“Like I said, my opponent, she didn’t even hide it,” Masterson added. “She talked—they had witch—I mean, they’re doing like witchcraft spells on TikTok so she can win the governorship. I mean, they’re like … it’s like demonic stuff that they’re doing, right? Just in your face that way.”
The fact that people are trying to emulate Trumps dementia riddled speech patterns is very concerning.
It’s funny but sad that so many are bamboozled by all this superstition and supernatural stuff, indoctrinated and then never got out of it, stay in the safe comfort of dualism and don’t have to think for self. They benefit from the system and indoctrinate their children too, just obey, it’s easier than thinking, but hurts other people with the bad policies!
Weird how the party of tough alpha wolf macho men is constantly looking for new dumb shit to be terrified of
I thought y’all believed in freedom of religion? Witch is a religion
Fr I do really hate that being pagan is so controversial in so much of the country
Until she’s weighed, and found to weigh, the same as a duck, this is entirely baseless.
She turned me into a newt!!!
You got better?
Yah…
Reminds me of Delaware Senate Candidate Christine O’Donnell needing to issue a preemptive denial back in 2010.
Wtf and in the northeast no less…
To save you a click:
The state senator had seemingly drawn his conclusions from a series of playful TikTok videos posted by Holscher’s 20-year-old daughter, Maddie, who had shared clips of her and her mom brushing their teeth set to a song from the Wicked soundtrack.
“Casting a spell so my mom wins Kansas Governor except she’s so done with me,” Maddie Holscher captioned one clip from April, in which she waves her arms around her mother.
being a little silly with your kids to the music of a disney musical film?
she’s just like a lot of other moms out there, and totally unlike the far-right wackos in the current administration.
Question from another part of the world: do they believe this nonsense, or do they just think their voter base believe it, or is it just a shared excuse for misogyny? I’m so lost.
They like the benefits of being in the in-group and protect their privilege all they can, even with incantations against witches, goblins and other supernatural forms lol! This goes way back to Europe and the Cautio Criminalis!
As an American, some do, others see it as explicit rejection of the in group/Christianity and hate it for that reason, still others just see it as a means of dehumanization that’ll get the dumbfucks on their side riled up. The politicians though, most of them ain’t believe in squat beyond what makes them more powerful. If the politicians believed in witchcraft that can overpower prayers you’d best believe they’re secretly doing spells for their benefit.
Yes.
Kansan here, Masterson probably doesn’t believe it, but I also bet he’s not entirely sure. There will be a small subset of voters who actually believe it because the American Heresy is strong. The vast majority of his voters/Kansans will literally never hear about this. And if they did, my guess is that most wouldn’t believe it and most wouldn’t change their vote if they heard about it.
Party loyalty is dumb.
I used to say: " They are not that stupid, they think you’re that stupid."
Now I say: They they aren’t that stupid, they know you’re that stupid.
It’s dehumanization language, make the enemy an “other”.
Some are true believers, but most seem to treat it like a football game or something mentally where as long as their team or the one issue they vote (usually abortion, bigotry or guns) is satisfied they don’t care about all the other performative crap.
Unfortunately, a large percentage of the Christian population in North America actually believes that witchcraft is A Real Thing that needs to be fought against tooth and nail. I was raised by people like this, who believe to this day that Harry Potter is evil because “spells” and “magic” are evil, as though they’re some kind of insidious gateway to hell itself. It’s madness. :)
they voted for trump, twice… they are that stupid
If they voted twice, you can be pretty sure they voted thrice for that grifter.
I’m not sure if the speaker actually believes it. He’s a slimeball. But yeah far too many people here will. I hate what it’s gonna take to fix this, or else a millennia of darkness. ☹️
She’d be cooler if she were.
I figured this was going to start soon. I have made friends with a Murder in my neighborhood, I am related to two accused witches one of whom was hung in Salem and I own a black cat so I expect to be named in the upcoming witch trials too.
Hanged*. hung means something very different.
I was hung in Salem. I’m hung at home, too.
This person belongs in a mental ward.
So his opponent is practicing her Freedom of Religion. In this instance, Wicca. If he’s a solid Catholic, he’s free to go drink the literal blood and eat the literal flesh of Jesus (after transubstantiation) during mass. By the same token, she should be free to perform whatever spell/s she likes. That doesn’t make her ‘demonic’. Unless she’s literally summoning demons, in which case, Masterson needs to play The Best Song in the World.
Go pray on TikTok, then. Either it’s not witchcraft helping her, or your God is a farce.
Go pray on TikTok, then.
You can’t, on account of the Communist Chinese Censorship which only allows Antifa Wiccans to channel their dark arts.
God is dead and infinite scroll feeds killed him. That and Starbucks cancelling Christmas every year.
Masterson is a fucking blight in human form. Even this hellhole of a state deserves better.
When we said if you don’t have dirt on your opponent then make it up we meant something like misappropriation of funds.
