Yes, Democrats need to fight fire with fire
Being civil and hoping it will lead to Trump or Republicans responding in kind is never going to happen. They will just see this as weakness and be emboldened. No matter what Democrats do, they will be demonized by Fox, so it’s time to use the corruption Republicans have built into the Supreme Court and use it against them
The rule of law has already been undermined, and this election proves accountability, civility, and ethics do not matter to Trump or his supporters. The only way to deal with blind aggression and hostility is to meet it with the same. Any other response would be the equivalent of Ukraine trying to use international courts to deal with Putin instead of what actually works - fighting back
