Can democrats say the same?

El nope-o.

Plenty of democrats can say the same. I can. I didn't do any of those things. I know literally hundreds of Democrats IRL who didn't do any of those things. In fact, I think it's a fair bet that 99% of people who are registered Democrats have never done any of those things.

There are some conservatives who did those things, but none of them are on this board. No one here personally engaged in any of those activities. Again, I think it's likely that 99% of registered Republicans haven't done any either.

There are specific Democrats who have done those things, and there are specific Republicans who have done all those things as well. That doesn't mean Democrats do those things - or Republicans, either.

It's a common problem in communicating about politics - ambiguity in describing groups. If five individual Democrats do "X," it's technically correct to say that "Democrats do X" - even if "X" is something that nearly all Democrats never do. And for Republicans as well.
