Mumble a mantra about flags.
Anyone can do this, and it need not

We stand for everyman. Repeat.

We stand for everyman. Repeat.

Learn to play the innocent
dog-whistle as necessary.
Mumble a mantra about flags.
We stand for everyman. Repeat.

Shout your mantra. Point to
the flag. Those who oppose
are traitors, simple as.
We will not stand for them. Repeat.

Anger. Ignorance. Mantra.
Enemies. Resentment. Flag.
Foreigner. Scapegoat. Blood.
We never stood for them. Defeat.
