We’re going to have our first

felon president.

(and fuck you, autocorrect.

I’m not capitalizing

that word

when we’re talking about him.)

We’re going to have our first felon president

but only because he’s white

and rich.

No black man convicted of a crime

will have a chance at that office

for at least a hundred years.

We’re going to have our first felon president

before our first female President.

We’re going to have our first felon president

before our first gay or lesbian President,

before our first trans President,

way before our first Native American President

(because what wisdom could the original

keepers of this land

possibly have to share, right?).

Thirty four convictions (so far).

No one in their right mind

would endorse a candidate

with thirty-four convictions.

the republican party

is not in its right mind.

It is addicted to power

and to imposing the will

and the myopic “morality”

of the few

on the bodies of the many.

Didn’t we leave Europe to escape

this exact type of tyranny?

Why do people who lied

in their confirmation hearings

get to keep their seat on the “supreme” court?

When did freedom of religion become

freedom for christians only?

When did Jesus become a wealthy, white,

racist nationalist,

more a child of Satan

than the son of God?

Why do churches all over this nation

endorse a candidate

so obviously devoid of Jesus’s love?

Not because he worships their god.

(He doesn’t).

Not because he is Christ-like.

(He isn’t.)

But because he hates the same people they hate.

(Jesus never said to hate anyone.)

These christians in name only

think they are going to bring Heaven to earth.

Instead, they are creating a Hell for all of us.

(And I hope they are the first to burn

in its hateful flames.)

We’re going to have our first felon president.

And probably several more as well.

But don’t worry, America.

They’ll make that illegal

before any person of color

gets close to

holding that office

again.

We wouldn’t want any “real” criminals

in the white House.

We’re going to have our fist felon president,

our last president ever,

and our first dictator

and self-appointed emperor

all in one.

We’re going to have our first

LGBTQ+ holocaust.

(Gotta kill off all those pesky queer children,

you know.)

We may well have our second civil war,

our second revolution,

even our

third world war.

But no matter who wins,

America has already lost.
