Back in twenty sixteen
the people with the knowledge
said, He didn’t win the popular vote;
let’s trash the electoral college!
Then in twenty twenty,
extra millions came to vote;
chances that was legit
seem more and more remote.
Now it’s twenty-four
and Trump has won them all:
whitehouse, house and senate.
Blew up the great blue wall.
The people with the knowledge
would rather sink than swim,
“He doesn’t have a mandate;
the margins are too thin!”
And so for four more years,
our politics are cursed.
The MAGAs want things great again,
progressives fear the worst.
Don’t shoot, I’m just the messenger;
I voted for the guy
who cast his lot with MAHA,
watched We The People die…

Topic: Birthday of Cinds Magas (August 04)
Form: Vertical Monocrostic
Paul Ryan seems too concerned,
I fear,
that there are non-MAGAs who actively seek to harm
the U.S. President.
While I am among those
who would prefer to live in a nation
that never would have ever elected a kleptocrat,
an anti-Lady Liberty Colossus,
this is because we feared he might deliver on his promises
Which felt like more of a threat to healthy democracy,
thereby bringing far more harm upon himself,
and the rest of us,
than we would ever wish
upon our worst enemy.
DT2 is harming himself
quite Make America Sick Again
effectively.
He needs no Make Business As Usual
greedy and corrupt help with that.
