Democrat Lawmakers Alarmed as Radicalized Base Calls for Bloodshed: ‘What We’re Doing Is Not Good Enough’

Democratic politicians are facing the terrifying reality of the very radicalism they’ve fostered for years. A stunning new report from Axios reveals that many of the party’s own voters are now openly advocating violence — even at the cost of lives — as the only way to force change in America’s political system.

According to Axios, the calls for blood are coming from Democratic constituents themselves — not Republicans, not conservatives, and certainly not so-called “right-wing extremists.” This time, the violent rhetoric is from within their own camp.

One House Democrat, speaking anonymously, made a chilling admission: “Some of them have suggested … what we really need to do is be willing to get shot.” The lawmaker added, “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.”

This is not an isolated case.

Multiple lawmakers and staffers admitted to Axios that an alarming number of Democrat voters have expressed support for violent action. Disillusioned with what they see as a corrupt and unresponsive system, they’re increasingly calling for “spectacle” over civility.

These are the kinds of quotes Axios collected from Democrat-aligned voters:

• “Civility isn’t working.”
• “Prepare for violence … to fight to protect our democracy.”
• “It’s like … the Roman coliseum. People just want more and more of this spectacle.”
• “What I have seen is a demand that we get ourselves arrested intentionally or allow ourselves to be victims of violence… a lot of times that’s coming from economically very secure white people.”

Let’s be clear: this is the natural consequence of the apocalyptic fear-mongering the Democratic Party has peddled for years. For nearly a decade, Democrats and their allies in the corporate media have pushed dangerous, baseless narratives portraying President Donald J. Trump as a fascist, a dictator, even a modern-day Hitler.

They declared democracy was on its last breath. They labeled half the country as threats. They spread disinformation about “insurrections” while dismissing real leftist violence in cities nationwide.

And when you spend years telling your base that they’re in a fight for survival — don’t be shocked when they start acting like it.

This same environment helped spawn two known assassination attempts on President Trump last year. The bloodlust is not hypothetical. It’s real. And now Democrat leaders are scrambling to rein in the chaos they themselves helped create.

Axios noted that some lawmakers who have directly faced threats are urging calm. But the fire has already been lit — and it’s their own torchbearers fueling the blaze.

The left created a monster. Now, it’s turning on them.
