When someone attempted to assassinate Trump would you have lumped all of those against Trump into "they"?

I don't support what the current administration is doing; not by a long shot. But to say, "they did just shoot two elected representatives," is disingenuous at best.

The current administration explicitly condones violence against political rivals. "They" seems fair.

      Does pardoning convicted January 6th insurrectionists count?

        Does Carter, Clinton, and Obama pardoning and commuting the sentences of the Puerto Rican terrorists that shot up congress count?

I have lumped every people with roughly the same ideology as the Trump shooter in a 'they'.

I don't remember the exact sentence but it was something like that: "That's the issue with pandering to violent conspiracy theorists, if they feel betrayed they will aim that violence at you".

Do you disagree with this characterization?
