Before ‘both sides’ starts kicking in, this violent rhetoric is a pure republican tactic

This. Occasionally a democrat will slip and say something questionably violent, but they get called out pretty much immediately.

Republicans act like violent rhetoric is the price of admission, and their cultists cheer it on.

And a large majority of the time democrat does slip is because they're fed up and exasperated by the insane republican bullshit, a la Biden's "Will you judt shut up, man." In his debate with trump.

Exactly.

Republicans need to repeat back some words and look like cleancut white people to win reliably.

Democrats need to be geniuses, correct at all times, never angry, and also gorgeous if they want a chance in hell of being able to sit at the table. But even then, that's only the list until they start pushing back against republicans, at which point all bets are off.
