6:03 A.M. The rain is pouring down like the lies from MAGA. Thick, relentless, and impossible to ignore. If you’ve ever watched the local Hoopleheads in action, you know what I mean. The hypocrisy, the stupidity, the sheer lack of integrity—it’s a circus that has to be witnessed to be believed.
Take, for example, our own three stooges: Steve Otto, Charlie Bell, and Jim Farris. In their infinite wisdom, they decided the way to “protect morality” was to cut library funding—because apparently books are more dangerous than ignorance. Their crusade against “pornography” was nothing more than a cheap play to the simple-minded, the kind of red meat that gets the MAGA dogs howling. These are the same masterminds who push the idea that a “deep state” is secretly running things in little old Payson. It would be laughable if it weren’t so dangerous.
This manipulation of the gullible is straight out of Donald Trump’s playbook. Trump’s genius wasn’t in building towers—it was in hiring idiots to manipulate other idiots. He stacked his administration with incompetent loyalists whose only qualification was blind obedience. And the MAGA peasants loved it, because the wreckage of normal governance felt like “sticking it to the elites.”
But Trump’s greatest invention—the crown jewel of his con—was Fake News. A magic phrase that erases reality. Don’t like the climate crisis? Just say it’s fake. Don’t like the fact-checkers? Fire them. Don’t like the press? Call them the enemy of the people. He trained his followers to sneer at journalism and instead feast on a steady diet of conspiracy and lies.
Trump is not a politician—he’s a cult leader. He knows exactly how Hitler dismantled truth in Germany, and he’s replaying the script word for word. And in the wings, Vladimir Putin couldn’t be happier. Trump is gutting American democracy so cheaply that Putin must feel like he’s shopping in the clearance aisle at Walmart.
The real tragedy is not just that Trump knows how to con people—it’s that millions still want to be conned.
