America First

A Nazi rally like we haven't seen
since father Coughlin damned the"Hebrew race"
now broadcast planet-wide by Trump's machine,
appalling even some within his base.
To Vance, Trump seemed a "Hitler" of our own
seductive to uneducated proles.
But Thiel commanded that he change that tone;
such followers are easily controlled.
In Florida, Republicans taste dread
Hispanic voters find his hatefest crass.
In districts that are less than beetroot red,
down-ballot brace to take it in the ass.
Trump's insecurities on bold display
increasingly, drive ethnic votes away.

fucking monster

Ann Coulter took a swipe at Tim's boy, Gus
and parents Right and Left took the affront.
"If you come after him, you'll come through us
we're Legion, and you're just one soul-less cunt."
Her tweet's deleted, easy to disown
Trump doesn't have to signal he agrees.
He'll hang Ann out to dry, like she's alone
last time he lay with her, just got him fleas.
Eight years ago, some dreamt the orange clown
could run without the need to beg for cash.
But they're disgusted with his punching down
and won't renew their pledge to such white trash.
It's time that all real patriots align;
democracy itself is on the line.

Goebbels jr

The Nazi cell that fulminates at Duke
set Stephen Miller's inner demons free.
Ideas to make a maggot gag, and puke
he advocates as racist policy.
The march his Führer planned for Charlottesville
raged on, while impotently cops stood by
'though Spencer's too effete--himself--to kill,
the plan was always: someone's gotta die.
Trump's aegis still enfolds this loathesome geek
diverting prosecutors from his scent
himself a party to this fascist clique
a "palace coup" sprung by a president.
Rank nativists who'd bar the Golden Gate
mistake FreeSpeech for license to preach Hate.

blood season

Appealing to the basest racist base,
his patron Putin comments on the news
not to imply Trump didn't win the race
but--if there's meddling--blame it on the Jews.
Election year in Russia's turning black
corruption long ago dimmed what was Red
what dissidents his GreenMen haven't whacked
keep finding novel ways to wind up dead.
Twin autocrats, straight out of Orwell's text
fuel old conspiracies of the Far Right.
It takes  no genius to divine what's next;
they'll blame their crimes on someone who can't fight.
Those who have eyes, see where he's coming from
with Easter, come new calls for a pogrom.

setting the low tone

The neoNazis marched in Charlottesville
not Whitefish, where they'd just made empty noise
Their packmates were emboldened to the kill
who, each alone, are pewling frightened boys.
The local cops demurred to do their job
and shut their eyes in studied innocence
complicit with the scum who formed the mob.
Let others leave their 'prints on violence.
The Trumpanzeees with tiki torches strut,
rhetorically inflated by their man.
As intellects, they'd never made the cut
but bars are lower in the Ku Klux Klan.
Six months! Trump's minions set a record low
regressing to the dark years of JimCrow.

qui bono?

Steve Bannon's on the loose, mad dog unchained
his reign as shadow-president's been burst;
a private citizen, he's unconstrained
now back at Breitbart, eager for the worst.
Religious conflict's always on his lips
as if we hadn't seen this film before.
He means to profit from apocalypse;
there're fortunes to be made inciting war.
Inside, or out, still Mercer pulls his strings,
corrupting policy to serve his own.
The man in shadows nominating kings,
Rasputin revenant behind the throne.
Yet Trump's oblivious, a preening boy
who can't see he's been made the Nazis' toy.

brotherhood of hate

"close ranks!" Jeb bleats "we've got to back Ted Cruz!"
if Trump is not to hold us by the throat
that orange ape could find a way to lose
to Hillary if put to a fair vote
contested Senate seats could fall away
and Mitch could lose the chair he holds so dear
when states we thought were "safe" go back in play
if our slate's headed by this derriere
the lesser of two evils must be Ted
who's deferential to our donor class
to make this realtor our party's head
would be to show our over-lords our ass
he's not so bad (if you ignore his lies)
at least we all agree whom we despise   

democide

Yigal Amir shot Rabin in the back
embarrassingly easy deed to do
Israelis weren't braced for this attack
his guards watched for an Arab, not a Jew
Palmach's own son, respected more than loved
he lacked a politician's verbal grease
the warrior become reluctant dove
to leave his grandchildren a world at peace
mis-handled backlash squandered sympathy
the program left to Peres stalled and sunk
Likud won votes for more security
and Labour lost what should have been slamdunk
two bullets slammed into the Jewish State
incited by yeshivot teaching hate

Cruz's game

Ted Cruz casts veiled aspersions on the Jews
attributing Trump's rancor to "New York"
as if it's somehow sinister to choose
a hotdog made of beef and not of pork
at frequencies that only some can hear
he lashes followers into a rage
by fanning politics of hate and fear
his tantrums make George W. look sage
dog-whistle rhetoric plays to his base
but make no tort that one could prosecute
he never quite attacks one's faith or race
but those with ears to hear perceive his roots
a Cuban scoring points on immigrants
is making bank on public ignorance
