> Democrats use violence as a matter of policy.

Violence is intrinsic to politics, and anyone who says otherwise is an liar or unfamiliar with history.

With that said, violence should reserved as measure of last resort, but for the Democrats its their daily driver.

Violence is intrinsic to politics

People say politics is a contact sport.

But, it's not supposed to be a murder sport or a fight until there's only one last man standing.

In the U.s., the democratic party is the equivalent of the communist party in the USSR, where the motto was, 'whatever it takes', meaning that, murder and genocides were okay in order to achieve the end goal. "The ends justifies the means'>

SecondAmendment: "Violence is intrinsic to politics, and anyone who says otherwise is an liar or unfamiliar with history."

Carl von Clausewitz told us in 1832 that "War is a mere continuation of policy with other means", often paraphrased as "war is politics by other means", and logically implying that politics is war by other means.

So, yes, you have a point.

However, violence is only "intrinsic" if you define law enforcement as intrinsically "violence".
Law enforcement is intended to force politics into legally and ethically acceptable channels and thus ideally eliminate all unlawful violence from the process.

SecondAmendment: "With that said, violence should reserved as measure of last resort, but for the Democrats its their daily driver."

Exactly right.
