    Those fingers in my hair

    That sly come hither stare

    That strips my conscience bare

    It’s witchcraft

    “And that’s why I call it witchcraft, because it has the effect of planting and reinforcing thoughts in the mind of the listener that defiles perspective. This makes it easier to manipulate people.”

    Huh …

    That wasn’t witchcraft! What she did was Headology, plain and simple. Far more efficient. All you have to do is make the recipient understand that the lies they tell themselves in the dark corners of their mind are flimsy untruths that everyone can see through.

      It’s only a shame she didn’t make him think he was a frog.

      But then, Trump is really already kind of a toad.

      Is Headology a generic witchy thing, or specifically a Discworld thing?

        AFAIK it started as a Discworld thing but has been adopted by Wiccans IRL

          Not just wiccans, all sorts of pagans use it. Because the sort of person who becomes a pagan has a large overlap with the sort of person who loves discworld

    Slightly more plausible than Bluetooth eatings where she had a full team of writers instantly coming up with her responses, all agreeing on it, and relating it to her with zero delay…

      Even then, like, am I the only person who isn’t against candidates having an earpiece and a team helping them? When do you ever think the POTUS is alone and making split-second decisions? They’ll always have an advisor or some type of council around them.

        I’d support it for fact checking alone. Give them a researcher in their ear who can search the internet for reliable references. It would discourage bullshitting on both sides, and someone like Trump would be instantly shut down.

          Instead of an invisible fact-checking team, give them each a laptop (or phone) so they can do their own fact checks, and make the screens visible so we can see what sources they use.

        This is supposed to be a presidential debate, not a president and team debate.

        Also at the end of the day it’s the president that makes the decisions, not the team. You’re supposed to evaluate them, in part, on their decision making capability.

      The bluetooth one is crazy because have you ever tried to talk while you have a voice rambling in your ear?

      It’s not easy to focus.

        Eh, a lot of scam preachers have infamously done just that. What makes it unrealistic is the practical range for Bluetooth. And even if they figured that out, since they were not inside her ears canals they’d be effectively speakers which the mic would catch.

    This would be genuinely hilarious if it wasn’t so goddamn serious for so many indoctrinated folks.

    So let me get this straight: she’s black, she’s south Asian, she’s a woman, she’s married to a Jew, and she’s a witch? I think I like her even more now…
