Two things up front: nobody is responsible for who supports them. Good people can have bad people support them for any number of reasons. Second: this is NOT A JOKE. It is both real and was intended seriously, although I admit the wording was probably tongue-in-cheek on the part of the Satanists.

You may recall last year's controversy when the Minnesota Satanists put up a holiday display in the Minnesota Capitol because the state is required to be religiously neutral.

Them's the rules, and you have to abide by the rules. And, to be clear, those rules are good and necessary, as any Catholic who remembers why "priest holes" once existed in England should know. 

Naturally, Governor Tim Walz, whose policies I genuinely believe are sometimes Satanic, had to approve all the religious displays in the Capitol, and he did so. Again, this was his responsibility, so as much as I dislike him I agree with my friend Harry Niska who appeared in the news story above that we just have to live with things like this in America. 

The Satanists, though, were grateful to Walz, and I suspect that any group so in love with demonic things like killing babies, chopping children's genitals off, and indoctrinating kids into alphabet ideology would be for a lot of Walz's policies. 

So they sought to get approval for a plaque to be displayed (temporarily) at the Capitol thanking him. As far as I know, THAT was not something Walz's administration was required to allow. If he were there would be such plaques thanking government officials (or denouncing them) everywhere in the Capitol building. 

Personally I LOVE the plaque, because for the first time the Satanists and I have found common ground. 

You HAVE to love that.

The plaque identifies the constituent group: Democratic Satanists. 

It also identifies why Walz is the bomb: helping spread "Satanism in the State Capitol Building."

And finally it identifies Walz's final reward: Satan has reserved a special place in Hell for Tim Walz."

Short, straight to the point, and wholly accurate. Would that everything said and done at the Capitol met those requirements.
