Mumble a mantra about flags.
Anyone can do this, and it need not
be done well. Is better when it isn’t.
We stand for everyman. Repeat.

Experts are our enemy, so part
of the elite. When they mock,
you must drive wedges, fuel resentment.
We stand for everyman. Repeat.

Learn to play the innocent
dog-whistle as necessary.
Mumble a mantra about flags.
We stand for everyman. Repeat.
drip drip drip
Shout your mantra. Point to
the flag. Those who oppose
are traitors, simple as.
We will not stand for them. Repeat.

Anger. Ignorance. Mantra.
Enemies. Resentment. Flag.
Foreigner. Scapegoat. Blood.
We never stood for them. Defeat.
