How Did We Get Here?

How did we get here
Where some accept the unfolding dictatorship?
Telling us it's for the best
And they do not joke
They do not jest

How did we get here
Where some deny a dictatorship is coming?
For Trump wouldn't do that
That's a joke, they say
Trump is not such a cat

But here we are
At what could be the end of democracy
Let the reality now sink in
You say it could never happen?
You don't know Trump and his men
