About two years ago we moved from a very small town in North Dakota, a town of about 2,500. Our new home is much more lively. The North Dakota town barely had a pulse. You could shoot a gun down main street in North Dakota and not worry about hitting anyone.
The little town in North Dakota was prosperous. The average family made ten thousand more than the average American family. The town was surrounded by coal mines and power plants, and had the largest gas plant in the U.S. Money fell from the sky. There was not one homeless person or bum.
Payson on the other hand has no industry and primarily relies on tourist and old retired goats to keep the economy going. All Payson has to sell is a climate about 15 degrees cooler than Phoenix.
The North Dakota town had some rough spots, but Payson has them beat. The North Dakota Hoopleheads liked their Republican actors, but they did not lie on the scale of the Arizona clown show the Republicans put on. The same game is played in both places and Trump's damage is evident in North Dakota just like Arizona. One great thing about North Dakota was no private Hooplehead schools to dumb the kids down.
Payson has KMOG selling the right wing lies and distortion. In North Dakota KFYR radio did the evil deed of lying and distortion. The radio stations were so similar. Both stations would hand up on you if you questioned the lies. Both played loose with the facts. Scott Hennen spread the lies in North Dakota, but he eventually was pushed out even the Hooples realized he was a dinger. Same thing happened at KMOG with Charlie Sariphin. At some point the lies and nonsense catch up.
