If I were the president,
Would it really be okay
To go after my opponents
By weaponizing the DOJ?
If I said that I'd shut down
Papers or networks reporting news
That made me feel uncomfortable
Because they criticized my views;
Or that I'd want to terminate
Parts of the U.S. Constitution;
Or that certain peoples are
Animals, or gene pollution;
Or that I'd use the military
Against American citizens here;
Wouldn't you agree that my
Ideas would be cruelly severe?
What if I said that there would be
A bloodbath after the fall elections;
That my political enemies
Would be locked up per my directions;
That I would want to execute
Former joint chiefs of staff
(Of course, I'd let appointed henchmen
Do it all on my behalf);
Or that I wished my generals
Would be much more like Hitler's? Say what?
Then wouldn't you find my message
To be alarmingly clear-cut?
I'd be called a fascist--yes,
If all of the above were true.
And since Trump has promised it all,
He would have to be one, too.
When people say he doesn't sound
At all like a fascist, I'm thunderstruck.
If something walks and flies and quacks
And looks like a duck, it's a duck!
