Verse 1
1/12 📜 O ye lords of the tweet-stormed realm, where scandals brew like ale gone sour,
Behold the fresh-faced Jacobins, in Democrat's grand, ironic tower!
Victor Davis Hanson lifts his quill, a sage in toga'd ire,
To skewer the party's painted masks, with barbs that ne'er expire. 😂
From Maine's wild coasts, a Marine strides bold, Graham Platner by name,
Who inked his chest with swastika's curl in two-thousand-seven's flame.
"Inebriated folly!" cries he, on Pod Save's earnest stage,
A tattoo of the Reich's dark rune—oh, what a blundering page!
Did he not spy the hooked cross, that emblem of the Fuhrer's hate?
Or was it hid 'neath drunken haze, this Marine's misguided fate? 🔥
2/12 🗡️ In soliloquy, he doth protest: "Reporters made me see!
I wandered life's long march unwitting, blind to infamy.
No Nazi soul in this Marine's heart, just a lad in revel's thrall—
Yet now the ink screams louder than any battle's call!"
Hark! The Jacobins arise, those radicals in blue array,
With faces fresh as morning dew, but thorns that betray.
Hanson roars from his Hoover perch, a classicist's fierce jest:
"The party's new vanguard, with skeletons inked upon the breast!"
Bawdy irony twists the tale—like Hamlet spying his own ghost,
A warrior marked by foe's own sign, what farce, what tragic boast! 😏
3/12 🎭 Enter the fray, ye viral hounds, with memes that bite and sting,
Platner's plight a banquet spread for every troll king's fling.
Imagine him in barracks brawl, ale-fueled and fancy-free,
The artist asks, "What symbol bold?" and he slurs, "Something... spree?"
Lo, the swastika blooms upon his skin, a bud of blunder's art,
Now covered o'er with fresh design, but scars still prick the heart.
Democrats rally 'round their man, polls show the young hold fast—
"Ignorance is no vice!" they cheer, in this election blast.
Yet Hanson paints the broader scene: a party gone amok,
With Jacobin zeal for guillotines, in modern meme-speak cluck. 🏴☠️
4/12 👹 These fresh faces, Hanson mocks, are wolves in sheep's wool guise,
Radicals preaching equity, but with eyes on power's prize.
Platner, poor dupe or sly fox? The tweet-sphere doth debate,
Did he wink at history's horrors, or truly tempt such fate?
In bawdy verse, like Jonson's masque, we laugh at solemn plight:
A senatorial hopeful, inked with Reich's forbidden light!
"Oh, Susan Collins trembles now," the sages slyly say,
"For Maine's blue wave might crest with this tattooed display."
Dramatic irony doth reign— a vet against the war's own mark,
Now dueling polls with covered shame, in democracy's dark park. ⚔️
5/12 😂 Soliloquy from Platner's soul: "To ink or not to ink, that is the rub—
Out, damned spot! Nay, 'twas no plot, just youthful, boozy dub!
I served my country, rifle high, no thought of Hitler's kin—
Yet here I stand, accused in ink, where scandal's storm begins."
Hanson weaves the web wider still: the party's Jacobin crew,
From campus criers to Hill-top schemers, all in radical hue.
They topple statues, rewrite lore, with fervor fresh and wild,
But overlook the tattoos that whisper of the Reich's beguiled.
Farce unfolds in Capitol halls, where virtue's mask slips low,
And bawdy jests fly thick as flies o'er hypocrisy's foul flow! 📱
6/12 🔥 O, the tweet-thread twists like Theseus' maze, with emojis as the thread,
Platner's plea goes viral fast: "I knew not what I wed!"
Young Dems nod in fervent throng, polls tick in his favor still—
"For who among us hasn't erred in tavern's merry spill?"
Yet Hanson, bard of barren fields, doth thunder from his stand:
"This is the face of new-left zeal, with swastika in hand!
Jacobins of yore guillotined the old regime with glee,
Now their heirs ink folly's fire, blind to history's debris."
Ironic twist: the Marine fights on, against the foe he wore,
A comedy of errors grand, in election's uproar! 🥳
7/12 🎪 Bawdy humor bubbles up—imagine Platner at the polls,
Voters squint: "What's that beneath your shirt, you devilish soul?"
He blushes red as cock's bold comb, "A youthful prank, I swear!
No goose-step in my step, no Heil in midnight air."
Shakespearean shade: like Othello's Moor, marked by doubt's cruel brand,
Or Falstaff's belly laughs at plots gone awry unplanned.
The party's skeletons dance forth, from closets cracked ajar—
Not just ink, but ideologies that scar and leave a mar.
