The humor is untangling the absurdness of Trump and his cabinet. I live in Utah and we have a strong counter culture to the conservative mormon culture.

I'm no comedian, and I've never done standup, but I'm thinking you might want to revisit your goal. At a comedy open-mic, the object is to make people laugh. If your political rant doesn't have humor, and to me it does seem a little light on that element, then you're not gonna get the laughs, and you're probably going to alienate some proportion of the crowd.
Remember, you won't be able to explain the point of your jokes to a crowd.
My two cents', and so forth.
Knock 'em dead.
Thanks for the advice. Maybe I'll go for it and I'll let you know what happens
