A nation of grifters.
That now seems right.
And the right has taken
grifting to a new level,
right in our sight.
Trump bibles, watches and hats
to grift cash for legal defense.
Elon Musk funds the cache
with his own which once
was our own, using what our
tax dollars created as his own.
Grifters come in all moneyed sizes.
But, the fine print on their offers
is too small to easily read,
hiding their grifting and greed.
Starlink for free to victims
of hurricanes Milton and Helene.
Except it is not free.
And if Musk and Trump succeed.
None of us will be free.
After one month, we will owe
Musk three-hundred forty-nine plus
dollars and service fees.
Backlash forced him to extend
the grift until the end
of the year 2024.
when victims will be left
holding the bag and more.
And so grifters appear to be
enlightened and generous and we
their sycophantic beneficiaries,
until it is too late
to shut the fascist gate
being constructed right under our nose.
Grifting away democracy is not new.
It has happened to others before,
but now, for us, it is way too close.
The grifters have united
and now so must we.
Vote!
