Excellent
Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted
If the wrong man is elected our democracy is doomed.

Profoundly Scared

by HarryT

 
I am profoundly scared; I can't shake the constant worry
Two superannuated men running for president
One, an honest man, having articulation problems
Other a criminal, rapist and serial liar

A choice that is so fearful that sleepless nights are many
But if given thought, the choice is really quite simple
A convicted felon as president should never be
Our country made that mistake before and we had chaos

Constant heartache that so many have joined Trump's evil cult
I know I must fight and stand firm despite my growing fright
Our country must say no to a king and autocracy
Outcome made by six bias members of the Supreme Court

I am so scared that autocrats will ruin our country
Made abundantly clear by Project 2025
The scheme to destroy all that the Founding Fathers held dear
I will not sleep well until our Constitution is safe
