There once was a movement called MAGA,
Whose feuds grew much hotter than magma.
At a conference grand,
They all took a stand—
And promptly began yelling “Blasphema!”

At AmericaFest on night one,
Ben Shapiro declared, “We’re not done.”
He scolded the crowd
That some voices too loud
Sell nonsense instead of good sense and a pun.

Said Ben, “There are theories run wild,
That are reckless and deeply unfiled.
With microphones bright,
We must challenge outright
The tales that are crooked and riled.”

He frowned at the guests others choose,
And the platforms they freely let loose.
“If you host shady views,
You’re not just ‘asking cues’—
You’re normalizing poisonous news.”

Then Bannon returned the next day,
With rhetoric set fully to “slay.”
He thundered with flair,
To a cheering affair,
“That Shapiro’s the rot in the way!”

He claimed there’s a plot and a grab,
For power, for influence, for clout in the lab.
The crowd roared approval,
Subtlety’s removal
Was swift as a political jab.

But zoom out a bit and you’ll see,
It’s not just a duel of two or three.
They’re all throwing blows,
At friends and at foes—
A circle of fire on right-wing TV.

So here is the moral, quite stark:
When movements are fueled by a spark
Of grievance and fame,
They turn inward with flame—
And everyone’s busy just tearing the bark.

There once was a movement so loud,
It could argue with mirrors and crowds.
At a Phoenix retreat,
They skipped “unity” week
And went straight into yelling out proud.

Ben Shapiro took stage with a glare,
And a checklist of folks to impair.
“You’ve got theories galore!
Please stop talking—no, four!
Actually five! Everyone sit in a chair!”

He wagged at conspiracies spun,
Like yarn from a very weird nun.
“If facts you ignore,
You’re not ‘brave’ or ‘hardcore’—
You’re just livestreaming nonsense for fun.”

He scolded some hosts by their names,
For inviting the worst to their frames.
“Stop sharing the mic
With guys who think ‘Reich’
Is a vibe and not historically lame.”

Then Bannon stomped back with a roar,
Like he’d just lost a pirate war.
He boomed to the hall,
“Ben’s the problem with all!”
(While implying at least twelve more.)

He shouted of plots and control,
And cancer metaphors fresh from his soul.
The crowd ate it up,
Like rhetorical slop—
Subtlety left on a stretcher and rolled.

But really the truth of the mess
Isn’t Ben, Steve, or Tucker, I guess.
They’re all in a scrum,
Yelling “traitor!” at some—
While livestreaming chaos in dress shirts and vests.

So gather ye pundits and fight,
Under ring lights both blinding and bright.
When allies turn foes,
And no one quite knows
Who they’re mad at by Thursday night.
