LIBERAL WITCHES


Book Description

Jezebel Warning: The MINUTE she gets an edge she'll take over despite your distress. When I went from an echo-chamber of adoring sycophants to a dungeon of liberal feminists I saw the radical difference. Satan is jealous, it's the devil in all of us. But life is hell when faced with it especially in feminists. Instantly the women sized me up and squeezed me out. "Have nothing to do with her" they mocked. They target a scapegoat and won't let her up her entire life. Even after death grudges remain/eternal strife. You hear of older sister wives beating the younger ones up. It's women so how could we doubt it. Cover design by Karen Kellock, Inner art by Fox Design and Blaze Goldburst
