The Never Ending Coup

It’s been over nine years now
That the coup against Trump
Has been rolling and rolling on
Relentlessly.

First we had Russiagate
Starting at the very tip top
Flowing down the Deep State slope to
Settle into an investigation 
Which did nothing
But tie up a legitimately elected administration
For years.

Then came the actual coup
With stolen election
And trumped up insurrection charges.
And when it became clear Trump wasn’t done
We got lawfare at it’s best,
Over and over again.
And when that failed
At least two assassination attempts 
Certainly got everyone’s attention.

Today the lies of those infected with TDS
Continue to flow
Simply because nothing has changed
Within their minds,
And likely never will.

Is this a significant threat to law and order?
No, because the only ones with power today
Carrying on the coup
Are the media,
That is if you ignore the dozen or so states
Which carry on the resistance
Like WWII Japanese soldiers 
Stranded on some island without a clue
The war they fought and lost ended long ago.

And yet the coup flows on
Soon to enter it’s second decade,
Which has to be a record 
For any first world nation.
