What does 8647 refer to? I feel like I’m missing something obvious.

Also not sure about using the picture of the manic looking liberal lady as a template for this. She probably hates Trump as much - if not more - than you. Plus she’s had alt-right people posting these unflattering pictures of her online for years.

I did some thinking and I think it is a reference to ‘86ing’ someone which is slang for kicking someone out. I only heard it used in the 2004 Leisure Suit Larry reboot (probably because I have never been kicked out of a bar). 47 is Trump since he is (unfortunately) the 47th president. So basically saying to kick him out.

Thanks for explaining. Using numbers as political messaging is a bit weird. I’d only ever seen alt-right/crazy people do it before with 1488.

Edit: I believe you’d call it a shibboleth

1+4=5

2(8-5)=6

Trump will have three terms so 666 mark of the beast.

Trump is the Antichrist!

it is a common bit of lexicon in, at least, the US service industry. Places like bars, restaurants, etc. are where you are most likely to hear this used normally.

It’s this: https://www.newsweek.com/james-comey-deletes-post-depicting-8647-after-backlash-online-2073031

James Comey posted a picture of “8647” (get rid of Trump) spelled in shells.

I was thinking there’s nothing particularly bad or menacing about “8647” as it just means getting him out of office.

I suppose spelling it out in shells creates an implication of how he would get removed from office, and could definitely be considered a threat.
