I'm also Satanist, albeit not as into the imagery and symbolism as The Catboy. I'm Atheist and politically moderate.
I raise the horns to you, comrade!
Forgot to mention this in my post but yeah. Modern Satanism doesn't believe in or condone live sacrifies or any cultish stuff like that.
Typically when you find the really crazy stuff, it's always extremely mentally ill people ranging from extremely psychopathic/delusional teens to schizophrenic drug abusers—the kind of people who would still do these actions regardless of what label is put on them. If it's not those groups, it's Neo-Nazis hiding under the disguise of "Satanism" as an excuse to act out their psychopathic behaviors.

Most modern followers of The Left Hand Path are chill people just carving out a space in the world and following the Path that best helps them sleep at night.

Here is just a few of Trumps most recent lies, while being interviewed live on NBC Sunday morning TV. Thanks again for voting in a pathological liar to run our country.

Crime: Trump falsely claimed, “Crime is at an all-time high.” That is nowhere close to true. Both violent crime and property crime rates have plummeted in the US since the early 1990s and are far below all-time highs. FBI data shows that crime declined again in 2023.

Trump’s tariffs: Trump falsely claimed of the tariffs he imposed during his first presidency: “They cost Americans nothing.” Study after study, including one from the federal government’s bipartisan US International Trade Commission, found that Americans bore almost the entire cost of Trump’s tariffs on Chinese products. The tariffs are paid by US importers, not foreign exporters as Trump regularly claims, and it’s easy to find specific examples of companies that passed along the cost of the tariffs to US consumers.

Trump and inflation: Trump falsely claimed that, during his presidency, “We had no inflation.” In fact, cumulative inflation during Trump’s presidency was about 8%.

Biden and inflation: Trump falsely claimed that inflation was so low during his presidency that the Biden administration “didn’t have inflation for a year and a half – they went almost two years, just based on what I had created.” In reality, there was cumulative inflation of about 14% over Joe Biden’s first two years as president; the Biden-era peak for month-over-month inflation, 9.1%, occurred in June 2022, during those first two years.

The 2020 election: Trump vaguely reiterated his lie that he was the real winner of the 2020 election, saying, “I think it’s an easy argument, it was really proven even more conclusively by the win that I had on this one.” His legitimate victory in the 2024 election does not do anything to validate his claims that the 2020 election was stolen,

Migrants and murderers: Trump repeated his frequent false claim there were “13,099 murderers released into our country over the last three years.” In reality, as the Department of Homeland Security and independent experts have noted, that official figure is about immigrants with homicide convictions in the US today who entered the country over decades, including during Trump’s own administration, not over the past three years or solely under the Biden administration. You can read more here.

Venezuela, migration and prisoners: Trump repeated his regular tale about how Venezuela has supposedly emptied prisons to allow criminals to migrate to the US. Trump has never corroborated this claim, and experts have told CNN, PolitiFact and FactCheck.org that they haven’t seen any evidence that it is true.

You literally cant say the dems were detached from reality when "eating cats and dogs" was a thing. Or when "concepts of a plan" was a thing.
Eating cats and dogs was reported by people living in the country (and the media kept saying bbq was possibly a cannibal), meanwhile Harris excitedly told us nobody was stationed in war zones anymore... Can you not tell the difference?

None of those lies are dangerous bs in the style of Biden and the like. So called "experts" "informing" CNN and other places are mostly just people working for think tanks. Yes that includes media that you think is right wing. You cant even trust the fbi at all, did people not learn after the George W Bush years?

LMAO, the report was already proven to be false by admission of the one who initially reported it, and what a wild equivalency you're trying to make with a war zone comment.

Seems we know who can't tell the difference here.

Well, I live in Australia and am happy Trump won. Kamala seems like she's hiding something, or gonna do some big changes without saying anything. Trump does traditional presidential things. He supports Catholics and I assume he is Catholic and would like to incorporate Catholic traditions into his role as a US leader. But just my opinion.

She had something like at least 80 pages dedicated to policies. What did Trump have? Concepts of plans that date back to when he had his first term with no real progress. Even after claiming to distance himself away from Project 2025, he's incorporating folks who made the document into his administration. He's putting unqualified people into key positions. As for Trump supporting Catholic traditions, does it include him cheating on his wives, with one of those encounters being with a porn star he paid to keep quiet?

Well, the court delayed it for a while, so if they had enough reason to send him to jail they could have just done that. But, I really don't know too much about this, like I said I reside in Australia. Kamala Harris seems.... fake. And I think a lot of us wanted Trump. My whole class cheered when he won. And he did end up winning, so most of America must have their reason to vote for him.
But again, just my opinion, you actually LIVE in America, so you would obviously know more and have a stronger opinion and reason.

And he won, so America thinks similar (some of you).
If the justice system were really working the way it was supposed to, then the delays would not have happened, and he would have gone to jail. But the whole point of delaying the trials was for the opportunity to dismiss them if Trump became President again. Many of the people involved that pushed for delaying them were appointed by Trump himself during his first term. He stacked the courts. This is why the American system is a joke. It's basically ran by the rich.

You can say people wanted Trump, but that doesn't mean they really knew about what he was about. Take tariffs, for instance. If you know what a tariff is, then you know that Trump lied through his teeth about it during his rallies, making statements like how China will be paying for them. Foreign exporters don't pay the tariffs. Importers do, and that leads to consumers paying more for those imported good because the importers are not about to lose profit over it. Search queries on the subject only started skyrocketing AFTER the election, so a lot of people simply took Trump's word for it, only to realize they voted for a guy that's going to cause their cost of living to rise. Groceries? Trump was all about lowering the price only to now say he can't because "it's very hard". Haitians eating people's pets? Even the person who started the rumor on Facebook admitted it was false, but Trump kept at it, using it as a point for deportation.

Whatever you may think of Harris is just that. You "think", whereas we literally have Trump having made a fool of America to get the people to vote for him, and now instead of qualified people taking key positions in government, he's planning to fill them with unqualified loyalists. It's going to be a hard 4 years except for those that see a weakened America as a good thing.

Well, Trump does seem to be the embodiment of the Seven Sins, so you could probably stretch that to mean that he supports Catholicism.

Trump isn't a Catholic nor even a Christian. Trump literally doesn't even know the first thing about Christianity. If watching him give the worst possible takes on popular Biblical quotes is enough to convince you that he's a Christian, then I honestly feel bad for you.

The literal first thing would probably be 'how to hold a bible'. So surely, he can't literally fail...

(insert Trump holding bible meme)

Okay... I stand corrected.
