Some House Democrats told Axios that their constituents have encouraged them to prepare for violence and “be willing to get shot” while resisting President Donald Trump’s agenda.
Democratic lawmakers said that there has been mounting anger among liberal votes that has sometimes even resulted in them calling on congressional Democrats to violate the law and be prepared for acts of violence, Axios reported on Monday. Many of the House Democrats told the outlet that these voters are often white, well-educated and wealthy.
“Some of them have suggested … what we really need to do is be willing to get shot” when visiting United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities or federal government agencies, one 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 Democratic lawmaker added.
Some voters have recently criticized Democratic lawmakers for not doing a good enough job of pushing back against Republicans and the president’s political agenda, according to Axios. Moreover, one House Democrat told Axios that there is a “sense of fear and despair and anger” among their voters “puts us in a different position where … we can’t keep following norms of decorum.”
The report comes after some recent polls have revealed that the majority of voters hold an unfavorable view of Democrats in Congress. Similarly, Democrats have reportedly been attempting to figure out what kind of policies to embrace to win back voters in the upcoming 2026 midterm elections and 2028 presidential election.
“This idea that we’re going to save every norm and that we’re not going to play [Republicans’] game … I don’t think that’s resonating with voters anymore,” another anonymous House Democrat told the outlet.
One anonymous House Democrat told Axios that constituents have said that “civility isn’t working” and told them they need to be prepared for “violence … to fight to protect our democracy.” Additionally, another Democratic lawmaker told the outlet that “people online have sent me crazy shit … told me to storm the White House and stuff like that,” but added that “there’s always people on the internet saying crazy stuff.”
“Democrats built this monster. Now it’s turning on them, and the 2026 primaries are going to produce some of the most unhinged candidates we’ve ever seen,” National Republican Congressional Committee Spokesman Mike Marinella said in a statement provided to the DCNF.
Apparently, civil war is on the horizon.
.
Prepare accordingly.
Theres no civil war unless a LEFTIST state attempts to seceede. Crazy bat-s..t people with purple hair & big muscular men in a dresses claiming you “misgendered” them, throwing bottles and Bricks at ICE vehicles , Physically interrupting arrests, rioting locally isn’t a civil war.
If civil war does break out, it will not be State against State. It will literally be individual against individual based on their political stance. Left versus right. Do not think in terms of geography. Think in terms of Somalia and Sudan.
Naw.
We all know who will win.
Christian, straight, males against people who can’t decide what gender they are, what bathroom to use, what their pronouns are, and have purple and pink hair.
Instructing people to commit violence is a crime.
“Some” House democrats need to be named and identified. What are their names?
““Democrats built this monster. Now it’s turning on them …” Bingo!
This ought to be fun to watch. “You go out and get shot and I’ll protest from my computer!” “No, why don’t you go out and get shot and I’ll stay home!” Who will be the sacrificial lambs? This is starting to sound awful insurrectiony!!
Communism ramps up. The nature of the beast.
And the (D)ems refer to Republicans as the party of violence.
Not nice of them to volunteer others for bullet holes typical ” for thee and not for me” mentality
“where … we can’t keep following norms of decorum.”
Good Lord! It has been many years since they regulated themselves with any sense of decorum and what few signs we do see, have only been when they’ve had control of the Congress or Senate.
Maxine Waters anyone?
Chuck U Schumer threatening members of SCOTUS?
If that reflects ‘norms of decorum,’ then Suzanne would tolerate any variety of language here. Thankfully, she does not…. 🙏
This leftist rhetoric is promoting… insurrection. A statesman and strong democracy advocate like Joe Biden should step forward to soundly condemn it, but will he? No, he’s busy writing a book and sitting in his old Corvette, burning rubber in his driveway.
The party of the Confederacy is riled up again, because we will not be enslaved to them and to their prog dogmas. Let the federal laws be enforced, and let the rebels pay the penalties for their crimes.
Not one definitive reference or quotation backing up anything said in this article. Nothing but vague reporting of hear-say. No value. A waste of time reading it.
Exactly,
We need quotes from named sources or this is meaningless. Owens and whoever gave this info to Owens need to be forthcoming.
Coogan/Dave,
If you read the article here it links to the original article by Axios ‘https://www.axios.com/2025/07/07/democrats-trump-resistance-violence-congress apparently not many of the Democrat legislators want to actually do anything about their constituents calling for violence. Seems like Rep. Brad Schneider from Illinois is the only one of these legislators willing to admit that the left is calling for violence. If Democrat legislators refuse to stand up in the face of violence they are wholly complicit.
Why do Democrats hate democracy so much?
Because the don’t believe in democracy it takes them out of power belong to the elites!
Are we at this point now?

How long have a been writing in MRAK that there is no co existing with leftists? They will never compromise on their marxism. Leftists must be purged from our society, as they seek to destroy our customs and norms. Liberals are fine, as they still believe in the Constitution. Leftists have never believed in the Constitution.
Some people would do well to downsize their empty houses and purchase a goat shed and a few chickens.
I volunteer to help them plant their first vegetable garden and hold their hands the first time they feel grass under their bare feet.
SO typical! ‘Let’s you and he fight!’ -While the ultra-wealthy puppet masters benefit from ultra-cheap labor from an open border, average Americans go broke: all without the elites ever dirtying their lilly white palms. Good God: when will people learn?
Dear Democrats, most of us just want to get along, do our jobs, earn money to support our families, be well educated and left alone. I will also add, we’re more than fed up with Democrat nonsense, negativity and violent tendencies. It’s fairly safe to say, Democrats can forget about any dreams for a mid-term victory.
To the Republic for which we stand! End to democracy/mob rule!
I suspect the first time a Maxine or Pelosi or Sharpton or AOC ‘visits’ an ICE ‘event’ and gets in the face of an agent, and said agent deploys his taser, that first time will be the last time confrontation is considered. They soon discover they aren’t heroes.
Perhaps diplomacy is the better part of valor, especially if the alternative hurts.
If you saw the photos of the punks who shot at the ICE facility in Texas (and wounded a cop), you know these are mostly spoiled rich kids playing anarchist, dependent on mommy and daddy for support. Or maybe federally funded NGOs for support? I hope Trump has undercover people in these organizations and can track them. These sissy punks will spill their guts when faced with long prison sentences.
Just an observation:
Have you all noticed how all those voices, who trotted out the J6 riot every opportunity, are all of a sudden nowhere to be found?
Where is their indignation that mobs are defying law and order and shooting at police?
Where is their outrage at the demand to basically remove a duly elected president?
Where is their condemnation of the violence we see?
Oh where????
