Without a doubt the president
Wants us all to be afraid--
A tactic used by autocrats.
Come on, let's call a spade a spade.
Creating chaos within our cities,
He then sends in the military
Because he says that we're in danger
And falsely claims it's necessary.
He claims that Democrats are evil
And hate our country. Thus, he gets
His supporters to see his opponents
As terrorists and dangerous threats.
He stirs up hatred of trans people
And says that they are a danger as well.
Stirring up fear and hatred for him
Sadly has been an easy sell.
If you say you're anti-fascist,
Trumps says you deserve condemnation,
For you're a member of antifa--
A non-existent organization.
To call anti-fascism
Anti-American is absurd.
"Fascism." Would someone explain
To Trump the meaning of the word?
In the past, Republicans despised
Fascism and sounded alarms.
Now, however, they seem to be
Embracing it with open arms.
Immigrants "infect" the country
According to Trump: another way
That he continues to make his supporters
Feel anxiety and dismay.
He's encouraging his AG
To indict opponents. We are perplexed.
He wants us Americans
To cower and wonder who will be next.
He wants us to be terrified
Of criticizing him, so he
Can stifle freedom of speech and expression.
What's next? MSNBC?
So Trump and many of his supporters
Have a plan to which they adhere:
A plan to derail democracy
By using the politics of fear.
