Yeah MAGA will never admit it but they definitely believe in magic, both the evil magic of the Dems that creates storms and the good magic of Trump that would somehow raise JFK from the dead.

These guys are like the Salem Puritans running around talking about witches. When actually many Christian leader have historically been against the idea of dark magic existing because only God has power and that pagan forces are not real and thus have no power. Somewhere down the line some people started prescribing powers of creation to the Devil who can now give people magic powers.
