    As someone who was raised catholic and went to catholic school, supporting MAGA is the least catholic thing you could do. That being said, Catholics are some of the best hypocrites out there. Spent years teaching me to “love everyone and judge not”, and then I watched them proceed to hate and judge everyone.

    What is the MAGA message?

    Nazis : cool

    Rape : no big deal

    Abortion : must be avoided at all costs, even death

    Felon : awesome, you’re my president

    LGBT : gross, you don’t need rights

    Illegals : concentra…deportation

    Minorities : you’re next

    Women : get in the kitchen

    Grifting the nation : good business

    Constitution : we like part of it

    Poor : slaves and pawns

    Did I miss anything?

      Catholics have a reputation. trump was a recuring theme in the Epstein files. Everything they say is a projected admission + they’re constantly accusing trans folks of being pedos.

      I’m not saying supporting maga is supporting systematic pedophilia, but I am saying the facts strongly imply it.

      They have the advantage of stupidity. Truth is complex and mostly requires longer sentences to convey all nunces, while lies are simple and can be conveyed by just a couple of words.

        You mean the answer to all of life’s problems isn’t just “immigrants”, “the gays”, or “woke”?

        Sounds like liberal lies to me!

      The right wing has embraced populism going back to the tea party movement in the late 2000s. The democrats are having a harder time embracing left wing populism because it scares away their big rich donors. That’s always been a factor but more so now that corporate donations and dark money in politics makes those rich people so much more important for fundraising.
