Supporting Trump Has A Cost

Social media filled with Republican friends,
Who seek less divisiveness. Make amends.
Good to see a β€œwash your hands” way to think,
But one thing that won’t wash off? Trump stink.

Trump: An Important Question

His lies and rants makes little sense.
A lack of logic that’s wildly intense.
The big question about his clown show:
If dementia hits how would we know?

CBS Has A New Shameful Name

Weiss has zero network TV experience.
She can’t inform viewers. She’s not serious.
Her rightwing, billionaire bias is a big mess.
CBS is now recognized as, β€œSee? BS!”

β€œGreatest president in American history!”

Pam Bondi made members of congress laugh.
Her comment was creepy. But it wasn’t a gaff.
In Trump’s America there must be no grievance.
Bondi showed us the new pledge of allegiance.

The Many Reasons MAGA Is Hateful

Grievance and anger is their whole identity.
β€œYou’ve been wronged” a core mentality.
Blame immigrants their racist assessment.
The MAGA world is built on resentment.

Zero-sum game is key to their views.
If someone else gains they think they lose.
Winners and losers define their mentality.
There's no concept of shared prosperity.

White christian males should be at the top.
Women, gays and minorities they must stop.
Authoritarian natural order their obsession.
Equality they see as severe oppression.

For decades they kept the quiet part quiet.
Then Trump screamed what used to be private.
He said out loud what was once distasteful.
A new permission structure to be hateful.

Fox News and Newsmax scream in their face.
A 24 hour rage machine to fire up their base.
It's the first and last thing in their day.
Media tells them what to be mad about today.

Today's economic anxiety has been weaponized.
But corporate greed hasn't been recognized.
Instead fascism explains why their miserable.
Their told to direct anger at the vulnerable.

Life is defined by a hate-filled community.
Their membership depends on zero mutiny.
Their family and town is now a hate zone.
They can't leave or risk being alone.

Fear. Propaganda. Permission to be cruel.
Their hateful leader is seen as more fuel.
Reason won't lessen their hate and spit.
Because they weren't reasoned into it.

Real Jobs Story In The Fine Print

They say we added 130k jobs in January.
But the news is what happened annually.
2025 revised from 584k to a weak 181k.
That’s a collapse no matter what they say.
