Believe America: How I tried to end mass shootings and accidentally started a cult

di Samson Johnson (Autore)

Guernica Editions,Canada, 2023

Samson Johnson has spent a life in politics. A self professed politics 'bicycle seat' finds himself run down and out of faith around 2014. Despite having worked many positions in numerous campaigns, for a litany of different causes all over the political spectrum, he is jaded, pained and full of doubt. In an effort to bring himself down from the non-stop, jet set campaigning lifestyle, Samson takes a quiet data entry job for a think tank in Washington DC, in an effort to reclaim stability in his life. Within weeks however, Samson's attempt at finding serenity is shattered with reports of another mass shooting. Samson finds himself possessed to address gun violence and begins a one man campaign to end it forever. From Militia men in Oklahoma, to a Pride Center in Vermont, from shareholders in California, to reservation workers in South Dakota – Samson Johnson's 'Believe America' movement traverses all over America to reach its people. Yet as the movement builds in popularity so does Samson's reflection on his policy. Across his journey, he is given the creeping realization that his policy may be woefully misguided and in fact, stand to do more harm than good.
