Scared

Basing policy on fear’s not a great way to win
But Georgia Republicans don’t know how else to begin
To gain enough votes to maintain their minority power
Unless they pass restrictive laws behind which they can cower
And so to gerrymandering and mail-in vote delay
They’re adding vote suppression laws based on fear all the way.

As goes Georgia so also goes all other once red states

That are now growing less red at increased alarming rates

Purple may be kingly but does also indicate

That GOP chances to win in purple states ain’t great

And with the trend continuing just deep red states will be

The last able to maintain their red state’s majority.

So poor empurpled Georgia is the state leading the way

Away from what democracy down there once held some sway

With Florida and Texas also in the conga line

That’s dancing away from fair voting one state at a time

With every state Republican Party also prepared

To enact vote restriction laws because they’re all so ‘scared’.
