    The single greatest witch hunt in American history, of course, occurred in 1692, not 2017: http://nyer.cm/PrW7P7w pic.twitter.com/lAFu786rXc

        If Trump were in charge in 1692 a great deal more women he found "threatening" would have been executed under this guise.

        Seems most religions barring Hindus & Greeks had only male Gods so not surprised if intelligent females were targeted as witches as tipping+

        The scales towards better doctors ,teachers or philosophers went against the male dominated society hence the barbarity 😕

        The witch hunts were very popular in Europe. Mostly midwives were accused of being witches by doctors. Spectral Evidence was legal.

        Are you suggesting that an actual witch hunt was the greatest witch hunt in American history? Seems a bit too obvious! #Trump
