Why do Republicans worship the owl?

[Ban my account ffs!]

The demonic factor probably has to do with the Burney Relief.  Lilith, if it represents her, is evil.  Ishtar is goddess of love and fertility.   There are also parallels to Diana, goddess of the moon, the hunt, and childbirth (hence owls since they are nocturnal hunters).  Ishtar was also known as Eanna. they may as well be sacrificing the cares of the world symbolically to the owl as her messenger.

Either way they wouldn't do it if they didn't think symbolism mattered.

Diana ist kundig, die Nacht zu erhellen,
Wie labend am Tage ihr Dunkel uns kühlt.
Den blutigen Wolf und den Eber zu fällen,
Der gierig die grünenden Saaten durchwühlt,
Ist fürstliche Freude, ist männlich Verlangen,
Erstarket die Glieder und würzet das Mahl.
Wenn Wälder und Felsen uns hallend umfangen,
Tönt freier und freud'ger der volle Pokal!

Diana artfully enlightens the night
And provides refreshing, cooling shade by day.
To fell the bloody wolf and the ass
Whose greediness destroys the green crop
Is princely glee and manly desire
It strengthens the hunters and earns the meal
When forest and field surround us in majesty
The cup of victory is filled more freely and happily
