For years, Democrats have mastered the art of ‘silencing opposition,’ which, let’s be real, isn’t as glamorous as it sounds. It’s less cloak-and-dagger and more like a series of unfortunate events. Banned from social media for mentioning ‘Wuhan’ or ‘vaccine’? It’s like being punished for saying ‘men don’t belong in the women’s sports’ in a world where that’s suddenly controversial. Meanwhile, independent news outlets are doing their best Houdini impression—vanishing into thin air. And don’t even get me started on the holidays—nothing says ‘family bonding’ like a Zoom call with 12 people pretending to enjoy dry turkey and awkward silence.
But here’s the kicker: not a single person responsible has faced the music—except for losing an election, courtesy of the American people who resoundingly spoke with their vote. No judge, or branch of the government did a thing, except perpetuate the madness.
On the flip side, we’ve watched Democrats transform American cities into their own personal ‘Grand Theft Auto: Block Edition’—smashing, looting, and strolling off without a handcuff in sight. Meanwhile, Republicans who dared to step foot in the Capitol on January 6th were being hunted down like they’re in an extended game of ‘Where’s Waldo?’—except, Waldo gets solitary confinement for untold years. That is, until the American people said, ‘Enough!’
And now we’re left with the lingering hate and vitriol from the losing side—the same folks who cheered on silencing their opposition, involuntary vaccinations, and jailing fellow Americans for simply exercising their First Amendment rights. So what now? We are clearly on our own. What steps are available to end this madness?
Leading by example is a good start, it’s working.
Enter Lenawee County Democrat Party and their now notorious Chair Bill Swift.
Please Click the following link to watch a video recorded at the Lenawee fair board meeting where Mr. Swift was almost unanimously voted out due to his actions on social media. Bill was also removed from the local Kiwanis Club after members and locals became concerned about his online threats against his political foes. Our voices, our votes against this perpetual madness doesn’t end with the Presidential election.

As you can see below, Lenawee County Chair, Bill Swift, the administrator of his counties Democratic Party page, wasn’t telling the whole truth in his statement to the Fair board.
How do we explain the rage, the boiling resentment, the hatred of “others” spreading across the world? Yes, our Nation is the example to the world, whether we like it or not.
The violence and division we witness are not born of our true selves but of the masks we wear—masks of fear, manipulation, and the deliberate sowing of distrust. The very tools being wielded by the Democrat Party and the Political establishment they serve. These forces thrive when we are fragmented, when we forget the core of our shared humanity.
In the face of hatred, manipulation, and lies, the greatest act of resistance we can offer is not to mirror the cruelty we are shown, but to return to the unshakable truth of our unity. When we act from a place of love, when we resist the false narratives that fuel division, we can create spaces for reconciliation, understanding, and mutual respect.
With the new leadership of our District 5 Chair. The illustrious Todd Gillman, along with the county Chairs comprising our District. The Republican party will be united in working against those who choose tyranny over liberty, whether they be Republican or Democrat. It is crucial that we remember who we are: not adversaries, but co-creators of a world where compassion and solidarity are the foundation. The time is ripe for peace—not as a passive dream, but as a transformative power that requires us to show up, speak up, and work together in love and truth.
The power to choose is not only a personal liberty—it is the foundation of our Constitutional Republic. Our nation was born from the belief that the people hold the ultimate power, that we are the stewards of our government, not the other way around. In the face of corruption, manipulation, and an ever-expanding government that has long sought to undermine our freedoms, we must remember: the power to choose is still ours.
The founders of this Republic understood the fragility of liberty. They crafted a system of checks and balances, a framework designed to safeguard the rights of the individual against the encroaching power of a centralized government. And although the political establishment has become a force that seems intent on corrupting those very principles, the truth is—the tide has already begun to turn.
The political winds have shifted, from the willingness of everyday citizens and brave leaders to stand up and expose the rot within the system. We no longer stand in the shadow of a government that is untouchable or beyond reproach. The corrupt practices that once seemed impervious to change have been laid bare. Those who have long manipulated, deceived, and divided us have been revealed.
We are no longer entrenched in a battle that feels endless. We are in a fight we are already winning. The efforts of those willing to stand against the establishment have ignited a movement—a movement of accountability, transparency, and restoration. The forces of corruption may still exist, but their grip is loosening. The people are waking up, standing united, and demanding change, not as a distant hope but as an imminent reality.
This shift is not just a political change—it’s a cultural one. The people are reclaiming their power. Every choice to speak out, to hold our leaders accountable, to reject division and false narratives is a victory in itself. These choices are no longer isolated efforts—they are part of a broader, unstoppable wave of awakening and action.
The challenge isn’t one we face alone, nor is it a burden we are forced to carry indefinitely. This is a challenge that we are overcoming. Each day brings us closer to the restoration of our Constitutional Republic. Each day, the foundations of our government are being strengthened by the people’s resolve to live by the values of truth, justice, and freedom.
The fight is far from over, but the tide has turned. The days of unchecked corruption, manipulation, and deceit are numbered. It is no longer a question of if we will reclaim our nation—but when. The power to choose, the power to stand against the forces that seek to divide and control, is in our hands. And we are choosing to stand united, to push forward, and to ensure that the promises of liberty and justice are fulfilled—not just for ourselves, but for generations to come. The time for change is now, and we are already making it happen.
