Their True Colors

Their True Colors

A Poem by Bob B

We saw from many Republicans

Their true colors yesterday

With their blind allegiance to

Donald Trump on full display.

 

While we paused to remember the horrors

Of January 6 last year,

We saw Republican lawmakers

Kowtowing to their puppeteer.

 

Aligned with white nationalists

And thugs, the Party's come to be

Unrecognizable

From the former GOP.

 

While members of Congress met to reflect

On what had happened a year ago,

Republicans--except for Liz Cheney--

Unsurprisingly failed to show.

 

Republicans in Missouri had

A fundraiser--one whereby

They celebrated the insurrection

And pushed Trump's election lie.

 

In interviews, two notorious

Trump sycophants mentioned their pride

In what the violent mobs had done.

Violence being sanctified?

 

Amplified by hostile foreign

Powers, many lies keep spreading.

With truth constantly under attack,

It's scary to think where the nation is heading.

 

How can lawmakers cater to Trump

And still maintain any self-respect?

Furthermore, without a backbone,

How can they even stand erect?

One of the news outlets did a breakdown of those in the insurrection at the capital and found almost all where upper middle class self employed Caucasian Christians. How shameful that these people had no problem associating themselves hand in hand with white nationalists and anti Semitic idiots. Says a lot about religion in this country during these dark times.
