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

    If you’re going to make me pick between Biden and Trump I will pick neither.

    DNC has the full power to pick an actual candidate. Really trying to make this a “me” problem when it isn’t.

      You’re being made to pick whether to keep a democracy or succumbing to fascism. And you’re picking fascism because you think it’s not your problem.

      I don’t want to see you complain after this election.

        “Keep a democracy” as if the illusion of choice has ever been anything more than an illusion 🤣

        “Don’t come crying to me” is some boomer shit, I swear to god.

        If you’re even a little itsy-bitsy-uncomfy reading this as a lib, you best buckle up.

            As long as you can hand-waive away your own responsibility for the collapse, the libs will continue to throw around “tankie” instead of engaging in meaningful discussion.

            If you’re arguing in good faith, you must (at least at some point) understand that you’re arguing against your best interests (which is exactly the same thing you accuse MAGA of)

            Quite frankly, nobody needs you to defend the boots of the man stepping on Palestinian children.

            But you will likely continue despite that…

              As long as you can hand-waive away your own responsibility for the collapse

              Is that what you’re doing by throwing around the word “lib” to see where it sticks and choosing to flee because things got too hard and you didn’t get your precious, ideal way instead of playing the cards that we have now by dealing with the most imminent problem first?

              If you’re arguing in good faith

              I mean, are you?

              defend the boots of the man stepping on Palestinian children

              So you’d rather do nothing, let this keep going, and make it worse by letting another man step on Mexican children next. Got it.

              But you will likely continue despite that…

              And you’ve chosen to do nothing but jump ship. It’s arguably worse.

                You missed the point entirely.

                Such is to be expected out of the American education system I suppose.

                  Did I? Or did you fail to argue your point effectively and gave up? Because it sounds like you did.

                  Such is to be expected out of the American education system I suppose.

                  Oh, you do not want to go there. Not only did I study in a multicultural and bilingual environment, I also had a fairly mixed education in both the arts and sciences and graduated top of my class between two countries. In short, you don’t know me. lol

      Oh it’s absolutely a you problem. YOU don’t understand what’s at stake. YOU are stubborn. YOU refuse to listen to anyone that has tried to explain to YOU the consequences of YOUR decision to stay home.

      What YOU are doing affects EVERYONE. But YOU don’t care.

            It’s genuinely crazy how much time libs will waste arguing online about how they are the ones actually doing things to help the world and that the leftists are the keyboard warriors.

            You can dismiss us if you’d like, but please remember, this comment will always be here for me to tell you I told you so Pratai :)

              If you say so keyboard warrior. Make sure you find a fun video game to play on Election Day while the rest of us are busy trying to save YOUR freedoms.

              Oh, an I absolutely CAN dismiss you. We’re done here. Go sit down.

        No sir, you will get Trump.

        Rest of us are fully ready to fulfill the true American Dream (and fuck off to somewhere we can start a family)

        The DNC has decided to make its bed w/ Biden and I didn’t personally do shit to cause that one way or another.

        End the MIC

          Newsflash, fascism is on the rise everywhere and letting the US get overrun will only make it worse everywhere else.

          If you so think that you can shove the problem over to the next country, I so hope you stop complaining about it and fully commit to stoically accepting that life as it is.

                See, I think that’s your misunderstanding.

                The GOP isn’t bleeding the country, it’s the 1%.

                The GOP isn’t bombing brown kids, it’s the MIC (the 1%)

                You pointing the blame at other poor people is exactly what the MIC needs you to do.

                    The sad part of this discussion is that you are very close to seeing the problem but are still conflating the “both sides” argument as reason to always fall in line…

                    When vindicated, the leftists aren’t going to rub it in that the dems dropped the ball, again.

                    Me though? I might definitely rub it in!
