“Speaker of the House Mike Johnson defended labeling [last] weekend’s ‘No Kings’ rallies
opposing President Donald Trump as ‘hate America’ rallies, arguing that he was not referring
to Democrats themselves but the message of the protesters.”
—ABC

I can’t forget the grandmas’ hateful chanting
About how they prefer democracy;
The teachers who kept up their hateful ranting
Re making every student safe and free;
The moms and dads who hatefully hugged babies
And sang with friends and cried a little too;
But worst: a wiener dog (did it have rabies?)
Dressed up in hateful red and white and blue.
