I am worried that if Trump wins a second term, the following actions will be put into place.

There will be no abortions throughout our country.

There will be no contraception sold throughout the U.S., thereby criminalizing uses of all types of birth control.

Trump and his staff will again make it so the rich billionaires will pay only 8% taxes. The middle class and the poor will pay more.

Social Security would be slashed or outright abandoned because Trump feels this is an entitlement, rather than money earned over a lifetime of work.

Medicare and Medicaid will be abolished.

As Trump stated many times, he will round up immigrants, deport them, or set up internment camps like the U.S. did to the Japanese during World War II.

Trump will give permission to his rich CEO friends in the coal, gas, and oil industries to continue doing business as usual, destroying our land, air, and water.

Trump is quietly working on his hidden agenda, which he has always planned to put into action through his 2025 plans.

The Supreme Court will continue to bend laws to make sure Trump has absolute power against prosecution.

If Trump is reelected president, the United States will pull out of NATO and plunge Europe and the United States into chaos in defense of our allies.

Trump will pardon the terrorists who attacked the Capital on Jan. 6.

We may face another Jan. 6 revolt from his lies, actions, hateful rhetoric, and outrageous behavior.

The only way to stop Trump is to vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Waltz. Harris and Waltz’s win has to be so great that Trump will not be able to contest the results, though he will.

I would rather vote for Harris and Waltz than vote for a liar, fraud, adulterer, con man, denier of fair elections, and stealer of top-secret documents.

P.S. America: Freedom, your individual rights guaranteed by the Constitution, are being challenged. Do something about it. Vote!
