The members of the party that spent the past three years trying to imprison their political opposition \u2014\u00a0when they weren\u2019t engaged in assassination plots \u2014\u00a0are tired of being the only ones to play by the rules.)<\/p>\n<p>In 2018, during President Trump\u2019s first term, current Democrat U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2025\/10\/16\/maine-senate-candidate-promoted-violent-political-action-in-since-deleted-online-posts-00613037\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mused<\/a> on the internet that voters can\u2019t \u201cexpect to fight fascism without a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >good semi-automatic rifle<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Text messages from 2022 sent by Virginia\u2019s recently elected Attorney General Jay Jones <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/10\/03\/virginia-dem-ag-candidate-fantasized-about-assassinating-republican-wished-death-on-his-kids\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">revealed<\/a> the Democrat wishing harm on former state House Speaker Todd Gilbert and on Gilbert\u2019s children. \u201cGilbert gets two bullets to the head,\u201d Jay said in one message. \u201cYes, I\u2019ve told you this before. Only when people feel pain personally do they move on policy,\u201d he wrote in another message. \u201cI mean do I think Todd and Jennifer [Gilbert\u2019s wife] are evil?

Yes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In January of this year, Elliot Forhan, a Democrat running for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/breaking-ag-barr-authorizes-federal-prosecutors-to-pursue-substantial-allegations-of-voting-irregularities-before-2020-election-is-certified\/\" title=\"BREAKING: AG Barr Authorizes Federal Prosecutors to Pursue &quot;Substantial Allegations&quot; of Voting Irregularities Before 2020 Election is Certified\">attorney general<\/a> in Ohio, posted <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/01\/28\/democrats-are-literally-promising-to-kill-trump-if-they-get-power\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a video<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/petition-launched-to-have-david-zaslav-keep-henry-cavill-as-superman-and-remove-james-gunn-as-dc-studios-head\/\" title=\"Petition Launched to Have David Zaslav Keep Henry Cavill as Superman and Remove James Gunn as DC Studios Head\">social media explaining<\/a> how he would \u201ckill Donald Trump.\u201d He said as attorney general, he would do it with a criminal prosecution, \u201cwith the requirements of due process, resulting in a sentence, duly executed, of capital punishment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The next month, Democrat House Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/IlhanMN\/status\/2021372148896682175\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">referred<\/a> to Trump as \u201cthe leader of the Pedophile Protection Party\u201d and said, \u201cAt least in Somalia they execute pedophiles not elect them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a sick, violent, and dangerous political party.
