A Washington Post columnist
Has drawn an interesting parallel
Senator Joe McCarthy
Of the 1950s Red Scare
And the Orange Hoax
Of today’s anti-democratic fair
Both being demagogues
Who captured the Republican base
Both relying on lies
To gain and hold their place
Much of the Republican base
Is a rebellious clan
But sometimes it slides into worshipping
A tough-talking orangutan
