“There Needs To Be Blood”: Democrat Lawmakers Say Their Base Is ‘Preparing For Violence’

In candid interviews with over two dozen House Democrats, Axios found a theme of anger, despair, and a dangerous appetite for chaos.

“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,” one lawmaker revealed, describing discussions with furious progressives. Another added that constituents have urged them to prepare for “violence … to fight to protect our democracy.”

Rep. Brad Schneider (D-IL), chair of the New Democrat Coalition, acknowledged the heat from his base: “We’ve got people who are desperately wanting us to do something … no matter what we say, they want [more].”

More means more radical; heckling Trump, rogue impeachment stunts, even getting arrested or tackled during protests. One Democrat recalled people suggesting they should be “willing to get shot” while visiting ICE facilities.

Another recounted a grim exchange: “I actually said in a meeting, ‘When they light a fire, my thought is to grab an extinguisher.’ And someone at the table said, ‘Have you tried gasoline?’”

Be prepared to apply FAFO rules. If needed give them some 308 pills. Defend your self and take no prisoners.

JB, all here have known CW2 was just around the corner several years ago, now the demoncrats are openly inviting the commencement thereof. Wonder if they have thought of which uniform, which side wears. We have, blue hair, black pants and hoodies or shirts, carrying the wrong flags.

Listen to the Socialist speech, read their words; confront the brutal facts – their leaders and influencers advocate for violence against Trump voters and Repub officials. They are violent against LEO – city, state, Fed as we read this.
Prepare accordingly. I live in WNC surrounded by patriots and libtards, know who is who.

After the first one the rest are free. Or something like that. It’s a shame, but perhaps the best way to restore the Republic.

Wait, what? “Their base is preparing for violence?” –You don’t know just how tickled pink I am to hear this…. along with about 20 million other Americans–most of whom are veterans and combat veterans.
