I Blame You

Dear MAGA Americans, I want to make one thing perfectly clear: you elected a crook
	I blame you

You chose a white male felon over a brown wonder woman
	I blame you

The future is not her fault. The past is not her fault
	I blame you

You said "character matters" but it’s really only for the other guys
	You hypocrites
	I blame you

Last time you whined: "But her emails" yet you voted for top secret toilet storage
	I blame you

And when the price of peanut butter beats paying off a porn star
	I blame you

But HEY! That’s OK. It’s just locker room talk

You elected a man just like	you
reflecting	you
so	you
could feel like	you were in control

	I blame you

He doesn’t pay his bills. he doesn’t live within his means
	We see you

He lies about money. He lies about sex. He begs your last dollar to fuel his private jet
	We see you

He waves your Holy Book, but the pages are now blank
	We see you

He writes the brand new gospel of the Holy Spangled Bank
	We see you

"Lord! Lord? Did we not elect a Godly man?"
	NO YOU DID NOT

You voted to give your daughters coat hangers instead of health care
	I blame you

You voted for the Soviet America, kow-towed to the Kremlin, instead of the free Ukraine
	I blame you
You chose ignorance of science and ignorance of history
	I blame you

You disobeyed your fathers and sold your sons as slaves
	We see you

You spat upon your mothers and dug your daughter’s graves
	We see you

Your imaginary friend has imaginary enemies, and he told you who to shoot
	We see you
	You thought they were real, too

If you say it enough, maybe it will be true: The Emperor’s Clothes so fine and fair
	We see you
	Ass-naked and bare

For all that is past and all that’s to come
	I BLAME YOU
