Yes, MAGA Faithful, It Is Time—Past Time—To Burn Your Red Hats

You were lied to. Again. And you know it.
You were promised justice, and you got spectacle. You were promised truth, and you got slogans. You were told the system was rigged, and it is—but not in the way you think. It’s not rigged against you. It’s rigged above you. For the men in jets, the men with sealed ledgers and secret guest lists. For the ones who make you scream about the border while they walk free from Epstein’s island.
You wore the hat because you believed in something real. You wanted accountability. You wanted sovereignty. You wanted to tear down the world where the Clintons and the Bushes and the Epsteins drank champagne while you paid the price for their failures. But look around now. Ask yourself who’s still walking free. Ask yourself what your movement has become.
This week, House Republicans—Trump’s Republicans—blocked the release of the Epstein files. Again. Not once, but twice. One vote away from transparency, and they shut it down. Not to protect victims. Not to protect national security. But to protect the powerful. Maybe even themselves.
And what did Trump say? Did he demand justice? Did he call out the pedophiles and the traffickers? No. He told you to move on. To forget. He wants you focused on loyalty oaths and fantasy enemies while he plays golf with the very people you once thought he came to destroy.
Burn the hat.
Not because your instincts were wrong—but because the man wearing the crown now mocks the cause that made you rise. He uses your pain as fuel for his protection. He takes your loyalty and spends it to shield the very class you hate. He is not your savior. He is their firewall.
When you burned Nike shoes, you said it was about principle. When you boycotted Bud Light, you said it was about values. So where are your values now, when rich men silence investigations into child abuse? When the man who promised to drain the swamp now builds golden walls around its deepest secrets?
Burn the hat—not as surrender, but as rebellion.
Because it’s not 2016 anymore. The movement is gone. What’s left is a shell game, run by a man whose only principle is survival. If you want to take your country back, start by taking yourself back. Demand better. Demand truth. And don’t let any man—red hat or not—tell you that protecting pedophiles is part of the plan.
You were right to be angry. But now you have to be brave.
Let the fire start with you. Burn the hat. And then start building something real.
