This cartoon of Steve Bannon explaining MAGA from a prison cell is the perfect mix of comedy and dystopian nightmare fuel. It’s like a satire sketch come to life—except it’s real. The fact that a disgraced, jailed political operative is still somehow influencing a movement built on blind loyalty and delusion is beyond absurd. And yet, here we are, watching Trump corral his MAGA minions like a doomsday cult, completely immune to reason or reality. You couldn’t script a more ridiculous plot if you tried!

Lyndon B. Johnson predicted as such way back in the 60s:

If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you

That right there sums up Donald Trump’s business model.
