minus-squareadmiralteallinkfedilink48•11 months ago she has accused the Satanic Temple of making filings that “are only meant to evoke strong emotions and incite others.” I don’t think anyone in the Satanic Temple would disagree with that. That’s honestly a pretty good description. It’s basically a rite of the religion, to stir up trouble. To rile people up until they reveal their hypocrisy.
