Democrats call for violence to counter Trump agenda and tell lawmakers to prepare to 'get shot'
Daily Mail ^ | July 8, 2025 | Stephen M. Lepore

Democratic voters are asking their representatives to exhibit more violence while resisting Donald Trump's agenda - with some even suggesting lawmakers prepare to 'get shot.'

The party - reeling in the wake of Trump's November victory - heads toward the 2026 midterms with polls showing their own voters are unhappy with their performance.

Now, liberal politicians fear Trump haters are urging them to bend the law and even resort to violence in a desperate attempt to resist the president.

'Our own base is telling us that what we're doing is not good enough...there needs to be blood to grab the attention of the press and the public,' an anonymous Democrat lawmaker admitted.

The voters' solutions: follow Newark Mayor Ras Baraka and New Jersey Rep. LaMonica McIver, who both put themselves in legal trouble to visit an ICE detention facility.

However, another anonymous liberal told Axios that even that wouldn't be enough, with one saying 'civility isn't working' and to man up for 'violence.'

'Some of them have suggested...what we really need to do is be willing to get shot.'

'The expectations aren't just unreal. They're dangerous,' said one more.

While House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is being savaged for poorly photoshopped promo pictures and even posting holding a baseball bat, some Dems worry there's nothing they can do to satiate their base, which they say is 'white, well-educated and live in upscale' neighborhoods.

'We've got people who are desperately wanting us to do something...no matter what we say, they want [more],' said Illinois Congressman Brad Schneider, who says he's desperately tried to beat back voters who want yet another impeachment of Trump.

One thing they hear consistently is that they want the Democrats to get down and dirty and try to beat what they see as Republicans' own game.

Today's young Democrats view Old Guard geriatrics like Pelosi, Clinton, Harris and Schumer as DINOs.

AOC and Mamdani are the Democrats' future.

So when we lose, it is demanded we shut up and toe their line, but when we win, it is time for them to get violent. In other words, the left demands it their way or the highway. Fine. They want to bleed, let them bleed. It will be a brief encounter, no doubt. The left is evil and must be destroyed for the sake of humanity.

Dims try multiple times to kill Trump.

Then Dims claim that if they're loud that THEY must be the ones willing to get shot. What a bizarro world they present to their cult followers.

This is history repeating itself from the 1960s and early 70s, we had terrorist groups on the left that carried out all kinds of violence, groups like the Black Panthers, Symbionese Liberation Army, Weather Underground, just to name a few.

We have political assassinations like JFK, RFK, MLK, George Wallace and others.

It was routine to have riots on college campuses.

Back then it was the Vietnam war that was the main issue, today’s Trump.

It’s clear the modern left uses anarchy to advance their agenda. They use violence and intimidation under the pretense of protest.

I’m starting to agree with that Peruvian Señate Fag, Roberto Garcia. It’s time for politicians to start carrying guns when they go to their offices on Capitol Hill. The gay boy is right. Congress is a “barfight” and you should always take a gun to a “barfight”. Time for Republicans to get armed and start spending some time at the range.

The biggest threat to America is not Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, ISIS or al-Qaeda.

The biggest threat to America is Americans.

Democrats held the presidency for 12 of the last 16 years but that is unacceptable to them.

I want to know why people aren’t being arrested for conspiracy to overthrow the duly elected congress? Democrats would already have a dozen people in custody.

The call to violence is what happens to the democratic party when their illegal tactics haven’t met serious consequences.
This vermin has organized online, if the only way to protect public safety is to monitor their communications then jump through that hoop nd make the case for public safety.
These aholes are shooting public servants and listen to bleating about privacy rights

Exactly who is telling them to prepare to get shot? Find them arrest them and then hang them!
