They've grown used to it.

Civil Society: What happens when men physically assault female politicians or threaten them with poison? If those women are Republicans and the attackers are leftists, Democrats greet them with silence, excuses, or worse. So left-wing violence grows.
Here's what the "tolerant" left has been up to in just the past few days, as the midterm elections near:
In Nevada, police arrested a left-wing operative for assaulting Kristin Davison, who is the campaign manager for gubernatorial candidate Adam Laxalt.
"He grabbed my right arm, my leg was lodged between the door and the wall. He twisted my arm, and contorted it behind my back," Davison said. "I was scared. Every time I tried pulling away, he would grab tighter, and pull me closer into him."
The alleged assailant, Wilfred Stark, had been charged in March with assaulting another woman, Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke's spokesperson, outside a congressional hearing room.
Punching A State Rep
In Minnesota, a man punched state representative Sarah Anderson in the arm after she confronted him for destroying Republican campaign yard signs.
"He was charging at me, saying, 'Why don't you go kill yourself?' " she told the Washington Free Beacon.
Meanwhile, Sen. Susan Collins received a threatening letter at her home that contained a substance the letter writer claimed was ricin poison. The letter mentioned her vote to confirm Justice Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Collins had been on the receiving end of a multitude of threats before announcing her support.
"I will not live in fear," she said in response, "I will not be intimidated."
These are just recent stories about attacks on Republican women. Also in the past few days:
In Minnesota, state representative candidate Shane Mekeland suffered a concussion after getting sucker punched in the face at a restaurant because of his political views.
Violent "Antifa" leftists vandalized the Metropolitan Republican Club in Manhattan because it had an invited a fringe-y anti-Antifa activist to speak. The attackers also left a note warning that "Our attack is merely a beginning. We are not passive, we are not civil, and we will not apologize."
Gov. Andrew Cuomo blamed Republicans for the damage.
Long List Of Left-Wing Violence
The conservative news site Breitbart has been tracking acts of left-wing violence — or active encouragement of it by politicians and journalists — and found more than two dozen in just the first two weeks of this month. The list tops 600 over the past two years.
And what has been the response from leading Democrats and the mainstream media to these attacks, especially those against women? Expressions of outrage from party leaders? Loud denunciations of violence of any kind?
Nope. Mostly crickets.
If they do talk about such acts, Democrats make excuses. They say Trump is to blame, or that Republicans have their own problem with violent extremists, or they complain about Republicans' use of the term "mob."
Worse, leading Democrats have been egging attackers on.
Would-be president Hillary Clinton went so far as to declare that there can be no civility while Republicans are in control of anything. The head of the FBI under President Obama recently urged Democrats to physically attack Republicans.
A few months ago, the left complained when Trump reportedly told a group of evangelists that left-wing violence would erupt if Democrats failed to win the House in the November midterms.
Given what's been happening recently, why would anyone doubt that he's right?
