The Battle Hymn of the Republic
For the record:
aka "Glory Hallelujah" the song links the Union with God's vengeance at the Day of Judgment (through allusions to biblical passages such as Isaiah 63:1–6, Revelation 19 and Revelation 14:14–19). [via wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_Hymn_of_the_Republic?wprov=sfti1#]

This is disgraceful. An inauguration speech attacking the outgoing president & administration. It’s really hard to watch.
#Trump repeated his claim, made countless times during the 2024 campaign, “many from prisons & mental institutions” had illegally entered the country through the southern border. He has offered no evidence for this.
(I still think he doesn’t understand the meaning of “asylum seekers” he thinks they are people from insane asylums)
With his opening lines that “we will not allow ourselves to be taken advantage of any longer,” #Trump plunges into a list of #grievances, describing America as a nation willing to spend “in the defense of foreign borders” — read: #Ukraine — “but refuses to defend American borders.”
This is a redux of his 2017 “American Carnage” address: He describes America as a catastrophic mess of crime & chaos.
He speaks of “annihilation” & disparages the current government — w/ #Biden sitting nearby.
@Nonilex Well right, because a lot of the population actually feels that way. They elected him because he was echoing what they were feeling.
And yes, the current government deserves to be disparaged because it's really screwed up. Not that Trump is going to do any better, but this is a reflection of how people actually feel about the government.
