Our Republic is on the brink of war with itself. We have more guns than people and only so much hate until it turns into actual armed conflict. We need leaders who unite us. Not politicians who divide us.
We have to deescalate.
It’s easy to make our enemies people and not systems. Our real enemy is the system that brought us here, it’s money in politics, corruption, racism, poverty, militarism and climate change.
All of which pose a greater threat to people than any single country.

I shouldn’t have said deescalate we need to reconstruct and finish the job this time, we need to have some real accountability and justice for people.
We need truth and justice.
I also have to do a better job of leading and making our enemy gun violence and the injustice that perpetuates it not just one person or organization. We all agree (we’ll almost all of us agree) gun violence should end.
Ending gun violence will only be possible if bipartisan.

I’ve been in the past I’ve been myopic in my view. If we really want to save lives we have to work together against our real enemy- gun violence.
If we really are dedicated to saving as many lives as possible, we have to get over partisan politics and demand action from our elected officials on both sides.
Our division as a country is costing lives every single day.

Even if you completely disagree with me on gun reform and think gun violence is only a mental health issue- go and advocate for that. 2/3 of gun deaths are suicides by gun owners- go to your state legislatures and work on a program to help fund mental health programs to help them
If a Republican Congress member or state rep does this and it’s an actually a good program focused on reducing gun suicides (That doesn’t stigmatize mental illness more) I will lobby with you.
