Left-wing Moon Bats vs. Right-wing Wingnuts

In our current political climate
There is a widespread hatred
Between two wings of the political spectrum
the left wings, and the right-wings
Of the disunited States of America.

To the left wing, the right-wing
are dismissed as wingnuts
who are authoritarian, bigoted, Christian nationalists
Homophobic, fascist, neo-Nazi White supremacists
Who wants to usher in a Christian Taliban
White dominated Neo-fascist theocratic state
As commanded by their God to seize
Control of the seven mountains.


To the right wing, the left-wing
Are dismissed as evil moonbats
Who are anti-American demonic, evildoers
Who hate the Bible, Christianity, guns,
The U.S. and traditional values.
Want open borders to replace hard-working
Forgotten, normal, patriotic Americans
And who is pushing
A sinister secret gay agenda
To destroy the foundations of America
All helped by the deep state-controlled
By globalists financed by George Soros
And other sinister forces,

There are only a few things
They agree on
The US is going down
The wrong path
Is on the path to decline
Perhaps it is time
For a great divorce
Civil war 2.0
Red and Blue states
Going their separate ways.

Sadly neither side cares
About the majority of Americans
Who are not left-wing or right-wing
And just want politicians
To do their job
Solving the nations’ problems
Instead of playing endless games.
