Marianne Williamson has suspended her campaign for president, saying she wants to spend more time with her cats and imaginary friends.

The lovable Hollywood self-help guru said her presidential one foundered when it turned out there were not as many crazy people in America as there seemed to be when she was sitting around watching TV news.

In remarks made to a band of angels coming for to carry her home, Williamson said,

when I watched NBC or CNN, I saw commentators so entirely detached from reality I thought to myself, wow, if I could bring all those delusional people together, I could really win this thing.

But it turned out once you turn off the television, there actually is such a thing as reality in which I never stood a chance.

During her campaign, Williamson declared Donald Trump had unleashed a dark psychic force on the nation which she would cast out with the power of love.

But on further study, she discovered that what had appeared to her to be a dark psychic force was actually a booming economy and what she had thought was the power of love was just a string of meaningless words coming out of her mouth.

Among Williamson's policy proposals was a plan to distribute between $200 and $500 billion in reparations for slavery.

In the event, she could not actually summon the spirit of slaves back from the dead with her Ouija board.

Williamson promised to simply bury the money in the ground where it would do more good than just giving it to living people for no discernible reason.

One of the highlights of Williamson's campaign was the time she was caught on a hot mic expressing surprise at the fact that though she was a lefty, conservatives were nice to her, where his left wingers were vicious and lied about her all the time and actually seemed as godless as the right says they are.

But after that moment of lucidity, she slipped back into her fantasy world, also known as California.

Trigger warning, I'm Andrew Clayvin and this is the Andrew Clayvin Show.

You know, I actually like Mary Ann Williamson. She actually seems like a really sweet and sincere person.

I couldn't resist teasing her and I couldn't help feeling that her insistent attachment from the way the world actually works represents something central to leftist thought, namely a willful commitment to fantasy over reality.

Take the coverage of Iran this last week in their efforts to make Trump the bad guy journalist claimed that government stage demonstrations over the death of terrorist leader, Cosm Soleimani, represented an Iranian nation united in grief over their beloved military leader.

Then when Iranians continued their ongoing protests against the government and against Soleimani too, the media claimed the regime had squandered all the love and unity by their accidental downing of a commercial jet, which was somehow Trump's fault.

It's ridiculous. The Iranians are oppressed by a feckless terrorist regime and they've been protesting for a long time even at their cost of their lives.

I mean the Iranian government will kill them but they still go out there and protest them, which will take a lot of courage and a lot of commitment to freedom.

But if the press admits any of that, they have to admit that Donald Trump is on the side of the angels on this one fighting evil oppressors who we can't transform and they're just not going to do that.

This is just one example of what really seems to me a left wing way of life and thought. They claim that men who think their women become actual women and you're a horrible person if you tell them it's just not true.

They claim that socialism works and only greed would keep you from saying it's just not true.
