Watching the latest polls
Showing that trump
Is leading in the polls
In the crucial battleground states,
Makes me wonder
Just what is wrong
With the average American.
Trump is on trial
Charged with over 90 felonies
Trump has been found liable
For defamation and sexual assault
Also found liable
for over 450 million dollars
In financial fraud.
Not to mention that Trump
Lost more jobs during his time
In office than any other President.
Trump presided over
A collapsing U.S.
and World Economy
Due to his bungling
of the covid crisis.
Trump led an insurrection
An attempted coup
To stop the transfer of power
To his elected successor.
Trump to his fervid supporters
Has been anointed by god
And is a Christian godly man.
In reality, he is the poster child
Of the seven deadly sins
That Christians are supposed
To be against.
So many people
Who worked for Trump
Have come out saying
That he is a dangerous delusional
Psychopathic madman
Who should never be allowed
Back in power.
So many people
Have concluded that Trump
If he returns to power
He will usher in Christian fascism.
he promises to deport
Millions of people
He promises to declare martial law
He promises to dismantle
the federal government.
He promises to reverse any progress
On combating climate change
Giving big coal and big oil
Everything that wants
So they can continue to rape
The planet
And make obscene profits.
provided that they donate
“one billion dollars”
in campaign donations.
Yet despite all of this clear evidence
of his massive corruption
and unfitness for office,
40 percent of my fellow Americans
Plan to vote to return him to office
I conclude with the scene
From one of the Star Wars movies
When Darth Vader is given
Unlimited powers,
And the galactic senate
Erupts in applauds
As the narrator intones
“This is how freedom dies
With thunderous applause.”
Sinclair Lewis
In his epic 1935 novel,
“it can’t happen here”
Wrote that when fascism
Comes to America
It will come wrapped in a flag
And carrying a cross.
And that my friends
Is how American democracy
May end in a few short months.
Vote wisely for this could be
The last free election
In the U.S.
and we become
another failed
illiberal democracy
like his authoritarian heroes
Orban and Putin.
