Republicans and Trump have made it okay to deviate from good.
Bad and indifferent are now acceptable.
No longer can they be shamed into changing.
They will continue their raging, draining and staging.
As long as they are gaining.
They will out-run and out-do.
No limit, no boundary to what they will choose.
The only way to stop this spread is to vote out the heads.
Only some of the low hanging fruits are being picked.
While those at the top escape loss and reap benefits.
Many now empathize with criminals and justify their crimes.
Instead of pulling them from the line, they provide them with alibies.
Not into throwing the book at them.
No accountability, no consequence.
The crooks get new looks, and at times, all out acceptance.
There is so much deceive.
That which you see is not guaranteed as that which you will get.
And by the time of the next election cycle, people forget.
Or are swept up and influenced by lies, generated anger and fear.
Anticipated doom and despair that will come should Democrats win.
Never mind what the Republicans themselves are doing.
And as Americans choose based on identity politics.
Division and discord will be a continued fixture.
A cultural, religious or political mixture of ideas will not be tolerated.
One man, one party elevated.
Only from one stance to one reach.
As they speak and to their speech.
With no path to advance you must step back or fall in line.
Accept their design.
But as some seek to stump their “enemy’s” growth.
They are likely doing the same for their own.
That’s what many don’t realize –
Some of humanity’s steps are synchronized.
So a decision to cut or let go.
Could also be a hit or miss to their flow.
And some effects have wide-spread consequence.
Initially you may escape head blows.
But that won’t be the case when the tail follows.
So as they continue to feed the beasts of hate and indecency.
Anti-civility, anti-American, anti-democracy.
They will grow so large.
There will be no escaping their charge.
Be aware – your I-don’t-care may now serve you well.
But come another term, what if your current belief doesn’t stay firm?
You may be at the opposite end of what you fed.
It’s often said that you can catch more flies with sweet.
But many humans are just being mean.
Trump recently set off on his “revenge” tour.
How is that political?
Yet many are shouting for and paying for more.
They are in for a specific type of fix.
Not the kind to repair, build, or re-build.
So they are less selective, able go with any and everything.
Sometimes the strong show is really a cover-up.
Not true signs of belief or conviction.
It’s tricks and force to ensure that others follow their course.
Likely due to their own doubts about being able to convince.
They chose a sinister following as their base.
They don’t present a solid case.
In fact, in most instances, they resort to fake.
Manipulation, using smoke screens and distractions.
A must to run as a Republican.
Some citizens don’t care about credentials.
Professional and presidential are no longer on their list of expectations.
The opposition is limited to one gear.
Stay on the straight and narrow, remain just and fair.
While a way is paved for Republicans to escape.
Payment to accountability only to some sections of our society.
That’s how they want it to be.
As long as they perceive to their benefit –
Social, political, emotional or economic.
They accept even communist leadership under the guise of capitalist.
Authoritarian has been creeping in.
Religion and politics have succumb to a cult-like invade.
Lines blurred between Church and State.
Christianity getting a boost from White Supremacy groups.
And many Christians are contrite to take that ride.
Blocking out the so-called secular and evil side.
While they engage in re-assign, re-design and re-define.
Not just for themselves but for everyone else.
White Anglo-Saxon culture, religion and politics are their green new deal.
Their ideal for American Society.
And to get that, force is enhanced, as part of their plan.
It’s a tough road as Democrats try to follow.
Playing by the rules, staying in the lanes.
While Republicans keep changing, chasing and racing.
Taking advantage, avoiding fines and taxes.
Outrunning, out-gunning law enforcement.
Republicans have more power, ammunition and equipment.
Military and law enforcement have been duped.
As Red claims they are for troops and Blue.
Already proven to not be true.
Yet loyalty remains as many still band with Red today.
Those of US who feel that Trump isn’t fit to lead.
That he should remain an anomaly.
Are wondering – do all Republican trends ring true for Republican family and friends?
How far are they willing to go?
What behaviors will they eagerly follow?
So far some have stuck with Republican, no matter what.
Regardless of say and do, Republican leaders have made the cut.
If family and friends are okay with the injustices to people –
What else would they be comfortable seeing?
When will they see fit to draw a red line?
When an actual friend or family member is denied or dies?
By that time it will be too late for safe, save or advocate.
Or maybe as followers they will be in so deep.
Victim blaming will be the only option they are able to see.
