Donald Trump and his MAGAS have made QUITE CLEAR what their plans for America are [View all]

(reposted in its own thread from a reply I made Yesterday)

They haven't been secretive about it. On the contrary, they've been IN OUR FACES as to how they'll go about

installing a dictator
destroying Democracy
changing constitutional law,
radicalizing the judiciary
taking over Democrat run cities, sabotaging the vote in their favor (like they're doing in Texas as we speak), mandating far right"Christan" fundamentalism in schools,
outlawing Black studies,
banning books and censoring the internet,
criminalizing gay people,
outlawing all abortions and contraceptives,
mass deportations
militarizing police departments and granting them wholesale immunity, even from being video taped or recorded (like they're doing in Louisiana)
instituting stops and searches
cutting and rolling back assistance programs and so-called entitlements like Social Security, SNAPS, Medicaid, and Medicare
privatizing education at tax payers' expense
killing Affirmative Action and minority business grants
undermining environmental protections against polluters in oil and chemical industries
cutting green initiatives
undermining consumer protections
weakening NATO...

... and that's just off the top of my head, because they have FAR WORSE in mind.

And if reminding people of what's at stake this election is "talking down to them" then all I can say is heaven HELP us.
