Trumpnosis: Take Them Deep

Take them deep, take them ever so deep,
Where the faithful never wake from sleep.
Lower the ridge and sweeten the fall—
Take them deep, darling, take them all.

First dig GRIEVANCE, warm and red:
“They stole your future, your pride, your bread.”
Give every ache a villain’s face;
Make injury feel like home and place.

Then PERSECUTION, velvet-tight:
“Every charge proves you were right.”
Courts may knock and headlines scream;
Martyrs look better under steam.

Now DOMINANCE, strong and bare:
“He breaks the rules because he cares.”
Shame is weak and manners cheap;
Make cruelty flex and call it deep.

ANTI-ELITE is lace and smoke:
“Every expert is part of the joke.
”Facts arrive? Oh, let them drown;
No referee can hold you down.

IDENTITY fusion, silk and flag:
“Touch the leader, feel them drag
You, your town, your sacred past—
Defend the man and you hold fast.”

WHATABOUTISM, slow undress:
“Everyone’s guilty, more or less.”
Melt the standard, blur the stain;
Nothing is dirty after rain.

APOCALYPSE, my hottest trick:
“The end is near, so choose him quick.”
Fear makes ladders disappear;
Anything’s permitted here.

ENTERTAINMENT, drum and tease:
Outrage dances on its knees.
Scandal sparkles, conflict sells;
Keep them watching, ring the bells.

Take them deep, take them ever so deep,
Where the faithful never wake from sleep.
Lower the ridge and sweeten the fall—
Take them deep, darling, take them all.

Grievance, martyr, fighter, show;
No way out once down they go.
Build the basin, lock the door—
Leave them begging you for more.

You do not need consistency, dear.
You only need reason to fall.
Take them deep, take them ever so deep—
That’s how you dominate them all.
