The choice is simple.

Biden wins and you can have genocide.

Trump wins and you can also have genocide.

Wow, this is incredibly inspiring. Please direct me to the polls right now!

edit: Also, the USA has never been a democracy. Project 2025, more like Project 1492, am I right?

also edit: if I were president, and the SCOTUS just declared that I am an emperor immune to all prosecution, I would simply imprison my political opponents (plus all landlords and business owners and police officers and soldiers, except those vouched for by workers), I would free everyone currently in prison, establish universal health care, education, and housing, forgive all debt, close all military bases, withdraw the US military from around the planet, return all indigenous land and sovereignty to indigenous people, expropriate all millionaires and billionaires and use their stolen money to pay the current value of forty acres and a mule plus interest to all descendants of slaves (and also pay reparations to every country harmed by the USA (so, every country outside the western bloc)), connect the country with a national bullet train network, dismantle all nuclear weapons, reintroduce covid precautions (deporting to europe anyone who even raises an eyebrow in response), nationalize all corporate and social media and use it to relentlessly bombard the populace with Marxist history and amerikkka bad communist propaganda 24/7, and, as my final act, pull down the American flag that's on top of the White House and declare that the USA has been dissolved and no longer exists

I've actually run in local elections and won a few of them but I decided to quit when I found myself surrounded by either nazis or their liberal enablers. I don't have the firepower or organization to protect myself or my family from those kinds of people sadly.
