“We were staying at a hotel, and my parents were staying here with our children. And… I am a prophetic dreamer . That means I see things through my dreams before they happen, God speaks to me through my dreams and shows me things. So I wake up in a [inaudible] hotel and I have just had a dream that someone has tried to break into my home, murder me and light my house on fire.
“OK so I wake up and - poough! my heart’s beating, I’m sweating. So I wake up and I pray. And I use my authority in Jesus’ name and say ‘No, no-one is going to break into my home or murder me or light my house on fire or hurt me in any way, in Jesus’ name’. I pray, and I do what I know to do, and I get a piece and I go back to sleep.
“I wake up in the morning and I call home and my mom says, who’s standing right here, ‘You are not gonna believe what happened last night. You know the witches, the self-proclaimed witches who live two doors down? Well someone broke into their house, murdered her and lit the house on fire’.”

When a random person post this kind of stuff, it’s hilarious.
When a politician post this stuff, it’s kinda scary how someone this crazy managed to go that far in politics.
Mom actually said, 'self-proclaimed witches?'
How fucked up is that? I mean, i talk about the Catholic neighbor or the asshole neighbor, without once using 'self-proclaimed asshole' or 'demonstrable Catholic.'
I wake up in the morning and I call home and my mom
...got scared
I whistled for a cab and when it came near
I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8 the Pathetic Dreamer of Bel Air.
Oh Glob damn it, this nut's running for Secretary of State? I doubt someone like that can win here in California, but it bothers me that she's even running. I doubt she could get past the primary even, but the way our primaries work is extremely stupid, so 🤷. The most important thing I really want to say is DON'T MAKE ME THINK ABOUT THE NEXT ELECTION IT'S TOOOOOO SOOOOOON AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
Edit: Oh, and I forgot what I wanted to say before I noticed her political situation. It sounds like she's saying that because she prayed to God, he prevented her from being horrifically murdered and instead had some supposed witched horrifically murdered instead. Because, what, God was bored and just really needed to see someone burned to death?
- Sir, there’s a Rachel Hamm for you on line 5!
- All right, gimme Hamm on 5! Hold the Mayo!
News and police reports or it didn’t happen. A horrific home-invasion murder followed by arson would definitely make the national news (especially with the ‘Victims were witches!’ angle. The news media would eat that stuff up!).
On the upside, I doubt this kook would get far in CALIFORNIA. Cali’s kooks tend to lean more to the “New Age / Dharmic / Occult / Plastic Shaman” variety rather than “Rev. Jim-Bob and the Holy Roller Hoedown”, and even then, I think today’s Californian isn’t as open to the weird cults as they were before. There are red counties and Right-Wingers, but Cali is pretty solidly Blue. The Governor recall went down in flames and all is right with the world.
This weirdo would be more successful in Alabama, Mississippi or West Virginia.

Sad, really, and they can do so due to a very loud minority of citizens who think the same (while slowly decreasing their numbers due to Covid-denial because they’re all incredibly ignorant).
Fortunately, this is Cali-Blue-As-Hell-Fornia and there’s a very good chance this weirdo will go the way of Larry Elder.

She’s really the local GOP candidate? The most optimistic view is that Democrats infiltrated the Republican primary to sabotage it, because the hypothesis of real electors thinking she was the best of their party for this position is too depressing.
Well, she's apparently running, if this quote's description is right (and I can't be bothered to double-check because AAAAAAAAAA TOO EARLY) but she isn't *the* Republican candidate and nobody has done any voting yet, even in a primary. My guess is that Secretary of State will be on the ballot next year.
Now, the way our primaries work for most elected offices here is that everybody regardless of party affiliation is on the same ballot, and the top two people in the primary advance to the general election. Party's may officially endorse a candidate, but it doesn't really work out that there is an official nominee from any party (it's possible the two general election candidates could even be from the same party).
Any way, any random nut could run for this office, and proclaim themselves to be a Republican, and they'd be a Republican candidate for Secretary of State.

That depends very much on where in California you are. Major urban areas like LA or San Fransisco, sure. Get out into the more rural areas though, and things get pretty damn conservative, like out the desert areas near Death Valley where my grandparents used to live.
I guess you kind of said as much yourself here:
There are red counties and Right-Wingers, but Cali is pretty solidly Blue.
but I think most people have an impression of California as being some super-liberal hippy utopia/dystopia (depending on your worldview) and I think that's largely just people thinking the entire state is Hollywood (granted the bulk of our population is Los Angeles)
Anyway, you are right that this nut has little chance of winning in the general election.
and even then, I think today’s Californian isn’t as open to the weird cults as they were before.
I don't think even most of yesterday's Californians were really all that open to weird cults. No more than any other state anyway.
@Spacewyrm #102258
Fair enough, on all your points.
That said, I can’t see someone this crazy getting anywhere in Cali.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
