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.
