Origin

On October 26th, 2016,[1] Walsh tweeted: "On November 8th, I'm voting for Trump. On November 9th, if Trump loses, I'm grabbing my musket. You in?" The tweet, shown below, gained nearly 2,900 retweets and 5,000 likes in less than 24 hours.

Joe Walsh Φ @WalshFreedom Follow On November 8th, I'm voting for Trump. On November 9th, if Trump loses, I'm grabbing my musket. You in?

Spread

Walsh insisted that his tweet meant he would be participating in "protesting" and "civil disobedience,"[2] but the majority of replies took Walsh's tweet to mean he was ready to lead an armed insurrection against the United States Government. It spawned a series of jokes mocking the futility of Walsh's supposed proposal armed insurrection, such as the one by @DJDadMCMom[3] shown below.

The tweet also spawned a series of jokes copying the format of Walsh's original tweet, in which users tweeted jokes about what they'd be doing on November 8th and November 9th. New York Magazine[4] picked up the spread of the jokes.
