IMO there are no harmless ones (by that I mean dictionary definition superstitions - not just things like traditions and adages that have a logical reason or basis), if a person truly believes in actual magical thinking no matter how silly it's a doorway to accepting the rest.

Like letting in bullshit like horoscopes, homeopathy, faith healing, yearning for eschatological prophecies...

Imagine Obama or Biden, or Harris, doing this!

Everything about this is like we have all been force-fed industrial strength hallucinogens. That YMCA played by the murderous Saudi prince after that fawning display... WTAF world are we living in any more?

If this was the Matrix I'd be demanding to be unplugged right now, and promptly throw up on the floor

Yep, the right peddles sexy chest-beating wishful thinking and conspiracy theories which sells itself, the left has to sell the actual hard work that is needed - and yes frequently leans into chasing stupid celebrity endorsements and fluff and getting bogged down in the weeds or getting tripped up by well-meaning labels that get twisted used as battering rams against them like DEI, Woke, Socialist, etc.

Unfortunately we cannot win by being as bad as them, that is the burden of being on the righteous path of fairness, logic and reason.

That's what the interviewer asked too. The voices didn't like that question...

Those were the times I was taking time off to argue with the voices in my head that were telling me to kill again.

This is how the brownshirts operated. Just thugs, power trippin', and attracting the absolute worst people who WANT to wear balaclavas and have the excuse to be intimidating assholes and have the power to bundle people into vans (or railcars).

Churchill also did not hold elections during WWII either. Wartime requirements for a country under attack from an outside force take precedent.

Jeezus, they need to only have people under the age of 50 to revitalize any messaging. An anthem from a washed up pop star celeb is not going to do shit. Celebs are a turn off. The election not 3 months ago proved that.
