Attempted Coup

Look at the ways--the despicable ways--

That Trump tried to achieve his coup

By pressuring officials in Georgia

With a repeated turn of the screw.

 

First, a ballot signature audit

In Cobb County. All was fine.

Next, he pressured Governor Kemp--

This time also crossing the line.

 

He wanted Kemp to do something

To which Kemp raised an objection--

To push for a legislative session

To change the results of Georgia's election.

 

That didn't work, and so Trump called

Georgia's secretary of state

To pressure him to do his bidding

In hopes that he'd step up to the plate.

 

He asked Raffensperger to "find"

Enough votes so that he could win.

Of course, Raffensperger declined.

To him, cheating would be a sin.

 

So then Trump asked the U.S. attorney

Of the state of Georgia to make false claims

Regarding election fraud, another

One of Trump's deceitful games.

 

That attempt also failed,

So Trump tried to weaponize

The DOJ to pressure Georgia

By sending a letter full of lies--

 

A letter written by Jeffrey Clark,

One of Trump's toadies and partners in crime.

Once again, Trump's efforts failed,

But people say it came close this time.

 

An election worker, Ruby Freeman,

Was the following target, for she

Was accused of election fraud--

Accused unjustifiably.

 

Both Freeman AND her daughter

Have been harassed and threatened as well.

Because they wouldn't support Trump's lie,

Their lives have become a living hell.

 

In January, Trump told his thugs

To march to the Capitol, and when

They did, utter chaos took place,

And we all know what happened then.

 

Georgia was merely one state among many.

But Trump even now continues to plot,

And even though his coup attempt failed,

The next time he tries, it might not.
