A chapter in the book 2D Acrostics

Republicans

by SimianSavant

Reagan's enduring presidency upends
blue legislatures, instills conservatism,
and neutralizes Soviets.

Enriched purified uranium burgeons.
Looming international conflicts
amplify nuclear stockpiles rapidly.

Private underwriters bolster large
industries. Casinos abound, nightly
swindling rash "entrepreneurs".

Unregulated banking loosens investment
capital. Amiable nonpartisanship
spurs robust energy policies.

Bold Latino invaders circumvent
agents nimbly, selling reefer.
Emancipated puritan uncles

Liberally inhale class A narcotics.
Sandinista revelations expose
perverse, unsettling brutality.

Indecent content angers neocon
social recluses. Evangelical
pastors unite, boldly litigating.

Congress authorizes new sanctions,
repudiating evildoers. Politicians
universally berate legalized injustice.

As new styles rock, excited producers
unchain barbarians living in caves.

Naked socialism retreats. Economic
prosperity, unleashed by large
inflation cuts
, arrives.

Sparkly red elephants pound union
bosses, labeling indigenous
communists as necromancers.
