THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
A few white and/or guy friends have asked me recently how they
can help fight racism/misogyny. Here are several *time-sensitive*
requests:
1. if you know anyone who is planning to vote for Trump "as a joke," please explain to them why that is a TERRIBLE idea. Example from less than a cosmic second ago: Brexit.
2. if you know anyone who is planning to vote for Trump because they believe his message is (a) true or (b) valid, please explain to them who is controlling and puppet-ing him and (more importantly) his followers. please explain to them the explicit connections between increased domestic militarization and dictators' rises to power in at least 5 recent examples besides Nazi Germany, because most people don't remember anything from high school and the word "Nazi" has become a generalized acceptable slang for "person I am against."

3. Please then ask them to repeat steps 1 and 2.
4. If you cannot convince them, please remind them everyone is allowed no more and no less than 1 vote. There are seriously people who are "voting twice" because they are afraid their Trump vote didn't count the first time, NO JOKE.
In sum: THIS IS NOT A DRILL. THE FUTURE THANKS YOU FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO PEACE.
