At the Conservative Political Action Committee,
it wasn’t about Country or the people’s needs.
More about the grievances of a Party.
Openly admitting that they are going with the big lie
As their strategy for their Party to survive and thrive.
Not into doing the hard work that’s needed to win over votes.
Instead to use fear and despair as a way to control.
When you listen it would seem that the pandemic
and the insurrection never happened.
A venue where truth and integrity were lacking.
Trump didn’t lose the election, it was stolen.
A lie that continues to breed division, distrust and anger.
Which they allow to grow and spread like cancer.
They spoke against Ivy League, Country Clubs and Washington Elites.
The same who were in attendance and have been in the lead.
They who gave tax cuts to the rich, and opposed the Covid-Relief bill.
Standing with the likes of men like Ted Cruz.
Whose first instinct was to flee to the Ritz Carlton in Cancun.
While his State faced a crisis, he was aiming for the finest.
Trump bragged that he owns the Republican Party.
And they treated him like he was their trophy.
Bowing to him – He is their specimen of leadership.
And he was there with a golden idol for worshipping.
What is the political view, when the crowd is chanting “We love you”?
Still labeling themselves Conservatives and Republicans.
They have been the aggressors.
Void of solutions and preventative measures.
They are now for anti-democratic and in support of violent attacks.
Against liberals, enemies, others who refuse to follow in their tracks.
They’ve been engaging in this revolution for some time.
Their voters turning a blind eye.
Allowing them to strengthen as they get more brass and bold.
Now insurgents and domestic terrorists are alive and well in their fold.
Did they discuss the more than half a million dead?
The domestic or foreign terror threats?
What was on their agenda?
Only culture wars and propaganda.
Cancel culture –now their buzz words.
Being said everywhere as much as they could.
Even when it doesn’t make sense.
They pull it out of thin air.
So much focus on cancel culture.
Nothing about policies for now or the future.
Often when mentioned, there is a turn to the Left.
While they are the ones canceling even among themselves.
Those who speak the truth or don’t totally bow to Trump
Are the ones they choose to cancel out.
Even Trump had his canceling wish.
Which he made into his hit list.
The guest of honor was Trump.
It’s him they revere and to him they look up.
He openly solicited for all funding to go to him.
He who holds the purse has control of the strings.
The power to tighten and loosen it.
The man who lacks integrity.
And does not reciprocate loyalty.
Corrupt and scandal can be his middle names.
But he is skilled at the re-branding game.
He can sell bleach to the people following him.
As a cure for a virus he tells them doesn’t exist.
From what they had to say,
They aim to stay in the space of misinformation and hate.
While Biden is trying to turn the page.
A new chapter – showing compassion in the face of disaster.
Trying to pass policies that would put the economy back on its feet.
Taking action as government should.
Republicans messaging that he’s up to no good.
Some say these are stupid tactics.
That Americans won’t fall for it.
But many continue to do as these leaders will them to.
Even though the leaders live by different rules and circumstance.
And they don’t suffer the same consequences as the ordinary man.
Themselves elites, trashing the establishment and high society.
Laughing at country-clubbers, as if they were something other.
Separating themselves from Washington DC.
Trying to pass themselves as ordinary.
But as their lives go, they are nowhere near their constituents’ payroll.
They live in a privileged world.
Now in the image and likeness of Trump.
The Republican leaders and the Party steer to get what they want.
Time and time again they’ve not been for the benefit of citizens.
But they are what the citizens continue to choose.
Trump and Republicans inherit riches and reign.
Though they are not for wise investing.
Swindling money from those who have less.
Selling them solutions that work against their interests.
This has been consistent under Republican rule.
Some voters are willingly in, while others are taken in as fools.
But at CPAC, they came out.
Clarifying who they are and what they’re about.
No confusion about membership and definitions.
Solidifying their relationship with disinformation.
So if you decide to remain –
You’re declaring yourself as same.
At the very least, you’re a willing participant in their game.
They have been deceptive and deceitful.
But there has been clarity with their ways.
And consistency with the paths they deliberately take.
No more pretend,
If you don’t separate or condemn –
Then you’ve declared yourself to be one of them.
