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

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.

Edit: a word*
