Following the D.T. Playbook

Some Republicans recently

Have managed to drop to a brand-new low.

People are seriously wondering

How much lower they can go.

 

Following the Donald Trump playbook

On how to degrade our institutions,

And listening to conspiracy theories,

They have come up with some shameful solutions.

 

A Fox News maniac,

Sean Hannity, stirs the pot.

If he can find a way to discredit

The FBI, he'll give it a shot.

 

Claiming that politics infects

Mueller's investigative team,

Hannity and friends are trying

To stop Mueller. What a scheme!

 

If Republicans create

Doubts in people, then by and by,

People won't trust any findings

Shared by the FBI.

 

Trump and some of his supporters,

By disrespecting the rule of law,

Put our freedoms in jeopardy

With their alt-right blah, blah, blah.

 

Rules, conscience, fairness, honesty,

And decency all go astray,

For these things don't matter to them

When obstacles are in their way.

 

Lamenting as institutions erode,

We watch an ever-growing kleptocracy

Spread its vile control, which threatens

The integrity of our democracy.
