The left has completely lost it in the face of President Trump’s victory last November, and are demanding that Democrats get shot or use violence in order to get the media’s attention.
They are desperate to get traction against Trump and they want to see actual blood.
Here’s more from Axios:
At town halls in their districts and in one-on-one meetings with constituents and activists, Democratic members of Congress are facing a growing thrum of demands to break the rules, fight dirty — and not be afraid to get hurt.
House Democrats told Axios they see a growing anger among their base that has, in some cases, morphed into a disregard for American institutions, political traditions and even the rule of law.
“This idea that we’re going to save every norm and that we’re not going to play [Republicans’] game … I don’t think that’s resonating with voters anymore,” said one House Democrat.
Another told Axios that a “sense of fear and despair and anger” among voters “puts us in a different position where … we can’t keep following norms of decorum.”
Axios spoke to more than two dozen House Democrats for this story, with many requesting anonymity to offer candid insights about their interactions with constituents and activists.
The grassroots wants more. “Some of them have suggested … what we really need to do is be willing to get shot” when visiting ICE facilities or federal agencies, a third House Democrat told Axios.
“Our own base is telling us that what we’re doing is not good enough … [that] there needs to be blood to grab the attention of the press and the public,” the lawmaker said.
A fourth House Democrat said constituents have told them “civility isn’t working” and to prepare for “violence … to fight to protect our democracy.”
A fifth House Democrat told Axios that “people online have sent me crazy s*** … told me to storm the White House and stuff like that,” though they added that “there’s always people on the internet saying crazy stuff.”
While other Democratic lawmakers said their discussions haven’t gone that far, nearly every one who spoke to Axios cited examples of voters’ panic and fury fueling demands to adopt brute force tactics.
A sixth House Democrat said that when they try to persuade voters to channel their frustration into a focus on winning back Congress in 2026, “people who are angry don’t accept that. They’re angry beyond things.”
“It’s like … the Roman coliseum. People just want more and more of this spectacle,” said a seventh lawmaker.
Given what we saw this morning with the ambush on Border Patrol agents, this is not shocking. It is absolutely awful however and I fear what it may lead to for our federal agents in the field. I just hope they remain vigilant at all times, as they were this morning.
