We “refuse to be silent any longer”: magic as self-care after Kavanaugh

A long article talking about “witches” and other deluded goofballs whipping up talismans and rituals and other such nonsense as a way of coping with their failure to get their way in all things. When it comes to nutburgers like these, I’d rather have them believing in and practicing magic than believing in and practicing, say, chemistry.

Not only does the practice of “magic” keep them away from doing actually harmful things, it also makes them look silly to rational people. I would *vastly* prefer it if my opponents were to oppose me with the power of prayer or voodoo dolls or smoking herbs and other such rubbish than with baseball bats or sensible-yet-dishonest TV ads. Additionally, the sheer amount of time, effort and money they waste on this humbuggery keeps them poorer than they would be otherwise.
