The Trump Minutes’
Hate
“A hideous ecstasy of fear and vindictiveness…”
-Orwell, 1984
In an ordinary conversation among men
Let someone mention the name of that man
And all his servile obedientiaries
Will ‘change good fellowship for slogans and sneers
Bitter, with neither dialectic nor discourse
Nor sources beyond the Q and other old men
They then attack even those who agree with them
For under the Red Flag there is no trust
Each chants with each as comrade and brother
But in truth they don’t even like each other
