@TheRaDR Hi :) I was raised Pentecostal, in a tiny cult in Louisiana. My grandfather was a missionary.

(Yes, I've reclaimed the Judaism from the other, Sephardic, not-Pentecostal side of the family.)

Anyway, a multi-part answer because it's too long for one tweet.

@TheRaDR The White Supremacy Gospel believes that angels are constantly in Africa (and South America, specifically Brazil.)

They are engaged in "spiritual warfare" a la the The Book of Daniel. They can be summoned from this great warfare as needed. 2/

@TheRaDR The reason they hang out in those two places are because Black people have especially nefarious demons attached to them - ones they brought with them when they "came to America" and that Whiteous people have been in battle with ever since. 3/

@TheRaDR Jazz? African demons. Elvis? African SEX demons. Rock and Roll? African Demons of Rebellion.

Etc, ad infinitum.

So she was summoning in angels from those places very specifically to combat the Black votes being counted. 4/

@TheRaDR TL;DR: Racism. It's always racism. /end

@TheRaDR Oh wait: the guy pacing? Not enough context to tell but it's possible he was "doing a Jericho march" which is where you march around the church proclaiming victory so spiritual walls fall down because there is literally *nothing* supersessionism won't claim.
