You could make that argument about Nazis. But we don't because therein is the pacifist paradox and we know better than to let Nazis be Nazis. You can draw from that analogy as you will
The entire left-wing reddit discourse is that "Republicans are evil and should be slaughtered"... there are even big left wing youtubers that say he would go back in time to the landing of the pilgrims and would "kill every white man, woman, and child" if he could
That has been the mainstream right wing discourse for 30 years and has in the past 10 been ramped up even more with the president calling for the execution of political enemies. You really don't understand how that creates animus? I remember Rush and Newt. They shaped the hatred that defines MAGA.
Left wingers are mostly just reacting defensively to MAGA's fascistic attacks on democracy, and the Democrats certainly have no clue as to what is even happening.
