We need to build a wall between us and Mexico.
We need to build a wall between us and Canada.
We need to build a wall between us and the untrustworthy oceans.
We need to build a wall between us and the easily-radicalized sky.
We need to build a wall between us and the treacherous earth beneath us.
We need to build a wall between us and the astral plane.
We need to build a wall between us and the timeline where Biff got the Almanac.
We need to build a wall between us and the Marvel Superhero Universe.
We need to build a wall between us and that older wall that’s out of touch.
We need to build a wall between us and fucking Narnia.
You get a wall!
And you get a wall!
AND YOU GET A WALL!
AND YOU AND YOU AND YOU!
Look under your chairs, everyone gets a wall!
WALL YOURSELF OFF FROM OTHERS!
WALL YOURSELF OFF FROM YOUR CHAIR!
FEAR IS FREEDOM!
FREEDOM IS FEAR!
WALL WALL WALL WALL WALL!

Nicely done. :) I liked the bit about the oceans - and the Oprah reference.
