From Daily Mail: 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 reportedly said.
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.
An anonymous liberal told Axios that “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,” another lawmaker said.
“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,” said another House Democrat.
