e; I’m adding an edit message at the top of this comment - don’t make death threats against Republican lawmakers. They’re not actually being intimidated into doing things, they’re just using these death threats as an excuse, and the cops and prosecutors are going to go way harder on anyone left leaning, so it won’t accomplish anything besides putting you in a prison cell.
If this is what works on these shitbags then clearly the problem here is that they aren’t getting enough death threats from people who want to keep their democracy in this country
Republicans fall in line because they’re amoral dirt bags who never had any interest in serving this country and just got elected to help themselves, the fact that they can be intimidated into serving Donald Trump is just further proof of this painfully obvious state of affairs
Don’t even be fooled by this. They want these things and so they allow themselves to be cowed by these threats, but if they started receiving threats from the left you’d be seeing a call to arms.

If the political left and/or minorities engaged in the levels of political violence that the right does, the reaction would be swift and severe.
Recall that American conservatives were supportive, if not outright pushing for, firearms restrictions when it was the Panthers bearing arms.
Exactly. You can’t use the same kind of threats to stop this. It takes doing something like enforcing the laws against threats
