I'll admit I have a bit of a different perspective. The most violent thing I've ever been involved in was a punching match in middle school, one that ended after about a minute - not exactly high tier stuff. And I'm itching to see my elected leaders, well. Let's not say "put up a proper fight", but actually stand up to the right-wingers that have been degrading and sliming them for over a generation now. To actually put their foot down and say "No, we're not going to work with you, because you won't work with us", and actually mean it for once. We got a glimpse of that with Pelosi recently and I loved it. She stood firm, she didn't give Trump what he wanted, and in the end he was forced to cave. That's the kind of thing I want to see more of. Not literal kneecapping, obviously, but political obstinancy.
I hope that helps clear things up.