Hanson's quill dips deep in gall, to etch the Democrat's fall:
From Jacobin firebrands to tattooed tumble, one and all! 😈
8/12 ⚡ In tragic farce, the thread unfurls: campaign manager flees the fray,
Outrage swells like Tiber's flood in Rome's decadent day.
Politico whispers, insiders sneer, "How blind can one man be?"
Yet Platner presses on, with covered chest and plea.
O, viral vendetta! Thread of thorns in X's endless night,
Where memes morph into arrows, piercing left and right.
Hanson's voice, a clarion call, 'gainst radicals unchecked,
Who cloak their guillotines in blue, with progress half-baked, half-wrecked.
Bawdy jest: "Ink's mightier than sword, but dumber than the ass—
A Marine with Nazi flair? That's scandal's looking glass!" 🪞
9/12 📜 Grand tragedy cloaks the jest: democracy's stage aglow,
With actors slipping on their lines, in this political show.
Platner soliloquizes still: "Would I had known the sign!
No Fuhrer fan in foxhole deep, just folly's cheap design."
Young voters cheer, undaunted bold, in poll's unyielding tide—
For in the age of TikTok truth, old sins slide aside.
Yet Hanson's muse, unyielding stern, doth bid us pause and see:
The Jacobin faces rise anew, with hypocrisies free.
From tattooed chests to policy quests, the farce doth never end—
A party painted fresh, but cracked where scandals bend! 🌪️
10/12 😆 In Jonsonian satire sharp, we mock the mighty's fall,
Platner's plight a cautionary, for one and all.
No bawdy brothel's jest too low, to lamp the high and haughty:
A Democrat with Reich's own rose—oh, what a floral naughty!
Hanson crowns the critique grand: the party's soul laid bare,
With fresh, new masks that hide the old, in radical despair.
Tweet on, ye jesters of the feed, with irony's keen blade—
For in this meme-fueled melee, truth's the prize that's made.
Dramatic close: the curtain drops on inked ignominy's play,
Where Marines march to Senate seats, in controversy's gray. 🎭
11/12 🏛️ Yet farce yields not to final bow; the battle rages on,
With quote-tweets clashing like steel swords at break of dawn.
O, Victor, prophet of the plains, your words a thunderclap—
Awake the slumbering electorate from Jacobinist trap!
Platner covers, party pivots, but memory's ink endures,
A soliloquy of blunders past, in viral annals pure.
Bawdy laughs echo through the hall: "Who inks a swastika blind?
A Marine's mad night out—leave such folly behind!"
In Shakespeare's vein, we weave the woe with wit's unyielding art,
A tapestry of tattooed truth, that pricks the body's heart. 💥
12/12 📣 Thus ends our thread of thorns and jests, five hundred words or more,
In Jonson's meter, Shakespeare's fire—satire to the core.
Emojis flare like stagehouse lights, in X's chaotic stream,
Where scandals bloom eternal, fulfilling meme-king's dream.
Provoke ye thought, ignite the laugh, uncensored and unchained—
The Democrat's fresh Jacobin face, forever tattoo-stained! 😂🔥⚔️

### Sonnet for Original Image ### Sonnet for Original Image
When ancient Democrats, with wary gaze, Behold the new "unhinged" Left's fierce demand, Their olden fears in troubled hearts do blaze, As cherished power slips from shaking hand. A radical zeal, untamed by sober thought, Now shakes the pillars of their grand design, The measured paths they once with wisdom sought, Are swept aside by passions less divine. Old Nancy's brow, and Schumer's worried mien, Reflect the fray where new ideas now swarm, While Hanson's eye observes the shifting scene, A prophet watching through the gathering storm. Thus, reigns of state, once firm within their hold, Are slipping fast, a truth now to unfold.

