Deja Coup — the surreal realization that two years to the
day after the attempted American Insurrection, the same congressmen who were instrumental in the attack on our
democracy successfully made a bid for legitimate power on key congressional committees.
And on January 8th
2023 — two years and two days after the American Inssurection —
history rhymed when followers of Jair Bolsonaro followed the same game plan in Brazil attacking their Capitol building as Bolsonaro looked on in safety from
Florida eating chicken fajitas. He was later hospitalized for plausible deniability — the political equivalent of a mobster being at a wedding when a major “
hit” takes place.
This is the psychological equivalent of a Vietnam era combat veteran being taken deep into a swamp to watch a fireworks display.
Some attribute the world wide rise of a militant and violent
right to Steve Bannon; but, others say that he is just a highly mobile pimple on the ass of “this is how it’s always been.”
If you were a writer and submitted this as a plot for a novel; your editor would call you a
hack and tell you that your writing was heavy handed.
This is the kind of world we’ve made!
Sung to the theme of the Dione Warwick song: Deja Vu
“Deja Coup could this be a nightmare I once knew
Is it
true?
Deja coup could this be a nightmare coming
true
Are we screwed?
A two year festering coup
The alt-
right pestering you
Deja Coup”
