Donald Trump has made a slew of promises related to the economy, immigration, climate change, and more should he win the 2024 election.

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

    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.

          Food is simply too cheap, no one can raise prices because it’s a controlled system. Besides, people will buy less stuff it prices go up.

          And paying an honest wage for the work? Cuts into profit margins…

        That’s how fascists go about their business. By the time it becomes evident that their actions against the current entry on the “then they came for” list aren’t going to solve solve the problems they claimed they would, they have already started ramping up their hatred for the next entry on the list.

        His plan if he gets to be president again is to not have to worry about political opponents anymore. He’ll still demonize them and blame them for everything going wrong, but the elections will be cancelled.
