Earlier this week, President Donald Trump was asked about the QAnon conspiracy theory in a White House press briefing.
When told that the conspiracy theory hinges on the premise that he is saving the world from a secret group of satanic pedophiles and cannibals, Trump asked if that was supposed to be a bad thing.
Claims that a satanic cult is operating from within the Democratic party are more common among Trump's base than some may believe.
As the Democratic National Convention concluded, Pro-Trump Pastor Greg Locke tweeted what he believed to be a subliminal satanic message within the convention's logo.
I suppose it's “just a coincidence" that the #DemConvention logo turned sideways has the EXACT same design and measurements as another familiar logo. Satanism is alive and well. pic.twitter.com/zkyuNjOxmg

The tweet came only days after Locke described the Democratic convention as a "witches coven."
People soon responded to Locke's hysteria with "satanic messages" of their own.

Well, would you look at that. And you don't even have to rotate the logo. pic.twitter.com/yR28CcQzq1

Locke made headlines last month when he said that his congregation—located in Tennessee—would not be social distancing or wearing masks.
At the time, 130 thousand Americans had died of the virus.
We will not shut down church services. We will not social distance at church. We will not require masks. We will not apologize. We will not contribute to the false narrative of fear and control. We will continue to grow. We will not bow. #IndependenceDay #NoMask

Someone jokingly claiming to be the designer of the logo trolled Locke especially hard.
Hi @pastorlocke,
You have a keen eye, but as the designer of the D20 convention logo, you missed my hidden message. It's not the Satanic pentagram.
If you zoom in 1600% on the "i" in Democratic, I've hidden your unpaid child support complaint.
Please pay your child support. https://t.co/quDboqF9hV pic.twitter.com/nJ7QWsNife

Locke soon responded.
The real hidden message is your ridiculous slander. That's the dumbest thing on the internet. It was proven false. It's laughable. And if you really did design it, tell me it wasn't purposeful. Graphic designers have purpose. This was not random.

People continued to roast the pastor.

In 2008, my professor walked into the classroom and slammed his books on the table and said, "You know what? I'm the anti-christ. My mailbox here is 666. That's about the same amount of so-called evidence as people have for calling Obama a devil worshipper." https://t.co/nQ9QKYq49w

Locke recently threatened a Dunkin Donuts employee for asking him to wear a mask in the establishment.
