Attention conservative extremists in the United States:
If you're planning a mass shooting, an assassination, or maybe a civil war this weekend, please consider instead ordering a pizza, watching a Perry Mason rerun, and just chilling the fuck out, okay?

There's another
election in November 2022. Instead of buying bullets and pipebombs and shit like that, spend your money on a campaign website, buy some signs, and RUN FOR OFFICE. Yes, YOU.

If you want to see change America, then get yourself nominated and meet the people in your state and get
involved in our actual democracy. If you want to reform the government, the best way to do it is from the inside.
Killing people and blowing shit up just isn't an effective political strategy. This is America. If you think this nation is great, and our Constitution is great,
Killing people and blowing shit up just isn't an effective political strategy. This is America. If you think this nation is great, and our Constitution is great,
then respect our nation and our history and our laws and our Constitution by following the instruction manual!
Instead of using violence to achieve your political ends, use the system of government that has served us fairly well for 250 years.

Instead of using violence to achieve your political ends, use the system of government that has served us fairly well for 250 years.
Circulate petitions, raise
campaign funds, get your name on the ballot, give public speeches, share and discuss your ideas with voters, listen to the people of your community, and convince those people to vote for you.
Believe it or not, you're not the only person who wants
Believe it or not, you're not the only person who wants
a revolution. Most Americans want change just like you do.
And that's why we have elections in this country, which allow us to change not only our Presidents, but our Representatives and Governors and City Council Members and everyone else.

And that's why we have elections in this country, which allow us to change not only our Presidents, but our Representatives and Governors and City Council Members and everyone else.
I know you're frustrated that your
dude lost the Presidential election. (You have to admit, though, he was obnoxious and shady and people just got really sick of his shit.)
But hey, there will be another Presidential election in 4 years. And there will be a congressional election in 2 years. And there are
But hey, there will be another Presidential election in 4 years. And there will be a congressional election in 2 years. And there are
probably local and state elections in 2021 where you live.
So, instead of gunning down a bunch of people just because you don't agree with them, how about instead you eat some ice cream, get a good night's sleep, and start making some plans to do something that is genuinely,

authentically American: run for office. You didn't win this time, but you have an opportunity to work hard and win the *next* election.
I promise you, there will always be elections. There will always be opportunities to pursue the reforms and changes you want, by simply
I promise you, there will always be elections. There will always be opportunities to pursue the reforms and changes you want, by simply
using the tools of democracy that this nation provides to you.
Remember that "by the people, of the people" stuff? That means you. You have a right to run for elected office, and the right to participate in our government. You don't need to resort to violence or threats or
Remember that "by the people, of the people" stuff? That means you. You have a right to run for elected office, and the right to participate in our government. You don't need to resort to violence or threats or
secession or civil war. The right to have our voices heard is enshrined in our laws, in our Constitution, in our institutions -- and that right is, above all else, the thing that takes regular hard-working, decent, good people, and makes them Americans.
You can make a decision
You can make a decision
right now to be one of those good people.
Participate in our system of democracy. Get involved in local and state politics. Get people to listen to you -- and, make sure you listen to other people, too.
We don't have to fight and kill and divide and conquer to change things.

The idea of America is the idea of democracy. To be a democracy, that means all of us must be reasonable, cooperative, and cool. It means we must all obey the laws, accept the concept of government by the people, of the people, for the people, and, win or lose, respect and
defend that democratic process.
There is no need to "burn it all down." There's another election around the corner. Yes, you lost today, but you can win next time. America will still be here, our democracy will still be here, and we sincerely want you to be here, too.

You can't beat us. So, join us.
Participate in the democratic process. This is America; act like an American.

Participate in the democratic process. This is America; act like an American.
If you stand with this country, and if you defend this country's democratic process, and if you love this country, this country will give you a good return on that
investment, I promise.
So, to summarize:
No killing.
Yes pizza and ice cream.
No secession.
Yes to running for office and yes to participating in the democratic process and yes to being cool to your fellow Americans.
See you at the next election, okay?
Thanks,
