(sorry, this is at best in draft form. some is third person, some first, without warning. Forgive me my verbical sins, and assume I meant what you hope I meant.)
It’s astonishing to witness;
It’s remarkable to see;
But the world of Trump supporters
Is a scary place for me.
It’s a world in which reality
Is not seen on the news—
No, reality’s constructed
To support a bigot’s views
Dancing Muslims in New Jersey
As the towers burned and fell—
Though no network can confirm this
It’s the truth that Trump will tell
Trump is honest; Trump is truthful;
Trump is rich, and can’t be bought—
Trump’s the only POTUS hopeful
Who will say the things he ought!
Though the networks are united
In proclaiming “Donald lies!”
They’re conspiring against him,
So it’s really no surprise
Even well-respected leaders
When they say that Trump is wrong
Are a part of the conspiracy,
And have to play along
So, Republican officials
Are reduced to spineless shills,
Or, at best, reluctant lackeys
Who complain against their wills
It’s a special sort of someone
Who can look behind the screen—
See the truth about the Donald
What the numbers really mean
He’s our hero and our savior
And he’s got a tale to tell
The Republican establishment
Can all just go to Hell
Don’t you tell me he’s a liar—
He’ll be president next year!
Cos he says the things that others won’t,
But which we long to hear—
Like, Obama is a Muslim
And he wants to take our guns
He’s got bad religious motives;
We’ve got perfect Christian ones.
Yup, Barack Hussein Obama
Wants to see Sharia laws;
Trump would post the Ten Commandments
Which is not the same. Because.
Yes, Trump used to be a liberal;
Yes, he used to be pro-choice—
But today, the multi-billionaire
Gives little folks his voice!
And he says the things the others won’t;
The things I want to hear!
I’m not bad—no, I’m the victim!
Donald makes it crystal clear!
It’s a world in which reality
Is not seen on the news—
No, reality’s constructed
To support a bigot’s views
It’s astonishing to witness;
It’s remarkable to see;
But the world of Trump supporters
Is a scary place for me.
My Goodness!
Today’s verse was inspired by a whole fucketonne of Trump supporters in New Hampshire. And in case there are any weasels here hoping to accuse me of cherry-picking, I am being entirely over-generous in linking to these … people… instead of simply applying the labels they have earned. I mean… the *enthusiastic* woman is not just a fan of Trump–she is a member of the New Hampshire House of Representatives! In New Hampshire, though, you only need about twelve supporters to get you voted into one of the largest representative bodies in the world. If there is a constituency of idiots, they will have representation in New Hampshire.
The good news is, most of New Hampshire is embarrassed by these people. The bad news is, these people are far more likely to vote than are the rest of the people in New Hampshire.
Seriously…if you have not, yet, then REGISTER TO VOTE!. And then, y’know, actually vote, when it comes time.
Wow! Your rough drafts should get higher marks
Than other writers’ polished snarks.
The Cuttlefish trumps every phony
And shows that Donald is baloney.
These testimonials were staged
As propaganda smugly waged.
Bah, humbug…
Spot on Cuttlefish.
New Hampshire? Isn’t that the place that screwed over all of US economy by electing Sen. Brown which allowed a Republican minority to obstruct any economic moves by Obama?
Yeah, I doubt that most of NH is embarrassed by them. Some certainly, but most?
Last time NH elected a Senator Brown was in 1932, and he was a democrat. If you mean Scott Brown, I think that was MA.
And remember, although Trump is leading in NH, he does not have a majority, even of republicans. He has the distinction of simultaneously being the most popular and most unpopular of the candidates.

How awkward. You’re right, of course, I was thrown off by him moving back to NH for the 2014 senatorial bid.
I guess I need to give NH some slack…
I am registered to vote but what does that have to do with Trumpworld? I don’t live there.
Please please please please please.

You can do anything to me but PLEASE don’t throw me in the briar patch, Br’er Bear!
