With our entire political system in a state of higgelty-piggelty, our social structure collapsing, and the continuation of bizarre labor relations issues in my workplace, I feel the only option (**sarcasm alert**) is to turn to the power of poetry.
My Brit friends tell me
Trump’s a synonym for “fart.”
Poetic justice.
***
Cruz’s smarmy words
Denote true misanthropy.
The message is hate.
***
Rubio’s sweet face
Masks a lot of ugly crap.
Don’t fall for it, friends.
***
Don’t try to pretend
That privilege isn’t a thing.
Cuz it rules the world.
***
Scalia is gone.
Tell the truth: He hurt our world.
That’s the bottom line.
***
I’ve never been black,
Muslim, Latino, or gay.
Cannot speak for them.
But empathy helps;
Step into another’s shoes
And work on caring.
***
Rotten leadership
Makes the dominoes fall down.
Good teams can fix that.

Trump is indeed a British word for fart. Do you have any candidates that’s aren’t a sign of the apocalypse?
Ours aren’t much better tbh.
I wish to live in a yurt away from all this maddness. But it needs WiFi.

To be honest, all but one of the Republican candidates is absolutely abhorrent. And the one who’s not an ass backs policies I totally despise, even though he’s an intelligent and mature human being. But both of the Democratic candidates are excellent choices – with true concern for the mainstream instead of the rich and privileged, and with definite plans for how to overcome the crap that we face. Of course, I’m a rabid left-wing liberal, so perhaps my opinion is too biased. But even middle of the road and right-wing pundits are remarking on the enormous difference in maturity and intelligence in the Democratic candidates v. the Republican candidates.

Thanks. It’s not easy to distill that much Republican bullshit into just a few syllables.
