The US left-wing political content is inappropriate and off-putting. I am here strictly for magickal purposes.
Do you think people don't do magick for political purposes?
Most of that isn't US related, but it is there for those who wish to use color in their political leaning spellwork which many people do indeed perform. If there is some right-wing stuff related to pink that we're missing, we hope someone will let us know as we certainly have no wish to leave anyone out or give the impression that we play favorites.
