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

      Uhum… wait, what?

      He will construct “freedom cities” filled with flying cars

      Trump laid out a plan early last year to build 10 “freedom cities” on federal land as part of what he described as a “new American future.” The cities would feature flying cars so as to ensure that “America, not China, leads the revolution in air mobility.”

      Let’s skip the flying cars (🤦) part for a moment… isn’t “building cities on federal land” like, what communist China does?

        Yes, and he doesn’t want to lose to them! He’ll show China that he can do State Capitalism even better than they can!

    They forgot the main one, he’ll possibly pardon himself off all past and future crimes

    And ensure he can remain in office (because the moment he’s out, he’s f’ed)

    It’s terrifying seeing the United States descend into fascism. It’s like reading about 1920s-30s Germany and the rise of the Third Reich.

    It’s taken decades, but it seems like MAGA’s systematic disassembling of the American education system has finally “worked”.

    What a sad, depressing state of affairs. My heart goes out to the ~quarter of Americans adults that are hurt by this and care enough to vote, and all American children and youth.
