What will Trump do, or try to do, immediately? Here is what he threatened and promised:
Pardon the violent insurrectionists who followed his orders on January 6, 2021.
Dismiss all federal charges against himself. Start massive roundups of “illegal immigrants”, plus a few brown skinned men, women, and children citizens along the way, too bad for all of them.
Start his assault on all of those who he considers his enemies - those like General Milley and General Kelly who worked for him and accurately called him a fascist, and like Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger who were Republicans investigating his insurrection in the House.
Attack legitimate mainstream news organizations that have the temerity to report the news rather than the Trump propaganda.
Impose massive tariffs on imports guaranteed to spike inflation and trigger a tariff war.
Fire 50,000 lifelong experts in all the government agencies and replace them with pre-vetted MAGA fanatics who qualified by agreeing that Biden stole the 2020 election. Who will then destroy the agencies.
Start implementing the 900 pages of Christian theocratic and oligarchic tyrannies of Project 2025, implemented by these 50,000 pre-vetted MAGA loyalists and extremist Schedule F employees.
Withdraw aid to Ukraine and abandon NATO, thereby green-lighting Putin’s assault on Europe, and kicking off a massive war.
In short, Donald Trump will immediately begin to start ruling like an autocratic dictator, just like autocrats all around the world who helped him win, and will help him eliminate American democracy and the rule of law. He will do what autocrats do, rule BY law - use the law to crush all opposition. Donald Trump, and many of his cult, are clear that he has been elevated to be the king of America.
And like autocracies around the world from Maduro to Putin, future elections will just be pretenses. But, you say, he can only serve this last term because the Constitution’s 22nd Amendment says no one can serve more than two terms as president. Are you joking? The Constitution also says an insurrectionist cannot hold public office. So what? The revolutionary Supreme Court said so what? They wrote a bunch of claptrap words ending with the declaration that he could be president, 14th amendment be damned. Next up - "blah blah blah … he can serve as many terms as he wants". Please know that this Supreme Court has shown that it is opposed to democratic elections and “inferior” people being allowed to choose their government - starting with the gutting of the Voting Rights laws of the 1960s.
All of these things will be cheered by the theocrats, the oligarchs, the proudly overt racists, and the MAGA Cult. But it is going to be a shock to many millions of Americans who thought they were voting for a Republican politician. They weren’t. They were voting to put a dictator in to rule over everyone, including them.
But…. Americans will not be passively submissive to these assaults. America is in for a rude awakening. And America is going to wake up.
