You voted for this!

A poetic rant against the average Trump voter and the results of their voting him into power.

We warned you of Trump and the horrors that awaited in this new America,

But you brushed aside our cries, indifferent to the looming danger.

The tangerine peeled back his layers, revealing a rotten core,

Yet you drank his juice, blinded by its sweetness, unable to see the decay.

You should be beaming with pride as he takes his seat in the Capitol,

Where he now delivers capital punishment to the very immigrants who harvest your oranges.

Now you lie in the bed you made - without the helping hands once there to shape it -

As you bemoan a life diminished, with security and medicine stripped from your frail body.

A foreboding darkness descends upon the patriots who chose the orange tyrant,

Yet still, they refuse to hear the echoing truth: You voted for this.

Powerful and haunting! Your use of vivid imagery and symbolism makes this a striking critique of political consequences. The contrast between blindness and awakening adds depth, making the message hit hard. Well done! 🔥

"While it’s easy to point fingers and say, ‘You voted for this,’ we’re all in this together. The challenges we face—immigration, healthcare, security—require us to find common ground, not further division. Instead of dwelling on past choices, let’s focus on solutions that restore dignity, fairness, and opportunity for all." I'm just saying!
