The way it works is a letter stands for another letter. For example: AXYDLBAAXR is LONGFELLOW (does not apply to today's cryptogram).
Beware, the game is very addictive. If this is your first time, don't be intimidated, you’ll be solving them all within a few days. If you’re stumped, take a break and return to it.
PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and how you made out.
You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram ASK THE GROUP FOR HELP!
I suggest printing these out and work them on paper. If you need a little help you can copy and paste it to Hal’s Helper below.
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper, but I recommend that you do NOT look at the letter counter.

One last request. Feel free to post a fun or clever clue, the more tangential to the quotation the better, but please don’t put the actual words of the quote in the clue.
Enjoy today’s cryptogram and have a TERRIFIC TUESDAY.
But it will work out for the better THIS time
Promise!

The name was the easy solution.
John Adams warned that the worst form of despotism is tyranny of the majority.
It’s all about control. Always has been.
Oh, come on, it’ll work THIS time, because it’s US!
Yes! It’s Isaiah 44:18.
“They know nothing, they understand nothing;
their eyes are plastered over so they cannot see,
and their minds closed so they cannot understand.”
Hmmmm... I’d counter that MWQ FXUPMPOCU UQHM regard it as EXOPCU ZDEMPOQ when they have taken FXRQN MX ONQCMQ YQEFXMPEA. over the FXUPMPOCU right.
Well, it’s not like it was on the anniversary of Hitler’s invasion of Poland.....
Oh, wait......
