Can’t say this loud enough!
With the latest mass shooting at Brown University, this might be a good time to mention that Bill Clinton’s assault weapons ban reduced mass shooting deaths by 43% - but after George W Bush & Republicans let it expire, mass shooting deaths spiked by 239%.

The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you.
And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it.

MAGA is lost, folks.
Don't waste your time convincing them.
It's a cult beholden to Trump, hate and lies (Yes, he lost the 2020 election.)
Win over the majority instead.
Just share all the facts about Charlie Kirk using his own words and rhetoric, and Trump embracing violence.
It's all there.
