Y'all Qaeda...

Slipshod,

Bank shot,

Slap box,

Keystone Cops,

 

Million MAGA March:

Boogaloos,

Proud Boys,

KKK and Neo-Nazis,

POST Charlottesville,

 

Showing up for “stop the steal” rallies,

When they could give a rat’s ass about democracy,

73 million of them despite the evidence,

Voted for the sociopath,

 

In 2016, they had the excuse

Of not knowing he wasn’t as obtuse,

Emoluments he hadn’t yet abused,

They voted for him then despite hearing him on Access Hollywood,

81% of white evangelicals and 53% of white women voted for the pussy-grabber, and white supremacist,

 

They’ve had four years to observe him,

His over-the-top statements; his slurred speeches,

 

His

 

Slipshod,

Bank shot,

Slap box,

Keystone Cops,

 

Magical thinking, name-it-and-claim-it, “rounding the corner”; “it will all magically go away soon.”

Norman Vincent Peale

Yin-Yang

Plan with no plan,

The closest thing he’s come to Zen,

 

On not managing a global pandemic,

His obfuscations so myriad, to reach Olympic status,

Simultaneously achieving entry in the Guinness Book of World Records,

And his soon-to-be unique entry in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,

 

What’s more disappointing,

Are the 73 million citizens,

After Jewish synagogue shootings,

That after attempted Muslim banning,

After El Paso, Walmart massacres,

After ripping children from parents fleeing violence,

From “Birth of a Nation” to “The Apprentice,” it is as Woodrow Wilson said, “history written with lightning,”

After 250,000 dead Americans:

Do they want MORE of this?
