Project 2025 if Trump were to win

I increasingly believe this election will be a referendum on whether anything matters anymore. There's no rational case for Trump, but there's a loud contingent on the left that just wants to burn it down. Combine that with low information voters and Republicans circling the wagons around their guy, and you have the outlines of a calamity.
Hopefully people wake up.

Buh buh buh buh all the Republicans on this thread told me that Trump loves the immigrants and would never do anything bad!

Time Magazine interview where Trump lays out his authoritarian plans. It's all right there.

https://time.com/6972021/donald-trump-2024-election-interview/

*To carry out a deportation operation designed to remove more than 11 million people from the country, Trump told me, he would be willing to build migrant detention camps and deploy the U.S. military, both at the border and inland.

So how will this work? Every brown-skinned person will get asked for their papers? Restaurants, factories, construction sites, landscapers will be raided in broad daylight by armed troops? Will people get rewarded for turning their neighbors?

He would, at his personal discretion, withhold funds appropriated by Congress, according to top advisers.

Congress? Who needs Congress?

Trump says he might fire U.S. Attorneys who refuse his orders to prosecute someone: “It would depend on the situation.” Trump has also vowed to appoint a “real special prosecutor” to go after Biden.

Nixon would be so jealous.

Trump is planning to intensify his protectionist agenda, telling me he’s considering a tariff of more than 10% on all imports, and perhaps even a 100% tariff on some Chinese goods.

You think inflation is bad now...

After Orban visited Mar-a-Lago in March, he said Trump “wouldn’t give a penny” to Ukraine. “I wouldn’t give unless Europe starts equalizing,” Trump hedges in our interview. “If Europe is not going to pay, why should we pay?

Communist China’s leaders “have to understand that things like that can’t come easy,” Trump says, but he declines to say whether he would come to Taiwan’s defense.

If South Korea doesn’t pay more to support U.S. troops there to deter Kim Jong Un’s increasingly belligerent regime to the north, Trump suggests the U.S. could withdraw its forces.

Just a frickin disaster

Exactly.
Cue all the folks who will tell us that “Trump doesn’t mean what he says” and that we shouldn’t take him seriously.

Just rounding up a few million people, many of whom might actually just be too brown for the GOP. What a country the GOP wants.

But we have so many "democrats" in here who say they want this because reasons. Especially women, funny enough.

No. Of course he wouldn’t. During his first term Trump was already arguing that his first term didn’t count and he should get a “redo” and he’s hardly going to give up the idea.

Think about what a disaster that would be for the economy if we deported 11 million people, many of whom do the jobs that keep food on the table and that no one else wants to do.

Considering part of his motivation is for a whiter america, he’d close the gap with more Eastern European immigrants. You know, like the ones who work at his resorts.

OMG. He already perpetrated an attempted coup (well, autogolpe to be exact) but we (Amercians) simply can't bring ourselves to admit that it happened here. OF course Trump won't leave office if it suits him not to. He will have had almost a decade to figure out how to stay in power by 2029. The one thing we have going for us is his age.

We don't have to think - we have data from when we did it back in the 1930's

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican_Repatriation

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0047272721001948

"Using individual linked data on natives in the 1930 and 1940 Censuses, we find that Mexican repatriations resulted in reduced employment and occupational downgrading of native workers."

If Trump establishes the new norm that presidents can personally order the DOJ to investigate and arrest their political enemies, as this Time magazine interview suggests, then why on earth would he hand the keys to the White House over to, say, President Gavin Newsom and make himself an easy target?

If we let Trump win, we are all going to be living in the Republic of Gilead.

You are correct. They only thing I'll add is that he is already claiming almost this exact defense in his court cases right now - last week his lawyer was in front of the Supreme Court saying the President should have immunity from prosecution for killing a political rival as long as it was done as an official act. Point being, we don't have to make up hypothetical situations. We are already there.
