In the Day of President Trump, What a Field Day for the Heathen

   Back in the glory years of rock n' roll, Buffalo Springfield offered some political advice:
    Stop! Hey! What's that sound!
    Everybody look what's going down.
    What a field day for the heathen 
    (note: "heat," I believe is the word in the song, but I'll substitute "heathen.")
    A thousand people in the street
    Singing songs and carrying signs
    Mostly say, Hooray for our side.
    Fifty years later, a president named Trump comes along. And, it isn't long before the two sides are divided -- the pro-Trumpers and the anti-Trumpers -- carrying signs, saying, "Hooray for our side."
Who cares about justice. It's all about backing your side; That's all.
    What a field day for the heathen. Yes, what a field day for the heathen.
     Stop! Hey! What's that sound!
     Everybody look what's going down.
