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

    “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.

      Yes, but it’s easier for Republican mouth breathers to understand “Chicago had 12,000 murder last year” than “The per capita murder rate in Chicago is 5.2 compared to 15.7 in East Cousin-sister-fucking-menage-a-troi, Arkansas.”

      If we put a cost on crime, I’m pretty sure the national guard should go instead to Wall Street. Hell, even some police stations might be costing more in comparison.

        The biggest form of property crime in the US – by far – is wage theft.
