“The system that let you down by allowing me—the freaking transsexual Satanist anarchist—be your sheriff candidate is the same system I’m attacking. I’m sorry, and I know it hurts to hear, but that system is a lie. The entire thing is a lie. It’s broken from beginning to end, and my existence as your sheriff candidate is merely how this reality was thrown into your face.”

– Aria DeMezzo, following a surprise victory in a Republican primary for sheriff in Cheshire County, New Hampshire
