Tis the season for an extra heaping helping of self-unawareness from Democrats and their supporters when it comes to over-the-top political rhetoric:
If politics is now war, it's because Republicans have made it war. Democrats have no choice but to fight.
— Joy Reid (@JoyAnnReid) December 23, 2017
Democrats can either fight Republicans like it's the end of the world, or they will reap the whirlwind form their base. Russiagate ALONE represents an existential threat to our democracy and Republicans are acting like Trump's Praetorian guard. Bipartisanship is a non-starter.

Republicans turned politics into “war”?

Pretty sure weaponizing the IRS to go after conservative housewifes & entrepreneurs reading habits & prayers over 2010 election losses is what made this a war, Joy. https://t.co/bEZeNxTdsl

Are you freakin serious? You people called @MittRomney freakin Hilter! You created movies about the assasination of @GWBLibrary, and called an entire group of people “deplorables” …. https://t.co/uxB7swsnx1

Yep
“They bring a knife we bring a gun”
“Elections have consequences “

Other than those (and many other) examples, the nasty rhetoric does NOT come from the Dem side of the aisle. *Eye roll*
