He will construct “freedom cities” filled with flying cars
Is that a joke?
...I hesitate to say I hope these cities happen because Libertarian dreams often crash into reality catastrophically, but....also, I hope it happens because Libertarians dreams will definitely crash into reality catastrophically.
You know about the bears, right?

Sounds like Trump has been listening to somebody who idolizes Ayn Rand.
You mean the Ayn Rand that required socialist Medicare at the end of her useless life spent writing the absolute worst fantasy novels?
Which strikes me as odd since Trump didn't gain anything on his own merit.
He wants to indict Biden, whilst simultaneously creating / wanting freedom to never be charged with anything when you're president. Which has to happen before he's able to become president again.
Which would mean that Biden could simply direct SEAL Team 6 to execute Trump with impunity, solving the problem.
But the ruling won't happen till AFTER T gets re-elected (or cheats his way in), when Biden wouldnt be pres anymore. Delay, delay, delay is the game.
Isn't there something in the rule book that the president can avert dangers against the U.S. by force...?
He will round up, intern, and deport undocumented immigrants
A few months later, farmers are surprised there are no cheap workers anymore to help in the fields. Farmers get in (more) financial problems, prices start to rise in the supermarket as supply shrinks. Trump blames Democrats for his actions. Rural voters get more angry.
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.'
UK had the same with Brexit. Kick out all the scary foreigners, found out there were a lot less people willing to harvest, wait tables or drive trucks for the wages being offered. Last I heard, there are still no people to do those jobs, just less business.
I hope he dies of syphilis.
I just hope he dies period. With extreme prejudice
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*
Maybe we will get the Bell Riots after all.
The only thing I'm sure he will do is ensure that he keeps the power for the rest of his life. USA will have his first dictator!!
The problem is that this sounds like a very sexy shopping list to people on the other side. Some of these are enticing even to a lot of democrats, especially the ones about crime in cities. We know it’s a bullshit promise that would fail spectacularly, but the idea of it is scintillating to some. I fear for their votes.
"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."
I try really hard to believe that assassination is not a solution
You know, it makes the guy a martyr, and riles up his followers.
But they seem pretty riled up already.
And they and he are really, really wanting to make America a totalitarian state
And if they did, America would break up.
It would be a generally bad result, maybe good for California.
Actually I hear a lot about liberals with guns, I guess the left lacks armed idiots
What a shit hole and waste of flesh this man is composed of.
He will be more aggressive than the first term for sure.
this list is actually comedically villainous, who tf agrees with this guy anymore?
Idiots who think Trump will hurt whoever they perceive their enemies to be.
Biden with no message of hope and other than he is not Trump. That is sure one dangerous way to try to save democracy. Trump is the worst option. Biden still has a small amount of time to course correct and try to connect with people other than fear.
Dont forget building an iron dome!
