SONGS #537: Anti-Trump The demo lyrics for Michael McDermott's (@michaelmcdermott23.bsky.social) 2025 protest single "The Future" are a blunt instrument, supporting the No Kings movement with more fury than finesse. But he's right:

Here’s Trump posting the results of the German election in which the neo-Nazi AfD did well. It’s important to understand that the U.S. Republican Party is part of a global fascist movement dedicated to persecuting minorities and stealing our freedom.

ICE murdered a 26 year old father in Biddeford, Maine. It's the second ICE murder in less than a week—and just the latest in a series of attacks from Trump’s thugs. Horrific. Abolish ICE now.

Nothing to see here, just the son of the President marrying the daughter of the accountant of a notorious child sex trafficker who was best friends with the groom's father. Oh, wait, you didn't know Junior's current new wife is the daughter of Jeffrey Epstein's accountant?
