Just about this time the Dems assure America that they will tone down the hate-filled rhetoric and calm down the threats; they shift their hate machine into high gear!

Look at it this way. In the shadow of a national tragedy that claimed the life of prominent conservative activist Charlie Kirk just five weeks ago, Democratic leaders in Michigan appear to be doubling down on inflammatory and violent rhetoric. Far from toning down their attacks amid heightened political tensions, party officials are openly embracing symbols that equate political opponents with Nazis and call for their elimination, while publicly insisting that such divisiveness stems from "the other side."

The latest flashpoint emerged from a Democratic fundraising event in the state, where Patrick Ulanowicz, chairman of the Michigan Democratic Party's District 5, proudly posed for a photograph in front of a sign reading "8647." For those unfamiliar with the coded language of online extremism, "86" is slang for "to kill" or "to get rid of," a term rooted in restaurant jargon but co-opted by radicals to signal elimination. Paired with "47," it unmistakably targets Donald J. Trump, who assumed office as the 47th President of the United States earlier this year. Looming above the chilling numeric taunt was the bold proclamation: "MAGA=NAZI."

The image, which Ulanowicz himself shared on social media, quickly drew widespread condemnation after being reposted by State Senator Aric Nesbitt (R-Porter Township), a Republican gubernatorial candidate. "This is the face of the Michigan Democratic Party," Nesbitt wrote in his post, highlighting the event's high-profile attendees: Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, State Senator Mallory McMorrow, Michigan AFL-CIO President Ron Bieber, and state party chair Curtis Hertel Jr. These figures, all fixtures in the Democratic establishment, were there to rally supporters and raise funds, yet the backdrop of their gathering featured rhetoric that flirted perilously close to incitement.

This isn't an isolated slip-up; it's part of a pattern where Democrats in the state, and beyond, have ramped up their assault on conservatives in the wake of Kirk's assassination. In the days following, President Trump called for national unity, urging an end to "hate speech from all corners." Democratic leaders echoed similar platitudes on cable news, with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries declaring, "It's not us; it's the MAGA extremists stoking division."

The Democrat party primes its operatives to peddle outright calls for violence under the guise of "resistance." The "MAGA=NAZI" label isn't subtle satire; it's a dehumanizing smear that echoes the very Godwin's Law violations Democrats once mocked conservatives for. By equating millions of Trump supporters with history's greatest monsters, it paves the way for justifying extreme measures against them.

Hertel, in a recent interview with a Detroit radio station, dismissed similar criticisms as "right-wing fearmongering," insisting that Democratic rhetoric is "always about hope and progress." But hope doesn't pose in front of signs that spell out elimination codes.

This episode in Michigan is a microcosm of a broader national trend: Democrats, cornered by Trump's policy wins on immigration and the economy, are pivoting to character assassination laced with existential threats. From viral ads linking conservatives to historical atrocities to whispers of "86-ing" the opposition in private chats, the party's base is being fed a steady diet of rage. Publicly, they plead innocence, "It's not us," but the evidence mounts otherwise.

Final Word: Do you believe the Dems when they say ANTIFA doesn’t exist, 8647 are just numbers, no one accused MAGA of being Nazis, and illegal aliens only come here to work? …..I hope not!
