They did nothing of the sort.

You mean other than:
*Encouraging people to throw Republicans out of restaurants? "They're public figures, get used to it"
*Laughing at MAGA rally-goers being assaulted "They shouldn't have been there in the first place"
*Protesting Republicans at their home, terrifying the kids (see above)
*Allowing BLM/Antifa riots to burn away blue cities (Covid restrictions for thee, but not for the shock troops)

Etc. Etc.

On PA the restaurant and rally things were widely applauded by your cohorts.

One even urged “getting up in their faces”,

That wasn't Congress. That was Barack "They bring a knife to a fight, you bring a gun" Obama.

In other words, it's been part and parcel of the rot that is the democrat party for years.

And let's not even discuss the entire Fighting Words concept of branding half the country a bunch of FASCISTNAZIHITLERPUTINs.

Jonathan Last (a Republican) is urging Dems to fight fire with fire.

Yeah, right. (One two counts).

1. Last isn't a Republican. He's a grifter who's writing what YOU want to hear.
2. This argument is like telling the arsonist who burned up the city to turn his attention to the forest around it.

You, on the other hand, seem just fine with Republican promises of retribution, and wildly upset at anyone who suggests Democrats adopt the same policy

The democrats have been actively tearing this country down for decades. I'm done with it. I'm done with that trainwreck of a political party that serves foreign masters.

My notion of "retribution" is undoing all their damage and putting the country on better footing...and with that party being a broken, forgotten shell that no one votes for.

That's what I want. democrats want riots, crime, unrest, division and ultimately - the population controlled by an elite few. F all that.