In a hyper-realistic 'Distracted Boyfriend' meme template explosion, the boyfriend is reimagined as a stern, mustachioed Victor Davis Hanson in a tweed jacket and spectacles, striding confidently down a glitchy cyberpunk street while glancing back lustfully at a scandalous tweet glowing on his oversized smartphone screen—the tweet reads "Marine's Nazi Ink Blunder?!" with a cartoonish swastika tattoo peeking from under a bandaged chest on Graham Platner's image as the seductive other woman, dressed in a Democrat donkey-blue gown with Jacobin revolutionary tricorn hat. The original girlfriend, representing the Republican establishment, is a flustered Susan Collins in sensible suit, looking betrayed amid a stormy X feed where neon hashtags like #TattooTaboo and #JacobinJape rain down in electric blue and red glitch artifacts, illuminated by flaring viral notification bursts like fireworks in a dystopian alleyway cluttered with floating meme arrows and quote-tweet shrapnel. 📸### Generated Video (ComfyUI)
Video Prompts
Positive:Stage a short 30-second video clip as a Shakespearean scene in an Elizabethan theater reimagined on X's digital stage: open with a sweeping panoramic camera pan across a foggy, candlelit Globe-like arena where wooden beams glitch into pixelated tweet feeds, centering on Victor Davis Hanson as a bardic narrator in flowing robes, delivering a frantic soliloquy from a balcony about the Democrat Party's "Jacobin faces," his voice booming with dramatic irony as he gestures wildly at a projected stormy X thread unraveling below like a tragic tapestry—threads of text morphing into thorny vines. Cut to close-up on Graham Platner as a bewildered Marine actor in tattered uniform, mid-stage, dramatically covering a glowing, animated Nazi tattoo on his chest with a comically oversized fig leaf that slips absurdly, eliciting bawdy interruptions from offstage chorus of rowdy X trolls hurling anachronistic jests like "Ink's mightier than the sword... or is it the swordfish?" while dueling with oversized quote-tweet props that transform into cartoonish meme arrows fired from crossbows, clashing in slow-motion sparks. Hyper-realistic visuals blend period authenticity—sweat-beaded brows, flickering torchlight—with uncensored humor: Platner's tattoo briefly animates into a dancing Hitler mustache that winks lewdly before he slaps it away in farce. Dynamic camera work mimics Elizabethan flair with quick tilts during soliloquy rants and overhead crane shots of the chaotic duel, ending in a freeze-frame of Hanson laughing uproariously as the thread collapses into confetti emojis. Audio layers continuous Baroque fugue on lute and viol, swelling with ornate counterpoint during monologues, interrupted by surreal stereo-panned effects: echoing troll laughs panning left-to-right like stage whispers, clashing sword memes with metallic twangs, and ribald whispers of "swastika shenanigans" fading into the fugue's crescendo for bombastic chaos. 🎥### Generated Music (Ace-Step)

### Part 1: Synopsis & Transcript Transcript: 0:00: The old guard of Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, are very worried about this young group of more radical, younger people who want to shut down the government. That was the impetus behind the shutdown. Do not cooperate whatsoever with Donald Trump. Mr. Platner in Maine, who wants to be the Democratic nominee for the Maine Senate, got the exact replica of the Totenkopf, Death's Head emblem of the third SS Wafen division in World War II, tattooed on his body. A division that was made up of former death camp guards and special Einsatzgruppen killers of Jews. It's kind of ironic because no one in the Democratic party has really criticized him. Remember when Elon Musk did this? They said he was a Nazi. And so we know that they were sensitive to it, but the reply of the old guard is to ignore it because they're terrified of them. 0:53: [Music starts] 1:03: Hello, this is Victor Davis Hanson for the Daily Signal. The Democrats are in a quandary. The old guard of Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, are very worried about this young group of more radical, Jacobin, um, younger people who want to shut down the government. That was the impetus behind the shutdown. Do not cooperate whatsoever with Donald Trump, and then take the House and the Senate. The problem that these people have is they are not in the mainstream of American politics. And so they have said things in their past before they were candidates, sometimes during, that are incompatible with the majority of Americans' views on what denotes proper behavior and conduct of a politician or of an official. For example, Mr. Platner in Maine, who wants to be the Democratic nominee for the Maine Senate and run against incumbent Susan Collins, has said some really atrocious things. He's, uh, castigated black people. He says that stereotypically they don't tip. He said that white rural people are racist. Uh, he's in a lot of trouble though because when he was in the Marine Corps, he went, uh, to a tattoo parlor and got a, um, skull and crossbones tattoo. Now he would like us to believe that this was no big thing, uh, that it was just, I don't know, a skull, and young people do stupid things, he said. But it was a long time ago. He's had, I don't know, 17, 18 years to get rid of it if it was if it was, uh, something more than skull and crossbones. And it was something more than skull and crossbones because it was not just skull and crossbones. It was the exact replica, facsimile, of the Totenkopf Death's Head emblem of the third SS, uh, Waffen division in World War II. A division that was made up of former, at least in its 1939 to '41 inception, former death guard death camp guards and special Einsatzgruppen, uh, killers of Jews. And so when he went to this parlor, he put on the official logo of the third Waffen SS Panzer Division. And he's had it on his chest, and he's referred to it himself, uh, as a Totenkopf, Death's