Democrats taking the stage of their national convention this week have labeled former President Donald Trump “dangerous,” a “clear and present danger” and a “direct threat to democracy.”

On a giant screen, they have flashed images of Mr. Trump with convicted sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein.

Former first lady Michelle Obama said Mr. Trump spewed “racist lies.” New York Gov. Kathy Hochul called him “a fraud, a philanderer and a felon.” Sen. Raphael G. Warnock of Georgia called him “a plague on the American conscience.”

It’s a far cry from the prevailing sentiment a month ago after a would-be assassin came within an inch of killing Mr. Trump, sending the country into a reexamination of increasingly harsh political rhetoric.

“It seemed to last for all of about 15 minutes,” said David Dulio, a political scientist at Oakland University in Michigan.

He said Democrats are fixating on Mr. Trump for an obvious reason: It works.

“It has been that way for eight years,” he said. “Nobody fires up the Democratic base like Donald Trump, and they are going to continue to go back to him as to what they see as a threat and a scary prospect.”

Many Democrats take a “he started it” view. Mr. Trump has been delivering his unfiltered and often outlandish views of his opponents for years.

“He viciously attacks Democrats and Republicans,” said Sen. Cory A. Booker of New Jersey, the master of ceremonies for Wednesday’s proceedings. “Women, people with disabilities, our veterans. He is indiscriminate in his put-downs. His is the politics of smear and fear.”

Some of the convention’s jabs have landed with witty insight. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries compared Mr. Trump to an ex-boyfriend who won’t let go of the relationship.

Strength through Joy we’ve seen before.

The Nazis aimed to establish a state guided by racist, antisemitic and authoritarian principles, and as such deemed it necessary to bring all areas of civic life under government control. Following a major celebration of May Day all Trade Unions were closed down, their headquarters and records were seized, and their leaders attacked and imprisoned.
German workers were forced to join a German Labour Front which controlled deductions for taxation and the ‘Strength through Joy’ programme. This provided compulsory activities for workers’ leisure time, with the aim of keeping people too busy to take part in anti-state activism.

Anyone who’s been paying attention anytime between 2016 and now knows the truth and that is that Democrats are the party of liars and hypocrites.

Unless they repent and turn to Jesus. But I don’t foresee that happening with the rat party anytime soon, if ever.

I hope some do - but if they’ve already gone full reprobate...

Hoping for some, I post the verses just in case a few, very few, may still possibly have ears to hear and want to have their eyes opened

Seems to me this is all posturing to justify taking another physical shot at him again.

Promising joy but spewing vitriol. This makes you think they have no idea what joy is.
