During the second year of the Great Prevarication, the people were terrified as the

MAGA plague continued to rage across the land. Having suffered under the smirking Cult of Mendacity since Fraud Almighty had squatted on the Altar of Liberty, the people knew not where the Truth resided and wondered aloud if Orwell had, indeed, been a prophet.

Then came---first a murmur, then a few passionate voices and then a roar sweeping across the land---- as the people spoke as one: ENOUGH!

And it came to pass that all the twisted evil creatures who had drunk so deeply of Fraud Almighty's cup were driven from the Land of the Free and forced to spend their remaining days in Society's Desert, where Fraud Almighty continued to hawk "MAGA" caps and vulgar shirts to them.

And, lo, one who they had so reviled then stood before them and spake thusly: "NO MORE MALARKEY! How likest thou them apples?"
