I see your Tim and Gwen Walz and raise you one Bernie Sanders and Becca Balint.

As for living in a blue state, I feel your pain.

Satanists are just rebellious teens living in their parents’ basements and working at McDonald’s who haven’t realized they are 38 years old.

Intellectually stunted and smug they espouse concepts that with just a modicum collapse into stupidity.

They are fun to debate tho. It’s kinda like using one of those laser cat toys to get them chasing things that aren’t there.

Great analysis bringing some key points together. However, I wonder if performative doofuses getting attention for occult-ish (or is it merely cult?) behavior might not be worse than you think: deliberate ploys to distract from the horrors of trafficking women and children through open borders, mutilating children for a psycho-fad, normalizing pedophilia, and encouraging both secular and Christian lawlessness.

<I>which is greater, their aversion to certain political policies, or the occult?</I>

I think most of us don't really care about the occult; we find it silly, not disturbing. Sort of like flat earthers; as long as they're not hired by NASA, who cares about them?

That makes these sorts of displays stupid, not particularly dangerous, but that is still a fine reason to do something about them. What's next? A pink Festivus display by the Church of Barbie?

I'm perfectly willing to ally with those who find the occult dangerous just to keep this stupidity on the Internet, where it belongs.
