Two old men standing by the highway leading out of Payson with their " Jail Trump" signs. The clouds overhead tell the story. The clouds are ominous, dark and threatening. That is our country with an evil man in Florida plotting against all so many have fought for. Donald Trump, a man devoid of decency, yet capable of casting a spell over the Fox News crowd that allows his cult to threaten the greatest democracy the Earth has known.
True suddenness goes by in the passing cars. One Trump cult member spit at the 80 year old man fighting to save our country, and then there are the simple minded amused by their own middle finger. Yet, there is hope, the young people who wave and cheer. It will be the young who save us from the insane. It will be the young who will either arise or fall into oblivion.
The country has never faced an onslaught like this before. Gullible people have been inundated with fantasy, paranoid conspiracy theories and false hope from a man drunk on power and greed.
On the other end of town at the Ponderosa Bible Church the minions of Donald Trump will meet on Tuesday to plot against democracy. Imagine using a church to further the ends of Donald Trump. Church people conspiring with the man who sent his armed minions to destroy the Capitol. A new Jesus has moved into our churches. The new Jesus thinks lies, guns, and money are the answer to humanities problems. The old Jesus would not recognize the gang that inhabits his sanctuaries now. They trust Jesus but carry guns just in case. They pray for a winning lottery ticket and absolution for their ignorance. They want to teach Sunday school and destroy the public schools. This is Payson, Arizona 2022 inhabited by a tribal cult that will believe any lie that supports their false idol. If there is a God he will need a lot of lightening to clean up the mess Trump has created.
