Mystical city where hippy locals now love TRUMP after
shunning 'untrustworthy' Democrats
Spiritualists and mystics in an Arizona city best known
for its hippie subculture are increasingly feeling at
home among the MAGA faithful.
The so-called new age Sedona hippies are openly supporting
Donald Trump at their shops and meditation centers amid
a statewide shift towards conservative politics.
Framed photographs of the president are proudly displayed
alongside spiritual relics, such as Buddha statues and
religious placards, The Arizona Republic reports.
Some are even capitalizing on Trump's policy decisions,
with one psychic having held a '10% tariff sale' on crystals
in April after the president declared Liberation Day and
vowed to tax most foreign goods.
Spiritualists, often perceived to be weary of politics,
are publicly shunning Democrats for alleged 'mistrust'
and becoming what has been dubbed 'right-wing-engaged'.
The New Age spiritualists, already known to oppose government, were
reportedly infuriated by instructions to stay indoors and get
vaccinated as this 'explicitly went against how they believe
health and immunity work', Crockford said.
. . .
This is rather significant. This would be the last
group you'd think would dump the Dems - but seems
the Dems got (and remain) just SO bad that Trump
looks really good by comparison.
Admittedly, they should have got the vax ... can't
chant your way out of a big Covid infection. Alas
it was the lack of choice/options over the past
years that really seems to have pissed them off.
Also, Trump is nominally 'religious' - while the
Dems see anyone 'spiritual' as enemies of the State.
