The Trump Minutes' Hate - too vituperative to serve either as art or as an argument (maybe an ague-ment?)

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