Along with the removal of Bill Swift from varoius local boards and organazations the Lenawee Republicans have made a statement asking for the Lenawee Democrats to retract the dangerous and unpatriotic statements.
District 5 and it’s Counties Chairs along with Rep. Steve Cara join in those sentiments.
Rep. Steve Carra: ” Bill doesn’t need to explain his warped view of the Constitution to us, he needs to resign and apologize for his heinous remarks inciting Violence”
District 5 Chair, Todd Gillman: “I attended the Agricultural Society of Lenawee County last night, March 7th 2025 for a special meeting to remove Democrat Bill Swift from the association. Mr. Swift got up and gave a 2 minute non-apology “apology” where he doubled down on his hateful rhetoric about President Trump and the Republican Party. Once it was all said and done the society voted to remove Bill Swift from the association, which in my opinion was the correct thing to do, as he is a very divisive and hateful person and has no place on the community board of the Lenawee County Fair.”
Hillsdale County Chair, Josh Gritzmaker: “Are we really surprised by this spewing of nonsense and hatred? The gnashing of teeth? Bill Swift is just the byproduct of what we have continuously seen from the leftists for the past 4+ years. The tentacles spawn from DC all the way down to the streets of Lenawee County. Don’t be complacent, be vigilant, stay strong in our values and continue to shine light on this darkness”
Jackson County Chair, Russ Jennings: “It is disgraceful to insinuate that anyone who supports President Donald Trump is a Nazi supporter by association. The JXNGOP feels that this remark and others that were borderline criminal made by Mr. Swift should be taken seriously and at very least he should be removed as chair of the Lenawee Democratic party.”
Berrien County Chair, Ashley White: “In light of recent comments made by a Democratic chair suggesting that Trump supporters should be ‘hung,’ it is important to recognize the dangerous rhetoric that fuels division and violence in our society. This attitude is not surprising, as we have witnessed a pattern of escalating hostility since the 2020 election—from mostly peaceful protests to frivolous lawsuits and the fabricated narrative surrounding January 6th. Such statements are not only irresponsible but also undermine the principles of democracy and civil discourse. It is time for accountability; either the chair should resign or the board must take action to remove such toxic leadership from its ranks.”
St. Joseph County Chair, Ben Myers: “It is disgusting that our liberal opposition continue to spew a dialogue that is divisive and intolerant of opposing viewpoints. The Democratic Party is tolerant of everyone with the exception of anyone that refuses to codify their liberal worldview. They are NOT a party of the people, they are a party that continues to frame their pursuit around one specific agenda…destroying one man, and these comments only validate that they have no consideration for any by-standards in this pursuit. Lenawee’s Democratic Chair has taken a clear position, anyone that supports the President deserves death. His comments are hateful, and we have heard him loud and clear. We heard him say that the opinion of the MAJORITY of America’s voters doesn’t matter. It is no surprise to me that a party that has no regard for the sanctity of human life with almost 64 million unborn babies stripped from the safety of the womb since Roe v. Wade would think twice about exterminating their opposition. We are 77 million strong and we refuse to retreat. I would encourage every American to focus their energy on the things that build collaborative paths and long-term working relationship. But, I’m not holding my breath. The only democrat that was willing to stand during Trump’s address to Congress wasn’t willing to pursue the right dialogue or the right time to share his dissent. This polarizing division in America is troubling, but we (Republicans) refuse to abandon the President and hard working American Stakeholders during this critical time on our Republic’s history.”
Monroe County Chair, Matt Petree: “His “apology” was not even an apology. He said he was sorry about how other people talked about him, not what he said himself. Typical radical leftist behavior. He’s disconnected from reality and made statements completely devoid of anything factual, while calling for violence against his political opposition. Then, when his actions bring swift and overwhelming blowback, he makes a statement trying to portray himself as the victim of a misportrayal. I’d love to say this was an aberration but, as we’ve seen this week following Trump’s address to Congress, it’s typical behavior of leftists from DC all the way down to Main Street, USA.”
Branch County Chair, Karen Kirkpatrick: “The comments that Chair Bill Swift made cannot be taken out of the intended context. Due to President Trump winning 312 Electoral votes and the Popular vote, Mr. Swift is effectively calling 81.3 million Americans traitors to the Constitution. He then continued to say, very specifically, that these traitors should be “hanged until dead”. That is a clear threat to the majority of Americans, therefore, we should take it seriously. Any apology he has attempted is meaningless. Every attempt ends with a “but”, which any school child knows negates or waters down the first statement. He is not sorry he made these threats. He is sorry that more Americans don’t have the same deranged thinking that he does. In fact, he was willing to bet his reputation, community standing, party and, quite possibly, his freedom on it. The 81.3 million Americans who voted for President Trump knew exactly what and who they were voting for. The President was very clear during his campaign what he would accomplish while in office for a second term. He hasn’t surprised any of us, except for the speed in which those things are being accomplished.”
Cass County Chair, Dan Adams: “The lesson here is clear: If we’re unwilling to stand on absolute truth and hold ourselves accountable for words and actions-which is the foundation of sef-government-we lose our grip on common sense, even on reality itself. Bill Swift is clearly not ashamed of his words, although he has repeatedly spewed divisive and hateful rhetoric. I would implore all of us to be prudent with our words at all times, especially when representing others in an official capacity. This whole situation has become a cautionary tale of our current political landscape.”
In Liberty,
