Things Were Spinning Out of Control



37 lines

Things were spiraling out of Control
With the election coming up
The Republicans uniting behind their hero
After the attempted staged assassination
The greatest conman of all
Who has convinced them
He is their savior
Promising to be a dictator
Taking down their enemies
The godless heathen
Left-wing democrats
And imposing Christian fascism
On America
Ending democracy forever
They welcome it - They want to deport
Millions of aliens, Want to set up camps
For dissidents, migrants, Muslims
Jews are worried
They always end up in the camps
Want to put LGBTQ people
Back in the closet
making trans people legally disappear
as they enact anti-trans legislation
decrying there are only two genders
male and female assigned at birth
Want to put women down
Hate blacks for black lifes
Do not matter to them
Darkly muttering about Civil War 2.0
Remaking the U.S. into the United Christian states
Meanwhile the democrats
Are endlessly debating
Whether their champion
Is too old for the job
Fearing that they will lose
Ushering into Christian fascism
Things were spiraling out of control
