First, with vicious rhetoric
And hateful appetites,
They came after trans people
And took away their rights.
Then they came after many folks
Who didn't support "the man,"
But still worked hard for the government.
They were given the can.
With a heartless lack of compassion
And racist talk to boot,
They then came after immigrants, whom
They still persecute.
After that it was liberals,
Whom they love to condemn,
And who have curiously become
The devil incarnate to them.
Then, protesters became
The targets of their abuse.
They will even shoot them dead
And make up a flimsy excuse.
The president's opponents were then
Singled out for attacks
And frivolous investigations
By Trump's political hacks.
Now our journalists are being
Arrested: the evolution
Of steps the president is taking
To stomp on the Constitution.
We can see what happens when tyrants
Rule with an iron fist.
Everyone should be wondering
Who'll be next on their list.
