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
Yep. January 6th was his Beer Hall Putsch. A failed coup. But Hitler got what Trump should have been getting, i.e. a prison sentence for treason.
Then again, perhaps that prison sentence was one of the things that gave him so much power later on.
There are some significant differences too, though. Hitler was 34 years old, and a war veteran at the time of his first coup. Trump was 74, and he was the first US president without prior military or government experience.
