Right before Trump actually won by a landslide, Ryan Wesley Routh wrote a letter to the Palm Beach Post from his jail cell in Miami petitioning anyone who would read it to get out there and vote for Kamala Harris.
"... choose democracy over a dictator," reads one line from Routh's letter, democracy referring to Kamala and dictator referring to Trump. Now that Trump has won, Routh's line about this marking "the end of democracy and the beginnings of a civil war" have yet to be fulfilled.
"Will Palm Beach County hand the keys to our nation to the Trumps for the next century or more?" Routh further asked in his letter. "How does Palm Beach view its neighbor?"
In a bit of apparent comedy at the end, Routh signed off his letter as "Trump Alleged Shooter Ryan W. Routh."

Is democracy dead?
Routh was arrested back in September after the U.S. Secret Service (SS) found him hiding in the bushes at Trump's golf course in West Palm Beach. Routh was reportedly aiming a rifle at Trump who was playing the course at the time Routh was spotted.
The 58-year-old diehard Ukraine supporter was arrested and charged with attempted assassination of a presidential candidate, assaulting a law enforcement officer and unlawful possession of a firearm. Routh is currently awaiting trial.
"This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump but I failed you," Routh wrote in another letter he wrote about his failed efforts to kill Trump before Election Day.
"I tried my best and gave it all the gumption I could muster. It is up to you now to finish the job; and I will offer $150,000 to whomever can complete the job."
Election Day has since come and gone with Trump still alive and declared the winner, so Routh's all-around efforts were a dud. He will now likely live out most or all of the rest of his days behind bars, presumably writing more letters to the public about his musings and political advice.
Routh was the second known guy to try to kill Trump this year, the first being Thomas Matthew Crooks who, back in July, fired a bullet at Trump during a political rally in Butler, Penn. Crooks killed one rally goer and injured two others, as well as took a chunk out of Trump's ear, before he was shot dead by a sniper.
"The American people are unusual," one commenter wrote about the situation and the way the American people tend to handle politics in a weak, passive-aggressive way.
"The government can bury them up to their neck in cow **** and the people will explain why it is unconstitutional to do that. They will tell the government if they do this one more time, they are going to get very angry."
"Trump and Kamala are two sides of the same coin, puppets in the hands of the Zionist puppeteers," suggested another about how this all somehow feels like a staged WWF match.
"America was meant to be a constitutional republic, never a democracy!" clarified another about the routine misuse of words by the political establishment. "USA Inc. is corrupt, through and through. It is time for the return of the republic."
