Marianne Williamson Makes it Worse

Marianne Williamson staggers into the racist and xenophobic attack on Haitian immigrants (and let’s be frank, anyone who codes as Haitian to a bigot) waving her hands and shouting look at me! with a stunning display of how bigots do “open mindedness“.

Essentially “Stealing and eating people’s pets is their religion. You snobs.”

Continuing to dump on Trump because of the ‘eating cats’ issue will create blowback on Nov. 5,” she posted on Thursday morning.

Blowback with who, exactly?

Apparently the practitioners of Vodou who do steal and eat pets. But for religion and culture and stuff.

Haitian voodoo is in fact real,

That’s not how it’s spelled, it should be capitalized and stealing and eating people’s pets is not part of the religion.

and to dismiss the story out-of-hand rather than listen to the citizens of Springfield, Ohio confirms in the minds of many voters the stereotype of Democrats as smug elite jerks who think they’re too smart to listen to anyone outside their own silo.

Got that? Smug elites are the ones who don’t believe an unsourced and extremely disgusting Facebook post about people who combine a few favorite targets of right wingers over common sense, or have a reflexive suspicion of claims that minorities do something that is generally considered illegal/immoral or perhaps have actual knowledge about the religion and know this wretched puddle of snake oil needs to shut her trap.

I think everyone knows someone like this. And if you don’t, good for you, please share your secret in the comments. But Williamson is that person who thinks that being open-minded means believing every stereotype (the allegedly positively and the obviously negative), every absurd, obscene lie about members of marginalized groups and then accepting these imaginary people because you’re just that cool. In short, I absolutely bet Williamson has asked someone she thinks is Chinese what dog tastes like.

The citizens of Springfield, Ohio, who have said this is a lie, meanwhile are dealing with a bomb threat.

“My hometown of Springfield is becoming a thirdworld (expletive) because you allowed the federal government to dump these (expletive) here,” the email stated. “We have Haitians eating our animals and then you lie and claim this is not happening when we see this happening. I’m here to send a message, I placed a bomb in the following locations…” it states, listing Springfield City Hall, Springfield Driver Exam Station, Ohio License Bureau Southside, Springfield Academy-Excellence and Fulton Elementary School as the places under threat.

According to Williamson, this person is not smug, elite or a jerk in a silo because they believe.
