Joe Walsh, a republican radio show host and ex-house representative, says he's tweeted that he's voting for Trump, and if he doesn't win, then he's bringing out his musket. A concerned CNN reporter, Jake Tapper, asked what he meant by "bringing out his musket", and Walsh responded with saying said, "It means protesting. Participating in acts of civil disobedience. Doing what it takes to get our country back." (Twitter). Personally I think this is very worrisome, because when people express their thoughts through media platforms, such as twitter, viewers and followers don't know what is really going inside of the head of the tweeter. And even if the tweeter clarifies, there's no way of actually knowing if he/she means it or not. Based on what Walsh is saying, it seems like he will start a literal revolution if Hillary wins. He uses the term "civil disobedience", what even is that? Is he going to up to the White House, and serenade Hillary until she agrees to step down as President? Even though he says he's going to be civil about it, I highly doubt it. In a CNN interview last night, the reporter was asking about Walsh's various concerning tweets, and Walsh got very defensive about it. If he's getting so worked up about a few tweets, what's going to be his reaction if Hillary loses?
