*Times of India article title
Stop saying, “we’re better than this.”
US foreign policy is a litany of coup attempts,
When we don’t like the government, their citizens are voting
for,
To quote Elon Musk, “we coup who we want!”
Stop saying, “this never happens here,”
In 1898,
Proto-fascists
Stormed the Wilmington, North Carolina Capitol,
Because: blacks were elected to a fusion government,
Killing sixty citizens,
Destroyed the black newspaper,
Overthrew the government,
In the only successful coup de tat on American soil,
Their descendant hung a noose in Greensboro,
At the Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering,
In 2017,
And on his firing at the exit interview, he excused himself,
saying, “it was a joke!”
Take this INSURRECTION supported by some Republicans,
Conservatives, Evangelicals, and White Supremacists SERIOUSLY!
Stop saying this is the culmination of four years of a proto-fascist
shock,
Think four-hundred years since 1619,
White supremacy has been American philosophy,
Since the pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock,
“So, do we not call this a white seditious mob? Do we not call
these people terrorists?
Where is the tear gas?
Why are cops only trigger-happy and baton-wielding with Black
people, and supporters of actual justice?”
I quote Danielle Moody-Mills on Twitter,
The pundit in 2016 called the situation,
Before we got to Wednesday’s attempted sedition,
That the election of a blatant fascist,
Was the “last stand of white supremacy” - its last gasp.
We’ve spent four years pussyfooting around the pussy-grabber,
Who has all but confirmed that he’s a fascist,
Eighty-one percent of white evangelicals threw Jesus down a
laundry chute and VOTED for this!
What was Dumbo Gambino going to do,
With the smoldering ruin of the republic,
If this Keystone Cop attempted, coup worked?
There would be travel bans to both American continents,
Jair Bolsonaro burning down the Amazon
Makes Brazil extremely unpopular,
Proud Boys and Neo-Nazis breached the Capitol,
A FIRST since the War of 1812,
By the British in 1814,
Don’t worry!
The Capitol Police hurriedly,
Deployed flash bombs,
Mace,
Billy clubs,
Water cannons,
Riot tanks,
Percussion grenades,
Oh, excuse me!
That’s for Black Lives Matter protests!
Or, clearing St. John’s Church and Lafayette Park,
For a bizarre, sacrilegious photo op!
But some did pause to pose for selfies,
As these seditious, treasonous bastards,
Wrecked havoc in the people’s house, paid by our taxes,
Putin and the GRU,
Are clicking champagne glasses in the Kremlin,
Their obtuse, orange-faced gremlin,
Tweeted in December: “come to the Capitol January 6. It will
be WILD!”
At noon, he spoke to the rabid rabble,
Convincing them he
Would be marching WITH them,
Did they FORGET about his convenient bone spurs excuses?
That got him out of Vietnam with five deferments,
So, after his performance,
He retired to his current residence,
At 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue,
To watch the fire he lit on television,
Because you can never say he’s industrious,
He’s the laziest piece of shit in existence,
His tweets sent from the toilet,
Or, prone in a sea of cheeseburger wrappers,
It’s why Melania stays with her parents and Baron in Maryland,
It’s why April Ryan reported a rat infestation at a press
conference,
Pre-pandemic,
It’s why the entire Executive Mansion will have to be
fumigated,
Eliminating clouds of Coronavirus,
Rat inspections by Orkin,
And pass health inspection,
Before Biden and Harris can START working in it,
Someone said that you couldn’t fight what you refuse to name.
I’m game!
These people are ghouls,
Thugs,
Seditionists,
Un-American,
Domestic terrorists,
En masse, Putin’s puppets!
Don’t make the mistake of calling them “patriots!”
Patriotic citizens
Don’t try to overturn elections,
Kill women in the Capitol rotunda,
Even though she was an insurrectionist,
Threaten elected representatives at GUNPOINT!
Or attempt to overthrow their government,
Storming state capitols across the nation,
Blackburn, Cruz, Hawley, Hyde-Smith, Johnson, Kennedy, Scott, and 147 others
are,
Political stunting as stars for another reality show in 2024,
They KNOW Dumbo Gambino will be too busy in prison for,
These people aren’t running for president,
They want to LEAD this psychotic faction,
These people aren’t republicans; they’re fascists!
If Mike Pence and what’s left of his former party wants an
electoral future,
Invoke the 25th Amendment,
Remove this cancer from our republic,
And prosecute his enablers,
And the brown shirts they manipulated for seditious treason,
Not because you FEEL like it,
But if we are going to be a “nation of laws, and NOT of men,”
So quoted from President John Adams,
I, as a citizen, am adamant,
Then, DO what The Constitution demands!
A self-pardon is selfish,
And would be legally challenged,
We have a constitutional government,
Not a parliament,
We have a president,
NOT a king,
The “rule of law.”
Not a monarchy,
Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, and others should reread our founding
documents,
Their careers, ambitions, and former party are FINISHED!
Impeachment, or 25th Amendment
Are our only viable remedies,
History will remember the courageous and the cowardly,
Who stood up for democracy,
Or, enabled complicity in this dark moment!
Remove him NOW!
