1. Who is shocked that the most fervent Democrats want their political opponent murdered? No one.
The two most intrinsic characteristics of Democrat true believers are lies and violence.
Not to "gild the lily," but these are not good people.
2. A look at the recent past will reveal how similar antagonisms were resolved: the racist South.....all Democrats, and the lie that the recist became Republican.
The basic “Southern Strategy” myth, popularized by Kevin Phillips in the early 1970s, goes like this: under LBJ’s leadership, Democrats nobly and self-sacrificingly supported civil rights [1946-1965], giving an opening to opportunistic Republicans to crack the Democratic Solid South; following the support given by voters in some Deep South states to Goldwater in 1964, Nixon (formerly a supporter of civil rights) developed a “Southern Strategy” to use coded appeals to southern whites, enabling him to win the 1968 election; and everything the GOP has accomplished since 1968 is tainted by a continuous reliance on that same strategy to keep white southerners in the fold.
3. But the reality is quite different from the myth. At the center of the Southern Strategy myth is the idea that Republicans used the race card to seduce Democratic voters in the South into leaving their natural partisan home.
The truth, … is the opposite: the growth of GOP support among white Southerners was steady and mostly gradual from 1928 to 2010, … ...the Democrats’ use of racial issues. In other words, ...
“ The Southern Strategy Myth and the Lost Majority
4. Unable to comprehend that Southern Americans are not the racists that the Democrats are, they had to find some explanation for their ancient base, the South, turning to vote Republican. Sooo….they claimed that Nixon campaigned as a racist to gain the Deep South, to win over the Dixiecrats and segregationists to the Republican fold.
Of course, problem #1 is that the Democrats cannot provide a single example of an explicitly racist pitch in the campaign. There never was one.
“The two biggest issues in the 1968 campaign were the Vietnam War…and the anti-war movement….
Nixon campaigned on a strong anti-communist, law and order platform. While embracing the welfare state- Nixon was no conservative on domestic issues- he also railed against what he termed ‘the excesses of bleeding heart liberalism.’”

5.The violent Democrats torching Teslas and threatening assination will not change. They are not capable of change.
What will happen over time is exactly what happened to the lynch and racist Democrats.....
Need a timeline for the improvement of the party?
Life-long racist Bill Clinton......his name carries less and less imprimatur.

Rather than the Republicans winning the Dixiecrat vote, the Dixiecrats simply died out. By contrast, racist Democrats kept winning the alleged “segregationist” states into the ‘90’s. If states were voting for Goldwater out of racism, what of Carter’s 1976 sweep of all the Goldwater states?
