“Dictators can't do it alone. They need propagandists and torturers to implement their vile agenda

America needs to know about #MikeDavis, frontrunner for #Trump 47 AG, auditioning by calling for 'gulags' and 'kids in cages'

No wonder Team Trump is eyeing him as attorney general in 2025.”

Mike Davis wants to cage kids, put Trump enemies in a ‘gulag.’ He could be our next AG.

Lawyer Mike Davis vows to punish Trump's enemies, migrants. No wonder Team Trump is eyeing him as attorney general in 2025.

@GottaLaff @willbunch I recently came across the Benny Johnson interview of #mikedavis. It's so extreme that I first thought it was parody. It's real. It's shocking. Trump wants to name Davis acting AG on day one, bypassing Senate confirmation. He could serve for 4 months(correct me if I am wrong) without confirmation. Imagine what those 4 months, and beyond, would look like.

@GottaLaff Nightmare scenario. I am not one for hyperbole, but not sure if we could recover as a nation.

@Barbramon1 @GottaLaff

That is not hyperbole; it is understatement.
If trump is sworn in as POTUS that minute is when the USA ceases to exist. There is sn entire fascist government in waiting. They will implement what it took AH a few years to bring about.
He will declare the insurrection act, which to all intents and purposes makes him a dictator. His team will roll in and unless we have s military coup, they will rule for decades.

Now We Know How Hitler Did It

There are few Americans alive today who remember Hitler, the details are lost to the mists of time. But Donald Trump is bringing it all back to us with a fresh, stark splash of reality…

And [edit] if you say it couldn't happen because the American people have too much sense, it happened once and nothing has changed to prevent it.

It was a hypothetical; I've edited it to make that clearer.

And in that 4 months, whatever necessary would be done to no longer require anything like a confirmation...

It would undoubtedly be permanent.

With all the trimmings that would bring.

@lupus_blackfur @GottaLaff @willbunch @gwaldby That's my thought exactly. And what's to stop him from naming a new acting AG every 4 months, a series of crazies eager to do his bidding. The only requirement for AG is a law degree and active bar status. Trump seems to have an endless supply of lawyers willing to debase themselves for him.
