The former president has pushed a slew of terrifying proposals, both publicly and privately, that he plans to unleash on America should he take down Biden

Here’s what’s at stake:

  • He will indict Biden and his other political enemies
  • He will round up, intern, and deport undocumented immigrants
  • He will send the military to the border
  • He will invade Mexico
  • He will round up the homeless and send the National Guard into cities to fight crime
  • He will bring back the death penalty in a big way
  • He will make stuff more expensive by taxing all imported goods
  • He will reevaluate America’s participation in NATO
  • He will roll back all of Biden’s climate progress and reinvest in fossils fuels
  • He will construct “freedom cities” filled with flying cars
  • He will try to overhaul the education system in the MAGA image
  • He will torch the First Amendment by going after non-MAGA media
  • He will legally delegitimize trans Americans
  • He will pardon the Jan. 6 rioters
  • He will gut the federal government and take unprecedented control of what’s left

        Fuck off fascist.

        The protests for racial justice had literally no chance of toppling the government. Whereas the coup attempt was the closest our democracy has come to destruction since the civil war (I’m sure you were cool with the slavers in that one, eh?).

        The insurrectionists are an antidemocratic force that go against everything this country stands for whereas the George Floyd protests were demand our government live up to its ideals that “all men are created equal” and deserve full rights under the constitution.

      They were kind of pretty lame as insurrectionists, I mean they were let in, they had inside tours and were given specific instructions.

              Libertarians love to gesture vaguely towards unregulated freedom and even anarchy, as if it’s some panacea for society’s problems.

              Of course, that’s usually about as far or deep as their plans go. They think grit and gumption are enough to get us there, somehow, and that we’ll all sing kumbaya, if only we’d let capitalism run unfettered and let people use racial slurs and hate speech with impunity.

      This sort of played out in Australia where everyone also hates the scary immigrants, except it was when backpackers stopped coming during the height of covid. Once the farms ran out of people to exploit and realised there weren’t many Australians willing to go live in a shed in the middle of nowhere and get paid a criminally low wage they all started freaking out. They even started ‘importing’ labour lol. And of course the response is ‘nobody wants to work anymore.’

      Have you seen the amounts of chaos farmers are able to cause?

      Examples in France, the Netherlands and recently Germany?

      You do not want that shit in the USA, because your farmers are not only equipped with heavy machinery but firearms as well. If they start blockading critical interstate or transit roads just to make a point, I think it is likely to end in deaths.

      We’ve had one situation where a moment of panic resulted in a police officer opening fire on a kid driving a tractor. No one got hurt but because of how our law works, every time a firearm is used by regular law enforcement, a criminal investigation is opened. And the officer was charged with attempted manslaughter.

      Would this have happened in the states, I’d have expected a different outcome.

    Trump pulls pages out of other people’s handbooks. His MAGA bullshit was Reagan’s. Now in 2024 he’s walking in Hitler’s footsteps. I’m not saying ”Hitler” as a buzz word. I’m saying it, because he’s literally doing it. His whole schtick is Hitler’s and his* base are lapping it up like mindless fools. Open your eyes and reject authoritarian assholes like Trump. It’s all fun and games until the things you believe in are eventually taken from you. I might not agree with everything others do, but I sure as fuck believe in people’s rights to determine what’s right for themselves. Trump and all his cronies believe they know what’s right for others — they don’t. They know what’s right for themselves. If you want to vote for Trump, vote for him. But don’t think that something you hold dear won’t eventually be attacked by him or people like him.

      “Cracking down on crime in cities” is code for cracking down on minorities.

      Cities are huge, so there’s a lot of crime in aggregate, but if you calculate an average crime rate per x number of people, you find that small towns are often way worse.
