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.

The “Happy-Happy, Joy-Joy” dance is not effective government policy.
Harrisites.
He seems to be quite handsy. He can’t speak without using them for emphasis imo.
I have mostly kept myself from watching coverage.

I was able to watch about thirty seconds of Kathy Hochul.
That was sufficient.
They Bring Hate - To them, that’s JOY!!!
What is Marxism?... (How Harris will speak tonight - watch for it)
Marxism is a philosophy that clarifies the interactions between the economy, society, and government...... Friedrich Engels and Karl Marx made it.
Marxists hold that history is a sequence of conflicts between various social classes, such as the bourgeoisie, affluent landowners, who dominate the economy, and the proletariat, or working class, who have no say over their lives.
Marxism claims that the current structure of society is unfair and unjust, with the wealthy owning everything and the working class producing nothing.
They think eliminating private property and allowing everyone to distribute resources and wealth equally is the only way to resolve this.
“Democrats are the party of liars and hypocrites.”
I have been watching the DNC since the Pink song about 20, minutes ago, Mark Kelly, Leon Panetta, some former military, and now Gretchen Whitmer, (If I misspelled any of those names I care not), and the sheer number of lies is mind boggling!!!
And the Trump bashing is endless!
