The MAGA movement, born of red hats and rage, has evolved into something far more dangerous than a slogan. It’s now a cult of personality, wrapped in a flag, waving a Bible, and beating the Constitution with it. Donald Trump’s political legacy is not one of economic genius or moral fortitude—it’s a scorched-earth strategy of division, grievance, and deceit.

From the moment we walked into the Anaheim Convention Center, Bonkers and I were hit with that wild WonderCon energy — part costume carnival, part creative explosion, part deep human connection.
