Trumpian dystopia

There will be many books, movies, documentaries, even libraries devoted to revealing the depths of endless lies, conspiracies, frauds, scams, cover-ups, and deadly treasons running like foul rivers churning through every law, statute, standard, or tradition. Our grand children and maybe their grandchildren will remember what has happened in this era of trumpian dystopia.

Kevin, while I'm in vehement opposition to Keith's response, mostly because it's simply not factually accurate by any stretch, I will say it's tough to write a political poem without it feeling like it's a predetermined position looking for backup. I don't think that was your intent, but focusing more on the impact of the harm (poetically) might help steer you away from the hate coming from uninformed and/or sociopathic followers of less-fun Voldemort (my nickname for him). Be well

I’m unclear as to which part is factually wrong. Where you see hate I see verified fact. Next you’ll be calling him Satan for building a big beautiful ballroom at no cost to the taxpayer. Oh, the humanity!

Perhaps you can explain what’s dystopian about secure borders, 2 million illegals (including cartel members, gangbangers, killers, child traffickers and rapists) deported, record stock market, huge tax cuts for middle and working class, making Europe pay for their own defence, making trade fairer using tariffs, less government regulation, no more racist DEI, cracking down on antisemitism on campuses, less bloated government, making liberal cities safer from crime, just to name a few. If that’s dystopian I’m the Cookie Monster.

Keith - "Perhaps" it's ridiculous to ask any poet to respond to the nonsense fiction you've put forth. What you've posited is factually inaccurate and demonstrably false. The poet is merely expressing a sense of despair over the abject loss of humanity and the cultural shift to not caring about one another that this administration has unabashedly fostered and let fester to an untenable measure. Let the poet have their feelings about it without your disingenuous boot-licking championing of the cheetoh in charge ffs. Give the sycophant routine a rest for once. I'm embarrassed for you.

Human Prepasition Take the blinders off and be distacted by The truth passing you by. You may see that some truths over there are worth surrendering to. You may walk to the water of truth and drink willingly of the facts there. You may have a horrifying awakening here. When you wake up from your nightmare.

Not to mention neutralising the Iran nuclear threat and a peace deal and return of hostages in the Middle East. For a liberal these really are dark times.