Head, the German word. So he knew what he was doing. You can say, well, Victor, do you really believe he's a Nazi? And I'm going to say, I don't know what I believe, but from what he's said and what is tattooed on his body, I think he's reckless, indiscriminate, and can't tell the truth. It's kind of ironic because no one in the Democratic Party, who's afraid of this base that he represents, has really criticized him and said you should drop out of the race. Remember when Elon Musk did this and this? They said he was a Nazi until we found pictures of everybody from Hakeem Jeffries to Barack Obama doing this. So it was, and I think even Elizabeth Warren did this. Just a salute. So we know that they were sensitive to it, but the problem is deeper, and that is if you're going to go to your base to get statewide candidates or national candidates, or your old guard is going to emulate the ethos of the base, then you have certain, I don't know, background checks. We have J. Jones, remember, who's running for Attorney General in Virginia, and it's not that he just happened to say, I would like my Republican opponent to be killed, or I would like to go to his funeral. When he was chastised in a text, uh, by a Republican counterpart not to say that, he doubled down. And he said, oh, I would not only like him dead, I would like his children dead, and one of them to be dead in his wife's arms. And he hasn't really explained. He says he, that's not him, he's but he didn't really come forward until it was exposed. In the way that Mr. Platner didn't come forward until it was exposed. And then they can't give adequate explanations of why they said it or what they why he was tattooed, and they they are seemingly embarrassed the old guard of Democrats, but they don't because the the reply of the old guard is to ignore it because they're terrified of them. And what I, I think it's goes beyond ignoring it. Gavin Newsom recently said that Christy Noem was going to have a bad day. Thank you, America. What is that? An implied threat that if she came into California with ice, something bad would happen to her? He said that he wanted to hit Donald Trump in the mouth. If a private citizen put that on social media, the FBI would be knocking on his door. He also said he wanted to hit the mouth, hit them in the mouth, his Republican opponents that were engaged, as he is, in redistricting congressional, uh, districts. And so we've had Mr. Pritzker, who's warned, warned that he's going to go after ICE agents, uh, if in his view, he feels that they're breaking the law. In his view. I don't know if that means he's going to arrest them, or when uh, the the state government uh, in is going to investigate them and indict them, but it's actually a violation of Article 6 of the Constitution. So what am I getting at is that the new Democratic Party is drawing on a base that is way out of the mainstream. And they're out of the mainstream on the issues of crime, on the border, on illegal immigration, on foreign policy, on energy, uh, radical abortion on demand, uh, transgender males competing in female sports. But more importantly, the way that they're out of touch is one that's on the record. Their language, their threats, their promises of violence. And that's not going to go away. And the problem that we're having now is this rhetoric is escalating, escalating, escalating, and the more that they are shut out of official power in the House, the Senate, the White House, the Supreme Court, and the more they realize that they have to double down in language and heat because they have no light on the issues. In other words, the more they accept that the people do not want what have what they want to offer, the angrier they get. And so they are controlling this new Democratic Party, the primary system, and the base of the party. And the angrier and more violent they get, the more the old guard who's on the way out but does not want to go on the way out, will itself either tolerate it or double down on it. Where does this lead? Um, at best it leads to 20 years of the wilderness, that period, I don't know, comparable to George McGovern's catastrophic left-wing defeat 1972, in which the Democratic Party committed suicide. They had a little four-year blip with Jimmy Carter that only reminded people how bad they were until Bill Clinton in 1992 came back for eight years. He never won the popular vote over 50%, but he acted as a moderate and he was able to win uh 49%, 43% in the Electoral College on two occasions, and he saved the Democratic Party. That would be the best scenario for them. The worst scenario is they take their rhetoric seriously and they really do want to escalate to violence and use state authority uh such as they have to challenge the federal government. That's uncharted territory, but we know one thing, it's not going to end well.

Synopsis: Victor Davis Hanson, speaking for "The Daily Signal," argues that the Democratic Party is in a "quandary" due to a rising "radical young group" that rejects mainstream American politics. He asserts that the party's "old guard" (like Schumer and Pelosi) is afraid of this new base, which he claims espouses extreme views and aggressive rhetoric. Hanson uses the example of a Maine Senate nominee, Mr. Platner, who allegedly has a tattoo of the Waffen SS "Death's Head" emblem—a symbol associated with former death camp guards and Jewish killers. Hanson criticizes Democrats for not condemning such figures, contrasting their silence with reactions to Elon Musk's past actions. He further cites other Democratic figures (Gavin Newsom, J. Jones, Mr. Pritzker) making what he interprets as violent threats or calls for escalating conflict against political opponents or federal agencies. Hanson concludes that this escalating, out-of-mainstream rhetoric from the party's base is leading the Democratic Party towards a political "wilderness," unless they moderate their stance, similar to Bill Clinton's strategy in the 1990s.
