“One Day More"
with apologies to Les Miz: America’s Exhaustion in Verse
All
One day more,
Just one more day of this—God, we’re tired of this shit!
Polls up and down, who’s ahead? Who’s behind?
They scream his name like we’ve all lost our mind!
We’re hanging by a thread, and it’s wearing thin,
This chaos pulls us deeper in.
Disillusioned Public
One more day to feel this stress,
Can we end this endless mess?
Every night, another fight,
Can’t take more headlines screaming red and white!
Trump Cultists
One more day to “stop the steal,”
We’re the faithful, we’re the real!
Led by Trump, our holy grail,
We’ll storm the streets, we will not fail!
Disillusioned Poll Watchers
One more day of endless numbers,
Polls confuse and churn our brains,
We’re all stuck on this crazy train.
Voters
Where’s the truth in all this noise?
It’s a circus, endless ploys,
Every claim just stokes our rage,
Can we ever turn the page?
Media
They sanitize his every line,
Bezos won’t endorse or sign,
Papers dance around his flaws,
And we’re lost inside the spin and laws.
Optimists
One last hope for something new,
One last chance to push it through,
But we know, as lines increase,
This fight for calm may never bring us peace.
All
One day more!
Trump Cultists
We’re not done ’til he declares,
Marching blind, beyond repair!
Exhausted Voters
When the counting’s done, we’ll see—
But we’re tired of this shit, let us be!
Disillusioned Public
Tomorrow feels so far away,
Will this nightmare end someday?
All
One more day. One more day. ONE DAY MORE!
Hard to believe that the champions of a "union" crafted at the Constitutional Convention the foundation for a strong central government.
Before then, each state was separate but equal to the others; the president was an unseen administrator.
Now we effectively have a coronation of a person who does have enormous power largely due to Congress ceding many of its Constitutional responsibilities to the Executive (aka the President)
This is not going to end well
