Axios reported a crazy story Monday morning about what House Democrats are saying their supporters are urging them to do to resist President Donald Trump: Get shot, get violent, get arrested, even storm the White House.
With Republicans holding the White House, both houses of Congress and a 6-3 (sometimes) conservative majority on the Supreme Court, Democrats are powerless to stop much of the Trump agenda.
With Trump and his administration racking up win after win in Congress, the Supreme Court, the economy, foreign policy and especially the culture, Democrats dropping the F-bomb and other swear words in everyday messaging, giving marathon speeches and holding “No Kings” protests aren’t working to satisfy the masses of Democrat voters consumed by Trump Derangement Syndrome. They want blood.
In the first four years of the Trump administration, Republicans were shot, Trump supporters attacked, Trump was investigated and impeached (twice!) on phony charges drummed up by the Deep State and rioters tried to storm the White House.
In the four years after his first term, Democrats jailed Trump supporters, tried over and over to jail Trump, tried to bankrupt him and keep him off the ballot.
In 2024, two would be assassins were inexplicably able to get close to Trump, with one assassination attempt wounding him and two supporters while killing supporter Corey Comperatore.
All those efforts to stop Trump have failed, so now Democrat voters are demanding elected Democrats sacrifice themselves.
Excerpt from the Axios report (via MSN):
What we’re hearing: The grassroots wants more. “Some of them have suggested … what we really need to do is be willing to get shot” when visiting ICE facilities or federal agencies, a third House Democrat told Axios.
“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,” the lawmaker said.
A fourth House Democrat said constituents have told them “civility isn’t working” and to prepare for “violence … to fight to protect our democracy.”
A fifth House Democrat told Axios that “people online have sent me crazy s*** … told me to storm the White House and stuff like that,” though they added that “there’s always people on the internet saying crazy stuff.”

Many lawmakers said these voters tend to be white, well-educated and live in upscale suburban or urban neighborhoods.
“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 an eighth House Democrat.
“Not only would that be a gift to Donald Trump, not only would it make the job of Republicans in Congress easier if we were all mired in legal troubles … [we are] a group that is disproportionately people of color, women, LGBTQ people — people who do not fare very well in prison.”

It always comes down to race and ‘privilege’ for the Democrats.
But this report speaks to a dangerous tide within the Democratic Party. Will their supporters be satisfied with peaceful resistance and elections, or will their Trump Derangement Syndrome turn terminal and lead to bloodshed?
