Remember when America’s watchword was HOPE, / and our leader was young, / so fit and whip-smart, too, / a family man, decent, faithful and true?
Now we’ve had ten long years of LIES, / a new gilded age that hasn’t made us great, / but it let a geezer who’s greedy and fat / be the world’s biggest asshat.
He thinks he’s the KING of the world, / and I’m sure he is in his own mind, at least; / he is like Leonardo and Lil Pip, / each guy going down with his sinking ship.
I blame all of us, not just the MAGA crowd, / because even if we didn’t fly his flags / and vote for the louse, / we chose poorly for the Senate and House.
There is one Group Of People, though, / that should shoulder much of the fault — / all who ignored the rule of law / and gave a thief the keys to the vault.
Spot on!
Thanks, Linda. Whenever I encourage folks NOT to vote for Republicans, I get comments from people saying that they vote for the individual, not the party. I think Republican officeholders at all levels — federal, state and local — have shown over the past two years, in particular, that they don’t have the courage to stand up to Trump’s insanity. Even Thom Tillis has hedged his bets and blamed Trump’s advisors, not Trump himself. All Republicans need to GO, and then if the Democrats don’t straighten things out, they need to go, too, in 2028.
