Thugpublicans

family values, the moral majority, and the rest of that hypochristian bullshit

By Harper LewisPublished 23 days ago 1 min read
Oh, the privilege

They’ll raid your house, abduct your neighbors,

fault you for not being cruelly Christian,

firebomb a judge who has a moral compass.

The rapists on the highest court in the land want you to believe

Devil’s Triangle

is an innocent teenage drinking game.

You should thank your lucky stars

that your daughter had the privilege

of being raped by a rich white man.

I'm a weirdo nerd who’s extremely subversive. I like rocks, incense, and all kinds of witchy stuff. Intrusive rhyme bothers me.

I’m known as Dena Brown to the revenuers and pollsters.
