A is for autocracy
Absolute power for our new king
B is for bible-thumping
Which covers all egregious sins


C is for censorship
To hide the things that we don’t like
D is for dictatorship
A new name for the new Fourth Reich


E is for enemies
We’ll call you one if you’re against us
F is for fascism
Led by that ass from The Apprentice


G is for Gestapo
With ICE raids growing every hour
H is for hypocrisy 
Which we use as a show of power


I is for immigrants
A nation’s strength turned new scapegoat

A thing which we now hunt for sport


K is for kakistocracy
A government led by all the worst
L is for lock her up
An early signal of bloodthirst

Which we control and manipulate

Fueled by bigotry and hate

Who’re playing dead or at least naive
P is for propaganda
To slowly change what you believe


Q is for Q-Anon
Which whipped people into insurrection
R is for the Russian bots
Which helped to influence the election


S is for social media
Whose algorithm rewards ragebait
T is for totalitarianism
The end of our sort-of free state


U is for uniting
Which is our very last resort
V is for the victims
Who need our unfailing support


W is for we’ve got this
Cuz worse admins have been overthrown
X is for Gens X through Alpha
To kick out the Boomers with no backbone


Y is for you can do something
Protest, volunteer, or write your reps
Z is for zeitgeist
Which we can change, step by step
