A far-right Georgia Republican gubernatorial candidate raised plenty of eyebrows with her unhinged campaign to rid the state of its "Satanic regime"—and she's getting trolled hard for it online.
Kandiss Taylor, who is believed to be a devotee of the QAnon conspiracy theory, staked her claim on the governorship by pledging to demolish a monument adherents of the conspiracy theory believe is Satanic.
Taylor announced these plans in a bizarre tweet and campaign video, seen below.
I am the ONLY candidate bold enough to stand up to the Luciferian Cabal.\n\nElect me Governor of Georgia, and I will bring the Satanic Regime to its knees\u2014 and DEMOLISH the Georgia Guidestones.\n\nJoin me in my fight to #TearThemDown!\n\nContribute: https://KandissTaylor.com/ExecutiveOrder10\u00a0\u2026pic.twitter.com/yoFWeNXUpM— Kandiss Taylor (@Kandiss Taylor) 1651501311
In the tweet, Taylor wrote:
"I am the ONLY candidate bold enough to stand up to the Luciferian Cabal."
"Elect me Governor of Georgia, and I will bring the Satanic Regime to its knees— and DEMOLISH the Georgia Guidestones."
"Join me in my fight to #TearThemDown!"
Naturally, most Georgians are not taking her seriously.
One replied to her with a perfectly hilarious fact-check.

The tweet read:
"Ma’am it was my understanding that Georgia had solved its devil problems with a fiddling contest."
The joke is a reference to the classic bluegrass song "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" by the Charlie Daniels Band in which Satan attempts to fulfill his soul-possession quota by challenging a man to a fiddling contest.
Taylor's bid for the governor's mansion hinges almost entirely on an obsession with so-called "Luciferian elites"—a thinly veiled reference to QAnon claims the world is run by Satan-worshipping pedophile Democrats and Hollywood Illuminati.
Her central focus is on dismantling the Georgia Guidestones, a monument erected in 1979 that is a sort of New Age 10 commandments written in eight different languages.
The monument is the focus of Taylor's much-ballyhooed "Executive Order #10."
The Satanic Elites have a plan, but so do we. \n\nTomorrow I will be releasing executive order #10. Stay tuned.pic.twitter.com/95Rbd6QOnl— Kandiss Taylor (@Kandiss Taylor) 1651417136
The monument has been a target of conspiracy theories practically from the moment it was erected.
But its New Age, multicultural focus made it a particularly obsessive focus for Satanism and globalism fixated followers of QAnon.
The only people we ever hear talking about the Georgia Guidestones are those who have gone deep down the QAnon rabbit hole. Kandiss Taylor is now promising to tear them down as part of her campaign for governor.pic.twitter.com/5R6VX6m5S2— Right Wing Watch (@Right Wing Watch) 1651502322
As Taylor explained to right-wing radio host Stew Peters when he applauded her Georgia Guidestones-focused campaign:
"We will not be kneeling ourselves to a globalist Luciferian regime that has overtaken our nation..."
"[W]e're going to take Georgia back from these globalist elitists."As you might guess, Taylor's message has drawn no shortage of snarky responses on Twitter.
The state tourism board describes the Guidestones as "family-friendly" and "suitable for all ages".\n\nThe Luciferians must have gotten to them too! Man, this goes deep ...pic.twitter.com/lgb2JKwLho— Tom Cronin (@Tom Cronin) 1651510448

Can you get me in touch with the Luciferian Cabal? Do you have their contact info? Gonna be honest that sounds tight— Whiskeyjack (@Whiskeyjack) 1651507987
actually kind of refreshing to see a lunatic running for governor on the platform of "i will fight the literal devil from hell", but i'm still gonna vote for the prince of flies and deceithttps://twitter.com/KandissTaylor/status/1521132865618071555\u00a0\u2026— Geppetto San Mart\u00edn (@Geppetto San Mart\u00edn) 1651671394
why does this tweet read like the speech a tragically delusional Final Fantasy villain gives you before their boss fight starts https://twitter.com/KandissTaylor/status/1521132865618071555\u00a0\u2026pic.twitter.com/dgbYUHXoNN— manny (@manny) 1651517698
Others were genuinely disturbed by Taylor's seeming break with reality.
Especially since "globalist" is a longstanding far-right byword for Jews based in centuries-old antiSemitic conspiracy theories.
Your policies are going to be based on the idea that there are interdimensional telepathic beings controlling people\u2019s minds and subverting their will\u2026 and you think you\u2019re a stable choice for governor?— MechaManZX (@MechaManZX) 1651503927
How does demolishing the Guidestones align with a belief in Free Speech? Do you believe in free speech? Or only speech you agree with?— JWo (@JWo) 1651504418

Taylor is currently polling at around 4% in the Georgia Republican primary in fourth place behind incumbent Governor Brian Kemp, his main challenger former U.S. Senator David Perdue and the "undecided" category.
Looks like Georgia's Luciferian cabal will live to fight another day.
