Snakebit in Georgia

President Trump declared Georgia's secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, "an enemy of the people," simply for doing his job. Now, the secretary of state, and his family, are being subjected to death threats. 

Over these past four years of the Trump presidency, Raffensperger has seen Trump eviscerate many other Americans simply for disagreeing with him. He watched Trump call Omarosa - the only black woman to work in the Trump White House - "a dog." Yet, in 2020, Raffensperger voted for Trump again, as though it mattered not how Trump treated other human beings, just as long as voting for Trump benefitted him. Perhaps he felt he and his family would be treated differently. Not so. In Trump's world, Raffensperger is no better than Omarosa.  

A lesson to all those cowardly Republicans - Mitch McConnel, Governor Kemp, Lindsey Graham, et al; who continue to the last moment to bend to Trump's ill will:  You sleep with a snake, and you, too, will be bitten. It is its nature.
