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.

    get out if you can.

    Got family out last year (inter-racial marriage), I’m mostly out myself.

    Last year made me truly appreciate the meaning of the word ‘privilege’.

    The south has never, and can NEVER forget we elected a black man over them. There is no greater crime in their conception.

      Any advice on getting out? It’d be greatly appreciated.

        Get a passport and leave. Figure the rest out while you’re not in a concentration camp. MILLIONS of Jewish people fled Germany this way.

        Do you have family overseas? No matter how distant, now might be the time to make friends.

        If you have in-demand skills, you have a relatively good path to immigration. More so if you know multiple languages. If not, now is the time to learn.

          Did you hear that Trump has announced he’s going to cancel all birthright citizenships?

          I have, but haven’t followed up, so take that as internet info.

            I know, and I don’t doubt that.

            But my wife is white (like, blond, blue eyes, Galadriel white), so they won’t touch her citizenship.

            I guess I was an anchor baby in the end anyway.

            edit: Oh, I’m rich too, so I’m golden either way.

            Fucking privilege, man.

            Btw, I lived in the south, I wasn’t a citizen there either.

            If I’d hung around another year I would have been a muslim terrist from the Iraqi Taliban or something.
