Summary

Republican lawyer Mike Davis, a potential pick for Attorney General in Donald Trump’s incoming administration, made inflammatory posts on social media following Trump’s election victory, saying he wanted to drag Democrats’ “dead political bodies” through the streets and “burn them.”

Known for his extreme rhetoric, Davis has repeatedly advocated for aggressive action against Trump’s opponents, including threatening to “cage children” and throw rivals “in the gulag.”

Trump has publicly praised Davis, and his son, Donald Trump Jr., has expressed support for Davis’s potential role in the administration.

    “F*** unity… We have the votes. And they tried to kill Trump,” he said in another expletive-laden post, referring to Democrats.

    Is someone going to tell him?

      My wife can apply for dual citizenship as the grand daughter of Irish immigrants. Her sister already moved to Ireland about five years ago. We’re making plans to protect our son.

      I may be called a coward, and part of me would agree, but I’ve watched this country descend into fascism for over thirty years. I no longer have hope that things will get better.

        Problem is you can’t escape what’s been set in motion, only delay it. It’s creeping in everywhere, corrupting it all. Sooner or later we will have to face it collectively and it’s not going to be pretty.

        We’re all simply traitors for being on this site.

        We’re traitors for having Signal installed.

        We’re traitors for voting against him.

        We’re traitors for deleting twitter, and Facebook.

        We’re traitors for being a registered Democrat.

        We’re traitors for supporting the rights of LGBTQ and minoties.

        We’re traitors because we dissent.

        If the above is what constitutes a traitor, I’d rather die a traitor than participate in any support of the harm they will do.

        I’d rather not die of course.
