Marianne Williamson, the enigmatic author-turned-politician had a breakout performance at the first Democratic Presidential Debate in Miami, which was the first time most of the country was introduced to her incredible mind palace. She spoke like Katherine Hepburn on a rampage and challenged Trump to a battle of love vs. fear on the astral plane (or something). Her second debate proved equally as entertaining, as she took her more conservative Democratic competitors to task on policy, championed reparations, and disparaged "wonkiness" in the face of the "dark psychic force" Trump has unleashed on the country. She was, at least on an entertainment level, the star of the second debate, even if many don't take her seriously as a candidate. Her oddness yet again attracted memes and commentary from onlookers. Here are some of the best tweets from a night of Marianne-mania.

GILF
Marianne Williamson is the mom who’s cool with you having parties as long as she can corner one of your friends and tell them about the ghost she dated for a summer.

A Fair Compromise
I’m not sure Marianne Williamson should be President but I definitely want her to live in the White House and STARE at whoever is President.

It's worth noting that Marianne has written some eye-raising stances on medicine and mental health, and has allegedly told gay men they could cure HIV through the power of love, so that's something to consider.
