The candidate has attended QAnon conferences and believes the Capitol riot was carried out by leftistshttps://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/kristina-karamo-billie-eilish-devil-b2066009.html
A Republican running for Secretary of State in Michigan has reportedly dusted off some old-school Satanic panic scare tactics to appeal to her base, suggesting a number of popular musicians are actually in league with the devil.
According to Media Matters, Kristina Karamo, who is running for Michigian Secretary of State, hosted a podcast in the summer of 2020 and claimed that superstar musicians Ariana Grande and Billie Eilish were hypnotising children "under a Satanic delusion."
She called a performance by Grande at the MTV Video Music Awards in which women dancers reenacted Leonardo DaVinci's "The Last Supper" nothing more than a "lesbian orgy."
Ms Karamo also claimed that Beyonce was working overtime to pull more and more Black Americans into paganism and calling it American spirituality." Beyonce is the focus of many far-right conspiracy theories alleging she is either a member of the "Deep State" or some kind of cult leader.

(6,535 posts)I think it's the whole "temptation to just use the techniques to enhance sex" thing, which can be a legitimate issue with some people...not that there's anything wrong with having mind-blowing sex, but the religious authorities tend to frown on people doing that with no other motive of self-improvement involved.

(43,491 posts)A tape (verified) could come out of Trump's mushroom 🍄 all up in a 13 year old girl, and many of the christofascists will refuse to call him a devil. In fact, many will still worship the orange bloat as a demigod.
They are all in, all in on the cray. Far beyond balls deep.

I see they've both adopted the "thumbs up" signal from their "hero". When my late stepmother would see someone use that, she'd say, "Oh, sit on it and rotate." She had some very funny retorts when she was in her late 80's.
