Double whammy explodes soul-sucking GOP deal with devil Don

Caught by gangland-style squeeze play,/ Damned if they do, damned if they betray.

Trapped party hacks, like now estranged MAGA gulls, paying big-time for no-win, no-divorce, no escape

Betrayed voters only half the marks
As devil Don’s snares bewitch upstarts;
The double-crossed who swapped their soul
Stifle careers trapped by Trump’s black hole. 

Behold the predator’s double-edge sword 
Wielded by one crazed, wayward warlord;
The locked-in patsies, grist for his mill,
Now besieged, awash in MAGA swill.

Connivers cooking up what’s real, 
Are sitting ducks for the Big Steal; 
Yet hardcore folly must toe the line, 
Or face the wrath of Frankenstein.

What a delightful double whammy! 
Dissent outrages MAGA vigilantes,
Yet bowing to the hated lame duck
Cements one as electoral schmuck. 

How can servile, boxed in Rethugs 
Divorce the imploding king of slugs?
Beware the tantalizing deathtrap,
That smites “losers” shouting MAGA crap. 

Even players who sense the bushwhack
Are defenseless against the blowback.
Caught by gangland-style squeeze play,
Damned if they do, damned if they betray,

Thus one gets dumped for dumping Trump—
Or voters dump you as MAGA chump.
Hobson’s choice, your money or your life,
And one prize: when to get the knife.

Thanks to Trump’s infected kiss of death,
Corpses will mount from this shibboleth.
How many write off Dem takeover— 
Or finally learn when not to bend over?

Thus jailed, no hocus pocus way out—
The payback exiles one’s voice and clout;
If MAGA gets crushed at midterm time,
No better punishment fits the crime.
