Satanic panic is making a comeback, fueled by QAnon believers and GOP influencers

[madman]

hey! GOP. The devil is coming for you. HAHAHAH!


idiots!


PROVO, Utah — On June 1, David Leavitt, the prosecuting attorney for Utah County, stood behind a lectern in his windowless Provo office before a gaggle of reporters. Wearing a gray suit and an exasperated look, he wanted to make something categorically clear: Neither he nor his wife were guilty of murdering or cannibalizing young children.

It was, by all accounts, a strange declaration from the progressive Republican prosecutor, a Mormon and younger brother of a former Utah governor, Mike Leavitt, who had earned a name for himself by prosecuting a well-known polygamist in 2001. But David Leavitt was up for re-election, Utah County voters would start casting ballots the next week, and the allegations, ridiculous as they may have sounded, had started to spread online and throughout the community.

Boosted by QAnon and mainstream conservatives, satanic panic spreads online and through local communities

Baseless accusations are branding people as satanist pedophiles at the speed of the internet — just ask a GOP prosecutor who recently lost re-election.

SEINFELD - DAVID PUDDY MAD DEVILS FAN​

 

[Lycanthrope]

Cynical GOP politicians are more than happy to wink at this lunacy if it secures their careers.

And then there are batshit idiots like MTG who genuinely believe in it.

Both sorts are a threat to democracy.

[SNOWFLAKE]

Why are Righties SO worried about Satanists - the real threat to their existence is coming from liberal Snowflakes, don't they know that

(Prediction, watch some Rightwing loony on here suggest liberal Snowflakes and Satanists are the same thing, I can hardly wait)

MAGA has been recycling the McMartin Preschool panic as Pizzagate, it is precisely what the Right Wing has been doing for years.
