How Robert E. Lee Became a MAGA Icon
So how did Lee become their star? A martyr carved in culture’s scar.
[Verse 1]
He wore the gray, he cracked the whip,
Tore the flag with a traitor’s grip.
Blood on his hands from a war he chose,
Seven hundred fifty thousand ghosts.
Built on backs and salted skin,
He fought to keep the horrors in.
Not a hero, not a saint—
He’s the face of a rebel’s hate.
[Chorus]
So how did Lee become their star?
Waving flags in rebel bars.
From whipping slaves to soldier cheers,
They trade our truth for ancient fears.
When facts are buried, lies live on—
That’s how Lee became a MAGA icon.
[Verse 2]
They cheered a felon in uniform,
A rally staged, tradition torn.
With handpicked troops and camera lights,
He sold them rage and civil fights.
He bragged of Lee like he knew pride,
But all he knew was how to divide.
And the base he claimed in honor’s name
Now echoes with betrayal’s flame.
[Chorus]
So how did Lee become their star?
A martyr carved in culture’s scar.
A general lost, a war long gone,
Revived by those who can't move on.
When truth is scorched and history pawned—
That’s how Lee became a MAGA icon.
[Bridge]
Washington warned us in his plea:
Don’t let the military bend a knee.
But now they cheer a lie-fed man
Who twists the past to fit his plan.
The line is blurred, the risk is real,
When uniforms salute false zeal.
And justice hides behind a wall,
While tyrants rise and heroes fall.
[Breakdown – quiet and tense]
Whose side are you on, in the end?
The rule of law or “just pretend”?
Is loyalty owed to truth and right,
Or to a con lit by torchlight?
[Final Chorus – powerful and defiant]
Yeah, that’s how Lee became their star—
Not by truth, but by PR.
Through speeches filled with fraud and fear,
Through soldiers forced to clap and cheer.
But we remember what he’s done—
And we won’t bow to a MAGA icon.
[Outro]
No base, no statue, no white lie
Can sanctify a traitor’s cry.
He led a war to kill the dream—
Now they want to make him king.
But we won’t kneel.
We won’t forget.
We ain’t done fighting treason yet.
