The muskrat is a bit thick, methinks.

Margaret Atwood, 84 years old, attempting to burn an unburnable copy of her novel The Handmaid's Tale with a flamethrower.
A single unburnable copy was created to raise awareness about increasing censorship. The unburnable copy was auctioned off after her flamethrowing attempt, raising $130,000 for PEN America, a literary and free expression advocacy organization.
As Atwood asserted in her poem Spelling: "A word after a word after a word is power."

The vile muskrat has donated mega millions to 🍄rum’s campaign and now he is holding events in Pennsylvania". but muskrat’s events are likely illegal. 
The events aren’t open to everyone. To attend, people must sign a petition (“free speech”/guns) and must have already voted in Pennsylvania. 
Federal law prohibits an expenditure to any person to vote, withhold their vote, or to vote for or against any candidate. Violators can be fined or face up to one year in prison.
