"advancing in a new direction"

Now, Cuba honors private property;
incentives still move humans when we act.
While Trump wants a Command Economy,
contemptuous of History, and facts.
Dictating what a Kansan gets for oats,
or what a lobsterman in Maine should earn,
indebting us to banks to buy Red votes
and there's no nobler purpose to discern.
The latest flailings from the orange dolt
two centuries of progress in reverse
until Republicans join the revolt
our children's prospects fade from bad to worse.
Undoing what Enlightenment's best made
our decadent republic's retrograde.
