After Charlie Kirk killing, Democrats are clearly the danger to democracy

It is time to look at our “mostly peaceful” apparatchik, leftist, Democrat countrymen... and ask some questions.  

For instance: How did the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk work out for you?  

The word is that millions of people are declaring their affiliation with the Republican Party.

There have been 51,000 requests to form new Turning Point USA chapters.  

After having shot President Trump in the head in Butler, Pa., and trying to assassinate him for a second time in Miami, Fla., could Americans be forming the conclusion that MAGA (Republicans) are not the danger to democracy? 

 Could it be the Democrats and their minions who are the danger to democracy, America?  

Democrats certainly appear to be the party of violence. 

If they don’t get their way, what are they famous for: keying your vehicle, vandalizing and burning Tesla car dealerships?

Or, how about blocking interstates, roadways, throwing bricks, “mostly peaceful protests” (aka “riots”), assaulting and killing fellow Americans with a different opinion, not to mention the justified looting (profiteering).  

The material question is how has that been working out for you?  

You, it appears, have elected Donald Trump by an overwhelming majority.  

Is that an understatement? 

You have millions of people exiting the Democratic Party.  

Disney fired Jimmy Kimmel. The rating for the legacy fake news channels are in the pits. Corporate America is pulling advertising dollars. 

U.S. Senator John Fetterman, D-Pa., is supporting Republican issues. He is de facto advertising he doesn’t have TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) — definitely an understatement.  

The Democrat Party has no issues to lead on. They are the party of the negative (no positives). Some postulate it is dead.  

I believe the only bright spot they have is the television show “The View.” Really?

Finally, Tyler Robinson can’t go home and spend the night with his (girlfriend). Actually, the “girlfriend” is ratting him out — betraying him.  

These so-called “American fascists” have got you SNAFU — and they haven’t done a thing.  

You (Democrats) brought it on yourselves. It’s you — look at yourselves. I think you have lost respect (trust, credibility, whatever — all of the important things. 

Perhaps the foul-mouthed Hunter Biden can pull it together for you. I hear he is a brilliant man.

OMG, we have run out of pardons... The auto pen isn’t working....
