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
…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?

Was the airplane a libertarian dream? A whole bunch of them crashed into reality before air travel developed into what it is today. They still crash, but less often enough that people accept the risk. If it were invented today, I’m not sure the concept would have survived people’s handwringing.
The idea of flying car cities as a government initiative is dumb though.
