You'll get Democrat representatives being less aggressive in Congress, Democrats less willing to run for Congress, Democrats less willing to volunteer for political campaigns, and Democrats less willing to vote.
The cost to political participation then for Democrats will be higher than for Republicans, who are far less likely to face any of these things. Yes, Steve Scalise says hi, but the one crazy person going after him is the exception that proves the rule.
What an idiotic post. Truly.
Look back over the past few years and just think for a minute.
Rand Paul. Lee Zeldin. Just recently - a staffer for Rubio.
Then, there is the aborted assassination on Kavanaugh.
Then of course, Steve Scalise and all the other Republicans who were targeted on the baseball field.
Tell us you didn't really think before you posted.
Any threads devoted to any outrage of vicious attacks and assassination attempts of conservatives?

All of those incidents had threads about them. Notably, no liberals called into question the motivations of the attacker, blamed the victim, or otherwise deflected about the horrendous nature of those attacks as tons of elected conservatives did regarding this one.
You have to be joking. There were plenty of people that commented about how Rand Paul had it coming and too bad the man that was going to kidnap and murder not only Brett but his wife and daughters didn't follow through.
Stop lying.
Exactly.

Of crap.
Glad they are prosecuting aggressively.
Most criminals don’t care about your aspirations. How about we start to aggressively prosecute ALL violent attackers? You shouldn’t be entitled to special consideration.

There are plenty more.
I wonder what kind of sentences the attackers received. My bet is nothing close to 40 years.
