By Bob Dylan (with updating by Howard Rotberg)
Come gather ’round boomers
Leave your million dollar homes
And admit that the freedoms left to you
Have all been blown
And accept that the cancel culture
Contaminated your computers and Iphones
If your grandchildren’s freedom is worth savin’
And you better stop your woke elitism
Or you’ll be buried quite alone
For the times they are a-changin’
Come writers and critics
Who lie with your pens
And who support the intersectionalists
The chance won’t come again
And don’t speak too soon
As Biden/Harris take us in a downward spin
And there’s no tellin’ who facebook and twitter
Will be banning and shunning next
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin’
Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Forget about fake commissions
Your tales are quite tall
For we know that there are no “insurrections”
When no weapons have been installed
The battle outside is ragin’
We have more to fear from BLM bombs
Than unarmed patriots climbing walls
For the times they are a-changin’
Come CNN and the New York Times
And Neil Young with your stoned band
Don’t criticize
What you can’t understand
Your sons and your daughters
Hate CRT and your educators’commands
Your tolerance of communism is rapidly agin’
Please close down woke pricey colleges
If they reject freedom’s hand
For the times they are a-changin’
The line for law and order is drawn
Your bail reform’s curse it is cast
The slow patriots now
Will later be fast
As the open borders present now
Will later be past
The new world order is rapidly fadin’
And the “Squad”that seems unstoppable
Will later finish last
For the times they are a-changin’

Great lyrics. Dylan would be proud!
I’d bet every dollar I have that if a left wing mob stormed the Capitol building and broken up Congress confirming Donald Trump’s re-election, you would have been howling that the crime of the century had been committed.
Also, Bob Dylan sucks.
“I’d bet every dollar I have that if a left wing mob stormed the Capitol building and broken up Congress…”
You mean just like they did in most of the bigger cities in the US over the summer of 2020? With little or no reaction from anybody?
The joke’s on you. I’m an opponent of left-wing as well as right-wing violence.
I think it’s a problem that people like the author (and presumably yourself) want to raise a howl when one of those issues comes up, but then resort to the most strenuous evasions in response to the storming of one of the seats of our* government to stop the result of a democratic election, a much graver event.
There’s a word for that: hypocrisy.
(*in which I don’t include yourself and the author – you’re both Canadian.)
Sounds as if you know a great deal about “hypocrisy”…
