Watching In Slow Motion the Demise of America Democracy
Since 2016 Trump has sown the seeds
Of democracy’s demise by his nefarious deeds.
From the very beginning he clearly implied
If he lost—the results he would not abide.
And he trashed the press when he incessantly spewed
“That’s fake news”
In 2020 John Eastman laid out a plan for Trump
To throw out the electors in 7 swing states
This is the continuing scheme updates
To win in ‘22 and ‘24 races.
In 2020 he said coyly
If he lost—the election was run fraudulently.
But his shyster lawyers lost at least 60 times in court
With Powell and Guiliani by far the worst.
For it was not a mystery
This was the cleanest election in our history.
But still in swing states
Trump illegally campaigned
For officials to find enough votes
To push him over the top
He will not stop
And he clearly 1-6 orchestrated
As has been demonstrated
His wealthy donors the cash they piled
To pull off an event that “was
Going to be wild”
The plan was simple
Send in the mob to disrupt the count
Then have servile and unctuous Mike Pence
Send the electors back to their state
And replace the people’s will
With a compliant slate
And on January 6, to the adoring crowd he brayed
I’ll go with you to the capitol; — all the way you see:
As we see him turn and to the White House cowardly flee
Where he gleefully watched horrific
Events transpire on his giant TV
As Capitol police died and were ravaged
By an angry out of control mob most savage.
Chanting “Hang Mike Pence” murderously
And kill the b….Nancy Pelosi.
Trump meticulously every aspect of the coup planned
Down to the last man
When General Milley made it clear with a shout
The military would not help out.
At the last minute he fired the Sec. Def. Esper
And replaced with Patel and Miller.
And when Capitol Police frantically called for the national guard
General Flynn slow walked and made it hard
Delaying help for several hours
And somewhere in the melee Trump feebly tweeted “go home,
But remember this day.”
Yes, please do
But remember “I love you”
And after the post-insurrection impeachment
Trump doubles down on “Stop The Steal”
Repeating ad nauseum till his followers believe it’s real.
and the extent of his criminality is later revealed
At least nine times he asked the DOJ
To announce an election probe
He schemes with Jeffrey Clarke to tell attorney general Jeffrey Rosen he’ll be fired
And Clarke will replace him unless he agree
To send a letter to Georgia
That states fraudulently
The justice department was investigating electoral fraud.
But the threat of massive
DOJ resignation his plan spared
Which it turned out was meant to be widely shared.
Trump controls the heinous Republican cult
The master plan is clear
They cannot win an election fair
So state legislature minions maniacally engage
In passing voter suppression laws that enrage.
Stalin stated it did not matter
Who votes, but who counts the votes
So while surgically making it
Harder for elderly, students black and brown people to vote
They are letting state legislators decide which votes count.
In the guise of election integrity this will result in
Massive election subversion
And guarantee Republican domination.
If Trump wins in 2024 to you I implore
We’ve seen this movie before
This twice impeached
Criminal will guarantee a totalitarian state
All cabinet positions will be staffed
By sycophants willing to bend over and take it in the ass.
And the country will no longer be the US of A
But Trumplandia I say
But there is probably more—
Imagine his face on Mt. Rushmore.
And all of this because this
Murderous COVID man
Has fostered a republican cult plan
Who like followers of the
Reverend Jim Jones
Bend to his every whim.
Since Republican politicians it’s clear
Quake at his tweets and threats in cowardly fear.
To Bob Woodward he said it clear:
“Real power—I hate to say it—is fear.
But Trump’s malevolent influence continues unabated.
With a massive assault on the electoral boards
With violent threats to pole workers who are quitting in droves.
