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.
Why it matters: 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.

Dem voters are wanting activists to get shot?
Works for me.
As if they haven’t yet started fighting dirty.
Standard ops for them.
Bring it. Let’s rumble so we can take you treasonous punks out once and for all.
“Dem voters are wanting activists to get shot?
Works for me.”
As long as it’s fatal.
Is this the blowback from those on the dole? Even Elon is throwing a tantrum.
The norms of decorum. IOW, it’s Lord of the Flies time, people! Let it all hang out!
They’ll fire the first shot...we’ll fire the last one.
...hmmmmm.....
“Thrum refers to a monotonous sound or vibration, often described as a hum. It can also mean to play a stringed instrument in a repetitive or idle manner.”
..yes, monotonous indeed.....!! maybe a few bleeding bodies at the scenes of some of these mostly peaceful [sic] protests might send a good message...
I am genuinely intrigued by the psychology here. They lost the popular vote. They lost the House, the Senate, the White House. The DNC is bankrupt. Trump is more popular than ever and is widely seen as moving from success to success domestically as well as in foreign affairs. Trump's approval rating s something like 58%.
Nothing that the Democrats have been trying has been working. They have embraced extreme positions on transgenderism, DEI, no borders, taxing whites more than blacks, they're digging a deep hole for themselves and they are frustrated that "Our Democracy" is rejecting all of their positions.
And their conclusion: "we can't keep following norms of decorum." Okay. Fine. Choose violence. Cry havoc and let loose the dogs of war. See where that gets you.
No.
Read between the lines. The rabble are getting ready to shoot Americans.
collectivists believe in
by any means necessary
The refusal to accept that Republicans won…is turning sociopathic.
It’s Like giving weapons to raging toddlers
Bring it on.
Biden let them get away with literally murder (as in the J-6 murder of Ashlee Babbitt) - burning cities to the ground, property destruction, throwing molotov cocktails at police, assaults, and more - charges dropped by Soros DAs.
This emboldened these idiots.
New sheriff is in town and will drop the hammer on them. A few of them need to be “dropped” as a warning to others. They are cowards.
Being stern is the proper response.
How does one behave when they’re laughing on the inside?
How stupid. They’re going to start a war because the vote didn’t go their way. That train of thought is coming from ghdir immigrant constituency. The immigrants come from societies where one gets what one wants through violence. We MUST have mass deportations or we will become the same society. Everyone’s wives and children are subject to death and all houses subject to burning.
We all lose.
So rat activist are getting pissed that Republicans fighting back effectively. Screw them.
By their incessant attacks on nonexistent “fascism” and inciting a climate of fear and rage, the Democrats have created their own monster of a mob of irrational malcontents howling for blood and now it’s turning on them. You reap what you sow.
