May 31, Unreasonable People  (1)

 

No reasoning person believes what we say;

We just toss stuff out there to see what will play.

The average Fox viewer, on whom we rely,

Will swallow the bullshit we shovel each day.

 

The average Fox viewer, on whom we rely,

Has readily swallowed the Donald’s “Big Lie.”

Though they stormed the Capitol to “Stop the steal,”

Nobody intended that anyone die.

 

Though they stormed the Capitol to “Stop the steal,”

With only five dead, that should be no big deal.

Though we heard them shouting, “Hang Mike Pence!” with glee,

Nobody should think their intentions were real.

 

Though we heard them shouting, “Hang Mike Pence!” with glee,

Erecting a gallows that we all could see,

Nobody should think that they were murderous.

They were just upset with our democracy.

 

Nobody should think that they were murderous.

And, even worse, no one should hang that on us.

No reasoning person believes what we said.

You cannot blame us for the muss and the fuss.

 

No reasoning person believes what we said.

We all are just actors; it’s fiction we spread.

We know that our audience isn’t too swift,

To swallow the bullshit that they have been fed.

 

We know that our audience isn’t too swift,

We know they’ve all fallen for Donald Trump’s grift.

As Alex Jones, Tucker, and Sidney, raved on,

Folks would have smelled bullshit if they had just sniffed.

 

• Based on a recent article in The Daily Beast. Trump apologists and lawyers for Capitol rioters are arguing that people like Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson, Sidney Powell, etc. ad nauseam, have no responsibility for what their listeners do because, “No reasonable person would think that what they were broadcasting was true.”
