US House candidate buys nazis.us domain to redirect visitors to homeland security

Mark Davis, running in Florida, says he bought domain because Republican party had gone ‘full fascist’.
A Florida congressional candidate says he bought the online domain nazis.us and set it up to redirect visitors to the US Department of Homeland Security, under whom federal agents have been carrying out brutal immigration crackdowns at the behest of the Trump administration.

Mark Davis, who says he is running as a Democrat for Republican Vern Buchanan’s seat in November’s midterms, took responsibility for the ploy in a Friday X post – as polling showed most Americans believe the killing of Minneapolis woman Renee Nicole Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent demonstrated problems with the way ICE has been operating.

“I’m a nobody. A dad in [conservative] Florida,” Davis wrote. “And I’m the one who bought nazis.us because [Trump’s Republican party] went full fascist and … not a soul in power thought to actually raise hell. So I did.”

Davis added that if establishment figures “won’t fight Nazis, then a nobody fucking will”.

The nazis.us link does take you to DHS ICE website.

"Davis added that if establishment figures “won’t fight Nazis, then a nobody fucking will”. "

With a few exceptions, most of the dem leadership still haven't realized that it is time to get down and dirty. The old rules no longer apply. It is time for the rest of us to fight back, in whatever tiny or large ways that we can.

Just south of Tampa but not the big money coastal district. Still pretty red. Things are changing in Florida. On my way to a protest in New Smyrna Beach in a few minutes. I've been shocked by the large number of folks who turn out. It's bigger each time. It's unusually cold (40-50s) which might reduce the number of older people who come out today.
