    In speeches, interviews and campaign videos, Trump has promised to:

    Use the military to participate in the largest deportation of undocumented immigrants in American history;

    Order the National Guard into cities with high crime rates, whether local officials want it or not;

    Prosecute Californians who protect minors coming to the state for gender-affirming care;

    Impose a 10% tariff on almost all foreign goods, increasing prices for consumers;

    Appoint a special prosecutor to “go after” his political opponents, beginning with Biden;

    Purge the federal civil service of anyone who questions his views.

      This isa reminder for us Americans to vote like your life depends on it, for many of us it does.

      It doesn’t matter how “in the bag” the election looks, it’s not over until the votes are counted.

          That’s why ensuring that they have as little of power as possible is important, and ensuring that should the worst happen you have the means to protect yourself or a group of allies who are willing to help protect you.

          What would have happened if they controlled enough of Congress to not certify the election? There were about 170 who said no, what if they had over half?

          We can’t let them win anymore elections, they are not a party that supports democracy. In fact they are in recent times openly speaking of their lack of support of the concept.
