Now in the process of my posting these tunes of mine, words well worked in anger at the pained obvious, well wrought obvious, words red flagged in an attempt at a head’s up, “Do you see?” things that are my stand up I waver … I flit between serious dread and that the lesser dread that seems just kinda silly, but still dread. I mean it couldn’t be right? This is just another election with a possible reset just another four years off right? in case we get things wrong, a future time to possibly mend mistakes right?
But I know that that is not the case, this is no regular election and there are no Pollyanna thoughts of how this has always worked continuing in a still existent democratic future.
My problem with Trumpers is, though I don’t fault you your opinions, well, Ok, I do, as they ain’t mine and i could never be that easily susceptible to a con, but that they are too often misinformed, wholly misinformed and I don’t understand your need to “own” the other side like it is some sort of childish game, to grab the mantle of Orange grievance like it is your own, as if he were a guy who actually lived a life with you.
He hasn’t, never has, lived that life, he has never been that guy, nor is he heaven messiah sent as he glories to be, he IS the elite he warns you of. You spend so much time and glee on owning the other side that you miss the bigger picture. You become cult and you won’t be able to break away until it’s too late, and there will be a time where that comes.

Look What They’ve Done To Our Trump
Look what they’ve done to our Trump Ma
Look what they’ve done to our Trump
Well, fa-scism’s all he can do half right
And somehow they say that’s wrong Ma
Look what they’ve done to our Trump
.
Look what they say ‘bout his brain Ma
Like using it’s a real strain
They point out that it’s a jumbled mess
All those liars in the press Ma
Look what they’ve done to our Trump
.
He just wants a good country for whites to live in Ma
One where his subjects will all call him … King
If he can rig a vote like ’16 true
All the libs will come to rue
Just what
Just what they’ve said of our Trump
.
NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA
NA NA NA NA NA NA NA
C’mon everybody NA NA NA with me
Maybe even LA DE DA
Look what they’ve done to our Trump
.
But maybe it’ll work for the right Ma
Maybe Democracy’ll lose this fight Ma
Well his dee-sciples still buy his lies
And threatened violence well that could work out nice
Look what they’ve wrought in our Trump
.
Now this part here’s supposed to be in French Ma
But that wouldn’t be his intent Ma
Because he don’t sing of nothing but the US of A
And English speaking’s gotta be the only say
But he’s OK with fries made a French way
.
Look what they’ve done to our Trump Ma Ma Ma
They’ve turned him into such an orange grump Ma
He can’t even win a primary
Without them talking about that Haley
Look what they’ve done to our Trump
.
Hear what they say about our Trump Ma
They say the meanest things about our Trump Ma
They even have the gall to point out his lies
But never give him credit for how hard he tries
To straight face through them all of the time
.
Look what they’ve done to our Trump Ma Ma Ma
Look what they’ve done to our Trump
Well, fa-scism’s all he can do half right
And somehow they say that’s wrong Ma
But he wins this time there’ll be a new song
And a dark one
