Republicans are great at asking questions in a way to draw the answers they want.
And steer the conversations only to the direction that will give them points.
Even if they have to say blatant lies, white lies or half-truths.
The end result is to entrap, so the listeners conclude
as the Republicans want them too.
They have a tendency now to split hairs.
One interpretation for others, another for theirs.
Their behaviors and what they choose always get the green light.
Similarly done by others – it’s never right.
The GOP puts up a fight.
One Party whose only setting is win.
And is in with cheating.
The other Party, restricted and boxed in.
All without rhyme or reason.
Whenever Republicans attempt to defend themselves or Trump.
They can’t help but bring up the “liberals”.
Their new curse word for Democrats.
Though not all Democrats are that.
When Republicans can’t justify or defend context.
They attack the process.
Normalizing the presence of nonsense.
Some Americans are being phased by labels and names.
Minimizing the power of doings and sayings.
Abiding by strict ideology.
Being discriminatory through policies.
No matter how it translates to real.
Not caring about content or intent.
Those who lie and deceive are now God-sent.
Those who attempt to give reprieve, Americans are to circumvent.
Bad is now game.
Good is too lame.
Ignorance and a re-write of history is now the American stand.
That props the white sheets of this new American band.
On the extreme Right, nothing they say has an effect
and words don’t matter, hurt or destroy.
On the extreme Left, each word can be an insult.
Each side has a tendency to get all bent out of shape.
But Republicans are more likely to react with a slap to the face.
On one side you’re not to step here or there.
While to the other, they are entitled, can do anything, go anywhere.
At least the Left’s aim is to be sensitive and inclusive.
While the Right translates as restrictive and exclusive.
And they become vindictive with any thought of restraint or containment.
Freedom for them, none of that for anyone else.
Their justification for inequality keeps fueling hostility.
Some use religion and the Bible to justify their inhumane behavior.
Blur the lines so they can’t recognize a patriot from a traitor.
But the label to an entity doesn’t make it what it is.
It’s what lies within.
Like the Republican Voting Integrity Bills – targeting
against certain voters being able to vote.
Although Republicans didn’t hesitate to gloat
that there was election integrity in the States they oversee.
They engaged in the processes that confirmed the original results.
Yet they still bring in one of the QAnon cult to conduct an audit.
Taking from tax-payers’ wallets.
Showing no shame as they carry out their scams and shams.
The basis of their political plans.
Now a fix to the Republican gig.
Just as they’ve thrown out morality and integrity.
They do so to all that do not show what they want seen.
Is that the new American way?
Toss the baby out with the bath water, no salvaging.
The Republican-Right accuse the Left-Liberals of canceling.
But for that, they are in the lead.
Projecting successfully.
If it comes from Democrats, Republicans want nothing to do with that.
Even for progress and to protect.
Republicans prefer to reject.
What is branded and labeled as sour under Democrat rule.
Can be re-labeled and served with a Republican spoon.
And their guests, will readily ingest and savor.
Totally enjoying the flavor.
And even when the taste of a Republican dish is horrid.
They swallow and resist the urge to vomit.
Giving a shout out, even with a distaste to their mouth.
An easy overlook, when you’re in cahoots with the cook.
Some still display Trump and Pence.
How can you expect permanence from that which lacks substance?
From those who have fickle clipped to their sides.
Lawmakers and public servants who don’t use the Constitution as their guide.
Evangelists and religious who say Jesus is the Way.
But give way to another savior, giving him a bigger say.
If Truth brings light, then Americans are and have been in the dark.
As they allow for Trump to continue making his mark.
Without true faith and hope in sight.
And if right is not for which we fight.
Then this great Nation, will become a figment of our imagination.
If we go by the “truths” we pick and choose.
And there is no showing of Love.
How can there be trust in the one up above?
Labeling becomes a way to escape.
So we don’t see the effects to our surroundings or the decay within.
We seem to forget that which is greater than ourselves and all else.
To which we should be showing reverence.
That greatness which all people should reflect.
Yet in some, we choose to reject.
The Universe has alarmed US about what there is to come.
For some, they’ve already distorted or forgotten where they came from.
There are so many signals.
When on earth will Americans pause and heed them?
