4:03Now PlayingDonald Trump’s supporters are not content with his election victory, and they are now calling for mass executions of Democrats. In posts across conservative websites, hardcore Trump fans have said that “executions are warranted” to go after the people who went after Trump, and that doesn’t just include those who prosecuted him. Everyone that opposed Trump has a target on their back right now, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.

Supporters of Donald J. Trump are not only, you know, excited that he won, but they're excited about the possibilities that now lay before them because they believe that they have now been given a mandate to go out there and murder people. On the left. In the immediate hours following the calling of the 2024 election for Donald Trump, posts began to appear across conservative social media websites with Trump supporters calling for open executions of people on the left up to, and including Vice President Kamala Harris, herself Wired, put together a report the day after the election, you know, compiling. They had already been going through, finding all these posts. Let me read a couple. One of them who posted on Gab simply said, build the gallows. Another poster on patriots.win a pro-Trump forum shared an AI drawing of Nancy Pelosi with a noose around her neck about to be hanged. Other posters shared images of Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayor Orcas, suggesting he too be hanged for what they call high treason. One truth social user wrote quote, many executions are warranted. These traitors are a terminal cancer that must be completely eradicated to make America healthy again. And another wrote Sounds like a military court should sentence her talking about Harris to death. Yes,
The policies that we're gonna get out of this Trump administration are bad enough. The economic and environmental destruction are bad enough. The gloating in and of itself is bad enough, but to make it all worse, each and every one of us that did not blindly support this man, we have targets on our back because when they're talking about build the gallows, when they're talking about mass executions may be warranted, they're not just talking about the elected liberals that they hate. They're talking about all of us. And I know that because I've gotten these death threats. Other, uh, uh, uh, liberal commentators get them far more frequently than I do. Far more graphically than I do. But we all get them and we've all seen increases in them, and that's what's gonna happen. These threats are gonna continue and hopefully they remain only threats.
But this is a terrifying time to be in this business. This is a terrifying time to be an outspoken critic of Donald Trump. It's not going to intimidate us, any of us. We're gonna keep doing this and you're gonna keep watching. Hopefully you're gonna listen to the podcast. You're gonna, you're gonna do all of this, but you at the same time, we are all targets right now and hopefully this dies down. Hopefully this is just a couple of wackos out there putting these stupid thoughts out and then forgetting about it and moving on with their lives. Hopefully that is what happens. But we probably all need to be on guard at least just a little bit, because we don't know which of these threats are just bluster and which are legitimate. I.
