Historians of the future should note that before Democrats gave up and attempted a coup to reinstall Barack Obama as president in 2020, they fielded about twenty profoundly eccentric candidates.

Following the first debate, the candidate whose name was searched online the most, according to Google, was 66-year-old author and New Age guru Marianne Williamson.

While not afforded many opportunities to speak during the debate, she went viral with a closing statement that addressed Trump directly and got metaphysical:

I have an idea about Donald Trump: Donald Trump is not going to be beaten just by insider politics talk. He’s not going to be beaten just by somebody who has plans. He’s going to be beaten by somebody who has an idea what the man has done. This man has reached into the psyche of the American people and he has harnessed fear for political purposes.

So, Mr. President—if you’re listening—I want you to hear me, please: You have harnessed fear for political purposes and only love can cast that out. So I, sir, I have a feeling you know what you’re doing. I’m going to harness love for political purposes. I will meet you on that field, and sir, love will win.

As George W. Bush remarked about Trump’s inauguration speech, “That was some weird [stuff].” The co-creator of Twin Peaks tweeted a hilarious video of her remarks set to that famously surreal show’s theme music.
