MONSTER
The list grows longer everyday
Watching this Ogre try to sway
American voters to his team
Completion of his fascist scheme
He’s done it once, he’ll do it twice
Our fine democracy to heist
He’s not alone, this is certain
Bad guys hide behind the curtain
Those autocratic friends of his
Contemptuous of him, his biz
Waiting to plunder what we’ve built
Will steal and rob us to the hilt
Beschloss, Lawrence Tribe … real scholars
Speaking loudly … need to holler …
Their warnings may die on deaf ears
Democracy’s end, is their worst fear
What gesture is the antidote
Registration and right to vote
AND, most of all, Republicans
Don’t hold your nose, don’t vote again
Republicans have made a mess
How they got Trump is any guess
Once more, they’ll have blood on their hands
Fascism wins on their demand
McConnell, Pence, McCarthy, Cruz
Support this monster and refuse
To call him out, to build restraint
To block Trump’s actions with constraint
Republicans are most at fault
Responsible for this assault
Upon the people of this land
THEIR candidate, LIARS’ grandstand
INSPIRATION: NYTimes Opinion entitled:
Biden Shouldn’t Apologize to Republicans.
By Charles M. Blow, September 4, 2022.
QUOTE: From the above-captioned OPINION …
“In Biden’s speech in Philadelphia on Thursday, he returned to the idea that “MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundation of our Republic”.
“But, he took the pains to more clearly separate them from other Republicans, saying that “not every Republican, not even the majority of Republicans are MAGA Republicans.
Not every Republican embraces their extreme ideology.”
Biden called MAGA Republicans Semi-fascist.
Project 2025 appears to be more like fascism itself.
Hence, the anxiety over ELECTION 2024 … should Trump be elected.
