In the 1930’s, the quote, “When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross” was attributed to Sinclair Lewis but he didn’t write it.
Today, the author of that quote still remains unknown.
But many authors have modified the quote and made it their own.
So I decided to take a poetic swing at it.
When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in holy cloth around a blonde bimbo’s butt
A derriere as white as cream or fresh fallen snow
Captured by a holy cloth miniskirt
Leaving little to the imagination
But upon closer examination, the cheeks are tattooed:
This White Butt Belongs to
The Christian Nationalist Party
When fascism comes to America it will appear as a redhead wearing a red, white and blue tie dye bandana, Daisy Dukes, a blue cotton gingham blouse and a belly button ring.
A redhead owning a Pepsodent smile
And two fraktur-fonted tattoos:
Trump
Won
The bandana almost completely covers the ginger’s forehead
but around its edges you can see fading bruises from the night before
The knotted blouse exposes her white bra and a pierced innie
And her thread-bare short shorts embroidered with 6 small yellow stars.
When fascism comes to America it will be dressed as a brunette, wearing MAGA hat and waving a Bible
A brunette behind the wheel of her truck, as the traffic signal switches from yellow to red
The brunette floors her F-150 causing two large flags hanging off of the truck’s rear end to stand at attention
Confederate
Old Glory
Her Ford bares a red, white and blue bumper sticker reading:
Convert or Leave
When fascism comes to America it will be as easy to see
On their bumper stickers, hats, flags and asses

24. We have achieved diversity in a US political party. We now have a Republican political party composed of a diverse collection of corrupt wackos, crackpots, yahoo’s, the intellectually challenge, the morally corrupt, racists, white supremacists, neo-nazis, antisemites, and any other scum of the earth you can find.
It has been more than 18 months since Trump has left the WH, but the stench of his corruption remains as potent as ever. And Republicans pledge their allegiance neither to flag nor country, but to a man who pathologically cares only about himself.
The Republican (GQP) party of inrellectually disgusting people is led by a man who represents the greatest threat to democracy in our history.

Mort…Fantastic! Absolutely perfect. I’ll tell you, here in Interlachen at my hideout, that sign “This is ULTRA-MAGA country!” as I head for my place, billboards that scream “ Your Hometown Christian Radio Station “ and then the call letters, the guy running for Superintendent of Public Schools of Putnam County promoting himself on signs as “Christian, Conservative, Republican”, “Let’s Go Brandon” bumper stickers on trucks, “Trump Won” signs, on and on. I keep quiet around here because every 10 year old has a gun. God help us.
