How did we get here?

How did we get here?  
With a man who lies  
and stirs the storm,  
who turns hate into headlines  
and power into a joke.

We watched,  
silent, maybe scared,  
as the country twisted  
toward chaos.

How did we get here?  
One choice at a time,  
one voice not raised,  
one truth ignored.  

And now—  
here we are.
