    Mental illness and right wing conspiratorial fear-mongering, like peas and carrots.

    Mohn is the author of books listed on Amazon.com, including one called “America’s Coming Bloody Revolution,” and another titled “Poems I Wrote While Stoned.” He called for the impeachment of FBI director Christopher Wray last February on his Facebook page. In 2020, he wrote on Facebook, “#Yeezy for Preezy twenty-twenty-feezy! 2024 may be the first year I bother to vote.”
    When touting the “America’s Coming Bloody Revolution” book on his Facebook page, Mohn wrote, “I believe the time has come for action.” He also wrote a book called “The Revolution Leader’s Survival Guide,” according to his Facebook page.
    One of his book captions says that Justin Mohn’s “four year stay in Colorado caused multiple lawsuits and changed the possible outcomes of the 2020 U.S. Presidential election by exposing 3 Presidential candidates as corrupt which forced them to drop out of the race.” A 2017 book description says he wrote then-President Trump a letter, according to Levittown Now.
    In 2023, he filed a lawsuit against the federal government that reads, in part, “Justin Mohn, a 2014 graduate of Pennsylvania State University, returns for the fourth time pro se to sue the United States for allowing him to borrow money to attend college without advising him he may not find satisfactory work as an overeducated white man almost ten years later.” …
    He said that “the traitorous Biden regime” wants to send “America’s military overseas to fight for Ukraine and die in a Russian winter.” He also claimed without evidence that electors from both the Democratic and Republican parties wanted him to be president in 2020. He also claimed that there is belief that he is “the Messiah.”
