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.
We can’t fight this shit with ineffectual moderates like Joe Biden.
The whole nation rallied and got him in office and a 50/50 Senate along with the House…
He wasted that for 2 years, then got nothing else down the other 2 years because he lost the House.
America was sold Biden as a way to defeat trump, and it just resulted in a brief pause.
We need to let progressives run the party, they’re at least willing to fucking fight.
Willful ignorance of everything passed in 2021-22 (and despite incredibly narrow margins) does not mean it didn’t happen.
Biden’s mandate was to protect Democracy, not increase infrastructure spending. Yes that’s a good addition to protecting democracy but the things you’re referring to were the expendable part of the job at hand. We got the sides at the expense of the main course. And what reason was that for again? Oh yeah, they didn’t want to seem like they were litigating political issues. Do you think that bought them some reciprocation from the incoming administration? Read the quotes from this potential AG again if you’ve already forgotten the context in which we’re having this discussion.
Playing nice with fascists does not fucking work and yet that’s all we’ve done since they tried to overthrow the government. Now our inaction means they don’t even need to overthrow the government. They can just walk in the front door.
The person you’re responding to thinks they’re a political savant and know everything. Best to ignore. Even when they’ve been proven wrong they adjust and pretend they knew all along.
