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
