Crazed Left-wing activists throughout the country are reportedly demanding that Democrat members of Congress “break the rules, fight dirty” and even resort to violence to stop President Trump from implementing his agenda.
According to Axios, House Democrats are facing “growing anger” among their extremist base at district town halls and in meetings with their voters, pressuring them to become more militant in their tactics.
Axios reporter Andrew Solender spoke to more than two dozen House Democrats, most of whom requested anonymity in order to speak frankly about their interactions with their radical constituents.
The lawmakers told Solender that that the Democrat base’s rage has “morphed into a disregard for American institutions, political traditions and even the rule of law.”
Many of these voters “tend to be white, well-educated and live in upscale suburban or urban neighborhoods,” the sources said. And some of them, according to the report, are literally calling for blood in the streets.
One Democrat lawmaker told Axios: “Some of them have suggested … what we really need to do is be willing to get shot” when visiting ICE facilities or federal agencies. “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.
Another House Democrat told Axios that constituents are saying “civility isn’t working” and to prepare for “violence … to fight to protect our democracy.”
The online behavior of their extremist voters is also reportedly causing Dems headaches.
“People online have sent me crazy sh-t … told me to storm the White House and stuff like that,” a House Democrat said, adding that “there’s always people on the internet saying crazy stuff.”
Democrat lawmakers have reportedly been fuming privately for months that their base wants them to “fight harder” when they lack the legislative and investigative power as the minority party to do anything meaningful.
“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.
Nearly every Democrat who spoke with Solender “cited examples of voters’ panic and fury fueling demands to adopt brute force tactics.”
A lawmaker told Axios: “I actually said in a meeting, ‘When they light a fire, my thought is to grab an extinguisher’ and someone at the table said, ‘Have you tried gasoline?'”
Futile efforts to impeach Trump have also apparently proven extremely popular with these voters, even as Dem lawmakers try “to shoot them down as impractical,” according to the report.
“We’ve got people who are desperately wanting us to do something … no matter what we say, they want [more],” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.), the chair of the center-left New Democrat Coalition, told Axios.
The pressure Dems are feeling from their lunatic base has, according to one lawmaker, put them in a position where “we can’t keep following norms of decorum.”
“What I have seen is a demand that we get ourselves arrested intentionally or allow ourselves to be victims of violence, and … a lot of times that’s coming from economically very secure white people,” another House Democrat said.
“Not only would that be a gift to Donald Trump, not only would it make the job of Republicans in Congress easier if we were all mired in legal troubles … [we are] a group that is disproportionately people of color, women, LGBTQ people — people who do not fare very well in prison,” the Democrat added. “The expectations aren’t just unreal. They’re dangerous.”
Despite these reservations, a handful of elected Democrats in recent weeks have been arrested due to their militant approach to countering the Trump administration’s deportation effort.
New York City comptroller and mayoral candidate Brad Lander was busted by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agents last month for allegedly assaulting a federal officer.
Lander’s arrest came a week after Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-N.J.) was hit with federal charges for allegedly interfering with federal officers during a scuffle outside an immigration detention facility in Newark, New Jersey, last month. Charges were dropped against Newark Mayor Ras Baraka for federal trespassing at the facility.
And Senator Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) caused a ruckus during a Homeland Security news conference with Secretary Kristi Noem in Los Angeles when he lunged toward the podium shouting questions. Secret Service agents had to forcibly remove Padilla from the room.
According to the Department of Homeland Security, authorities have seen a substantial increase in assaults against ICE officers in recent months.
“Our heroic ICE law enforcement officers face a 413 percent increase in assaults against them—it is wrong that politicians seeking higher office undermine law enforcement safety to get a viral moment,” a DHS spokesperson said last month after Lander’s arrest. “No one is above the law, and if you lay a hand on a law enforcement officer, you will face consequences.”
Preferably to a maximum security prison for the rest of their lives with NO parole whatsoever.
Gaza murderers, the left in the USA, same thing.
These demonratcommieblmantifaterrorscumfeminaziguanopathicpedophilegoatrapers have gone over the edge...
Stay armed at all times people the crazy are everywhere.
🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸
The democrats own that *radical* base.
They’re the ones who encouraged and fueled it, many times by their own rhetoric, right Maxine and Chuckie?????
If these pussies get a paper cut they’ll run home
I see a lot of old hippies at these protests! I guess they are the ones trying to relive the 60’s and early 70’s except to start a war instead of ending one!!
They’re creatures of their own making. Democrats have been nurturing these wacko birds for decades because it was politically useful for them. Now, like Frankenstein, they’re losing control of their monster.
"We must commit violence against the people Americans voted for in order to protect our democracy!"
The way things are going one big event will happen that will turn the people against the aging radicals—just like the nation turned on the KKK when they blew up a church and killed five little girls. One terrible event and the Left is done—tossed into the ash can of history where it belongs.
Ask any Democrat and most of them will robotically proclaim the biggest threat to domestic tranquility is “White Supremacists.” That is the official narrative of the Left and their media.
If the LIB/Leftie nitwits found January 6th to be “insurrection” isn’t this behavior by these tools REALLY insurrection?
Arrest...deport!
One perp already shot dead for the cause
Pretty close to where my thinking was as I consumed the thread. I see a lot of posts that a good percentage of these .....as described above haven't been taught the meaning of 'no'.
My own experience with some of the folks in this generation of socialist/marxist/commies is what can only be called "arrested development". People in their 30's-40's acting out like 16 y/o children can be downright dangerous and there's ample proof of how that was allowed to happen in educational institutions.
When the kiddies choose violence over reasoned debate, they will lose. They will lose badly. And the next generation, those that will clean-up after the mess made will be our next great leaders. The kiddies should just go home before they get hurt.
LOL, Well Stated.
The Democrat Party caters to extremists. This will only get worse.
It’s sedition.
And should be prosecuted accordingly.
I hate the term "well educated" in this context. Clearly these people, in this case, are mis-educated or simply indoctrinated.
The lawmakers told Solender that that the Democrat base’s rage has “morphed into a disregard for American institutions, political traditions and even the rule of law.”
Anyone who read Row v Wade, the subject of abortion itself aside, saw this coming. These are people who are the moral center of their universe. They are purely self-justifying. They are god. Disagree in the slightest with them and you are pure evil and not worthy of the slightest decent consideration. These people WILL kill you. These people WANT to kill you. Get on your knees before them or fight them. Their implacability takes any other choice away from us. That’s just the way gods are.
Liberalism is a mental illness...
If it is blood shed they want I say give it to them. Good & hard!
