Democratic lawmakers say their voters are enraged at the lack of ability to counter President Donald Trump's agenda, with some saying they could resort to "violence," Axios reported Monday.
The outlet says it spoke to over two dozen House Democrats to measure the temperature of the Democratic base. What it found was red-hot anger and a burgeoning desire to circumvent the rule of law, where explanations that Democrats simply don't hold enough power in Washington fall on deaf ears.
"We've got people who are desperately wanting us to do something... no matter what we say, they want [more]," Rep. Brad Schneider, D-Ill., told the outlet.
Most of the lawmakers spoke on condition of anonymity. Schneider's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.
"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," one such lawmaker said.
Another said their constituents are convinced that "civility isn't working" and that they should prepare for "violence... to fight to protect our democracy."
A third lawmaker described some of the messages from people online as "crazy ****," saying that some told them to "storm the White House and stuff like that."
Another lawmaker compared Democratic voters to the "Roman coliseum."
"People just want more and more of this spectacle," the lawmaker said.
Other constituents have insisted that lawmakers take on the risk themselves, with one lawmaker saying they were told they should be willing to get "shot."
"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 lawmaker said.

Democrats are like spoiled children in adult bodies. That makes them dangerous.
“””[that] there needs to be blood to grab the attention of the press and the public,” one such lawmaker said.”””
So shooting Trump in the head wasn’t enough?
They ALREADY shot him, and tried again at the golf course.
Kill them first is my answer.
Hey don blame your voters for what you project Democrats. You fomented this hatred so accept what is coming your way.
Or better yet, six feet below the ground.
Exactly.
To quote Obama, “We won.”
Yeah like violence from the left has never happened before.
Nothing new here. The Dems have used violence to get their way for more than a century - the KKK, Jim Crow policies, 1960s riots, Occupy Wall Street, BLM, etc.
They’ve already done that, multiple times.
Dems want Americans to be slaughtered..gee, I thought everyone has to accept the election results, I mean that is what they told us on the right for four years of Biden “You must accept the election results, otherwise you are an insurrectionist criminal” but when Dems are not in power, they are calling for blood and for people to die and eh, all good no worries
I liked them better when they just went to Canada.
I said from the beginning and was laughed at here when I said that the Biden regime ordered Trump’s assassination in Butler, they just didnt expect him to turn his head
Dem lawmakers say their BROWNSHIRTS are threatening ‘blood’ and ‘violence’ over inability to hinder Trump: report........
There, Fixed it...............
I agree with you. Notice that we know nothing about either guy that tried to kill him.
Gee. Anonymous Democrats in the house say this is what their constituency wants.
"...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..."
This is what they have fostered. This is what they have encouraged. And this is the fruit of their efforts.
If I were any Democrat, I would be worried for my own safety from their own unhinged "constituency" that may bring violence against these elected officials who have encouraged it.
I expect we will see this kind of backlash by Leftists who resort to violence because "Their elected officials aren't doing enough to fight the fascists in the Trump Administration".
Democrats in both the House and the Senate should be concerned about their own safety due to these feral emotionally fragile infants they have created, encouraged, and nurtured.
These Useful Idiots are people who lack impulse control, and the dimwits in power on the Left have built them up and now are suddenly realizing they have created monsters.
They really are not well people and we need to stop treating them as such.
All this chatter about political violence makes me want to rethink my daily carry options.
