How To Stage a Slo-Mo Coup

 HOW TO STAGE A SLO-MO COUP

It may take a while,

            But it can be done.

First you tell the people

            You fight for their freedom.

Then you tell them:

The government is the problem.

            It is a deep blue state

That only cares about unworthy others,

            Not deserving people like them.

It only takes their money,

            And oppresses them.

So, we have to downsize it.

            We have to dismantle it.

We have to privatize it

            And return its power

To the People. Deserving people like them.

            Then you can:

Defund the schools

            And create private schools.

Defund the police

            And create private police.

Close the prisons

            And build private prisons.

Sell off the public lands

            And give them to corporations.

Tell the people they don't need

            A nanny government over them.

Tell the people they need

            An ownership society

Where they control their own money,

            So they don't need Social Security.

They need control over their health care,

            So they don't need Medicare.

They need freedom on the job,

            So they don't need bossy unions.

They need freedom from woke judges

            So we will ignore their decisions.

They need relief from woke influencers,

            So we will censor those ranters.

They need freedom from taxes,

            So we will abolish the IRS.

We will get all the money we need

            From tariffs on other countries,

Making those foreigners pay our bills.

            Tell the people we do all this

Because only we care about them, 

            And to make America great again.

                        **********

And if you keep doing this

            Year after year,

The sheeple will believe you,

            And won't question you

When you send your children to

            Expensive private schools;

Protect your gated mansions with

            Private security guards;

Own all the public lands;

            Can afford the best health care;

Can buy complicit judges and flunky politicians;

            And send the sheeple

To your private prisons should they dare protest.

                        **********

And that's how you stage a slo-mo coup.
