The wave of Democrat Socialism
Sweeping America today
Is no different than China’s Cultural Revolution
The DSA want to abolish (not reform)
Police, prisons, borders, the Senate,
The presidency, and Supreme Court
Because they are all remnants of an old order.
So just like the Red Guard youth
They seek to destroy “The Four Olds”
To usher in a New Wave of chaos
A tsunami of Hope and Change
To make way for the shining Utopia
That will of course naturally arise.
It didn’t work in China,
But that’s just because they didn’t do it right…
Get ready America,
Here comes some righteous change.
Don’t hold your breath, just hunker down,
Pull your family close
And keep your powder dry.
