I get that little kids are bratty and annoying but I am still genuinely interested into what a 7 year old child can do that literally makes you want to hire a hitman to kill them.

A day after a gunman killed a sixth grade student and wounded five other people at Perry High School northwest of Des Moines, Donald Trump returned to the state at a campaign event and told residents that they “have to get over it.” (source)

The asshole who still hasn't gotten over losing the 2020 election three and a half years ago, has the fucking AUDACITY to tell grieving families in lowa that they need to “get over” yet another preventable school shooting.

I am BEGGING you, please do not let this human-sized piece of dog shit win a second term in the White House.

The Satanic Temple and Christian nationalists are on the same side

TST isn't engaging in "successful trolling" or undermining Dominionists; they are actively fueling a culture war that benefits both reactionaries and corporate Satanists

In general, people will call The Satanic Temple's activities “successful trolling” or “drawing attention to “the direct conflict between Christian Dominionism and the US Constitution”, claiming it’s the *reactionaries* who are falling for something every time.

In reality, the idea that the right wing is the one being hoodwinked assumes that they aren't benefitting from exactly this, and that these conflicts do not boost both sides taking part in it, each running their own grift for their own reasons.

Partially, this is because Doug "Lucien Greaves" Misicko and Cevin Soling (a.k.a. “Malcolm Jarry”) are fundamentally reactionary Gen X edgelords whose politics never go further left than right-wing libertarianism.

But the reason The Satanic Temple and the Christian nationalists are on the same side is that both of them materially benefit from pointing to the other as “the enemy”.

If Republicans didn't have TST, they'd want to invent them (and have). The Temple is their perfect foil.

These Satanic panics get both parties more attention, a higher profile, and more money as folk primarily motivated by anti-partisanship reflexively support something opposed by the groups that those folk hate.

“This’ll really piss off my conservative uncle/liberal niece.”

Yes, it seems like it’s fun and a good thing to watch The Satanic Temple piss off people you hate. But that feeling is exactly the lubricant that makes the grift work.

We've long said that the best way to describe The Satanic Temple to someone unfamiliar with them is "Scientology For Mall Goths".

So imagine instead it were Scientologists doing this.

Would you still root for them just because Republicans were the ones getting publicly mad?

If media only ever treated Scientology like merry pranksters, never getting into the front companies, treatment of former members, or histories of the owners of a corporate religion, would that be informing people of what’s going on?

Or would it be doing the exact opposite.
