The campaign slogan writes itself.

Ron DeSantis: Putting Satanic chaplains in our schools since 2024

I'm sure his base will love that.
- You assume republicans are capable of holding themselves accountable.
  
  Nah, they modern day republican base operates on dog whistles. Near the next election, the Satanic Temple just needs to come out and thank DeSantis for his support with their effort on child outreach and how it wouldn't have been possible without DeSantis fighting for and passing the new laws.
Please donate to the Satanic Temple if you are able. They fight these important cases on our behalf. Christofascists need to be reminded that this isn't a christian nation and that all religions are equal(y bad).
- I'm Christian and have donated to the Satanic Temple. Separation of Church and State is good for both institutions. I want the church out of politics and I want politics out of the church.
  
  If there are politics in your church, it's not really a church... and the IRS would very much like to know
- Even the TST?
  
  Yes, it should even have to exist. But crazy judges think you have to be in a religion to be protected from other religions.
  
  Yes, I am a member of the TST, and we are going to corrupt children in public schools with the help of Christians who have opened the door to us. They also want to corrupt the children, but we're better at it, so we will win. Hail Satan!
  
  Unless they want to close that door again and respect separation of church and state. If they did that our whole plan would be ruined. Under no circumstances should they do that...
Purely technically speaking, isn't the Satanic Temple free to choose who is an official Priest of the Satanic Temple..? Could they make someone a Priest even if they don't volunteer for the role? It would make some fun headlines, I'm just sayin 👉👈
- That would be funny, but it violates the fourth tenet: "The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own."
  
  I mean the tenets really are more like suggestions otherwise more of us Satanic Temple Enjoyers would be vegan according to the first tenet lol
  
  "One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason."
- I don't think you can be made a priest non consensually from a legal perspective, and from just a PR angle, I think it would undermine a lot of what they're trying to do. It would be funny as fuck though.
  
  You could proclaim that a random person is Beelzebub reincarnate and worship them in a non-harassing manner, but honestly some edgelord would take it too far and cause a legal fuss.
  
  It'd be like when the Mormons were posthumously baptizing Jewish Holocaust victims, except maybe only 1/100 as awful and actually funny.

Be careful what you ask for, Ronny D.

- @[email protected] @thesatanictemple how's this for "shaking weak followers" @blenderbrit 😂 🔥
  
  I combine Blender WITH the politics you see. And then there's cheese.
I would worry about the safety of these chaplains.
@dannotdaniel @thesatanictemple DeSatanist's best friend!
Yo, can we get a radical socialist patriotic organization to sign up for this too. I want to see an IWW vs American Legion brawl in a high school. It'll be good for the history students.
