Why is The Hill now so very interested in this random Illuminati theory mentioned by a part-time South Dakota house representative? Are they trying to make some kind of point about Republicans and conspiracy theories? If so, they’re barking up the wrong tree. In a 2022 study, researchers found that Republicans and democrats were equally likely to believe conspiracy theories, just different ones. It’s science:



On an aside, the study included this highly-entertaining chart listing all the different conspiracy theories from both sides of the political aisle, and ranked them by political belief:



If the Hill was worried about part-time Republican Donnell believing in secret societies and occult forces, maybe instead it should worry a lot more about millions of democrats who are all-in for the occult these days:



Thirty billion views! The #WitchTok hashtag on TikTok returns literally hundreds of thousands of video tutorials — mostly by young women — teaching folks how to cast spells and summon pagan deities, interspersed with healing crystal “hauls” (shopping sprees) and vlogs (video blogs) about their latest otherworldly encounters.

There are dozens, if not hundreds, of post-pandemic liberal news reports glowingly describing the “WitchTok” phenomenon.

Thirty billion is whole a lot watched witchcraft videos. And going out on a limb, I will assume that there aren’t very many Republicans watching those videos. It’s a woke liberal phenomenon.

In fact, witchcraft has become so popular on social media that it is even causing problems between the witches. One self-declared witch, Alexa, regretfully informed the UK Courier she has social media envy: “And then on Instagram you have all these beautiful, lovely altars that always look gorgeous – meanwhile mine looks like a mess 90% of the time!”


Without any skepticism or irony, the Courier explained that Alexa, 32, was taught the practice of folk magic by her grandfather, and has been practicing since she was eight years old. Alexa said she first became interested in witchcraft watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer on TV, and when she mentioned her interest to her grandfather, he started showing her the ropes.

So.

Another recent headline worried that, what with ChatGPT and other AI technologies on the horizon, occult practices could lose their “personal touch:”

The author of the ‘AI Gurus’ article explained that, all of a sudden, post-pandemic, witches and occultists are practically leaping out of the “woo” closet:

According to a 2017 Pew Research report, 25% of American adults consider themselves spiritual, not religious. When I first began my astrology practice eight years ago, coming out of the “woo” closet was still taboo, especially while juggling my corporate media day job. Fast forward to today and now every other Los Angeles-based lifestyle influencer touts some variation of intuitive coaching, with packages starting at $3,000 minimum.


So, the Hill’s complaint can’t possibly be that Mr. Donnell believes in demons. Tons of liberals believe in demons too. They just don’t believe in Judeo-Christian demons. Liberals claim to have the same encounters and experiences, but they tend to euphemistically refer to demons as “evil spirits” or “negative spiritual entities.”
