I think sometimes, some people still think we’re working with people who you can negotiate with. And what was proven under President Obama’s time is that he gave them a lot of concessions to get the Affordable Care Act passed, and they still voted against it. And a lot of the concessions were things that helped create the problems we have now.
— Rev. William Barber
They ripped the bowels out and expect
Democracy to survive?
The viscera completely wrecked,
Disaster must arrive.
Substantial portion of the men
We class as citizens,
Our peers, proposed a regimen
And were not “on the fence”:
They voted, strictly, for to harm,
To hurt, and, partisan,
They bought quick cash but sold the farm,
And cheating drove the plan.
Lord, I have understood how base
Humanity can be,
Yet even as it shows its face
Some new features I see:
It will be well, if mankind fails,
For truth but must condemn,
And humankind, upon the rails,
Has had its Requiem.
I did my part; yet what I wrote
May not resurgence augur:
Let mankind rest, its lies found out,
In death by pettifogger.
