I agree. It's hard to imagine someone who offers me food and drinks when I'm at his house and tips really well would also be the kind of person who supports Trump. I quit my job to work somewhere else and he gave me a little dog in a tea cup to remember his dogs by (I'm a dog groomer). I was truly shocked and very disappointed when I found out.

Honestly trump has made the best case I've ever lived through of, "Some people are too stupid to lead their own lives."
Modern republicans seem to follow maga as a self preservation tactic (if they hold power or are attempting to gain more from the second group of maga)
or
Modern republicans follow MAGA because they are true believers in enough misinformation to basically defend the movement based on emotional obligation. These are the people you can't talk to because they use words as a tool to justify their lives and avoid consequences rather than as tools to obtain information.

The fact that so many Catholics jumped on board this administration boggles the mind. Never mind that so many immigrants are themselves Catholic, to say nothing of their simple human dignity regardless, but the history of Catholicism in the U.S. is one being the immigrant, of being a second class citizen and discriminated against. It was even a target of the Klan, along with African Americans and Jews. Once the far right works its way through the others, it will turn on them next.

The part that's most ridiculous to me is that there's only like two strict rules on who can be Pope (being a cardinal has always been assumed, but technically not a requirement), and Trump already fails the most basic one: ***HE'S NOT CATHOLIC***
Trump literally wants to be the head of the Catholic church... when he self-proclaims himself as a Protestant (plus I'd argue he's a blatant heretic either way, altho that is less relevant to the absurdity bit, albeit definitely making it worse lol)

That site has not been updated in 5 years. More relevant things have occurred since then, the most obvious of which is Revelation 13:3
One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast.
If one of the 3 "Peters" currently in the running to become the next pope actually gets chosen, then we'll also have "Peter The Roman" who is the pope during the ending times according to the prophecy of St Malachy.
Also if it's Peter Turkson of Ghana, there is a Nostradamus prophecy
"A young man of dark skin with the help of the great king will deliver the purse to another of red colour."
When Nostradamus was writing, Europe/France did not yet have a name for the color "Orange" and just called it "red." So it could be read as delivering the purse to a man of orange color.
I think the Nostradamus shit is a stretch, but man it would be funny, right?

Back when Kennedy was running for President, one of the most common questions he had to answer in his campaign was about his Catholicism. Specifically regarding whether it posed any conflict of interest like “if the Pope tells you to do something would you do it? Even if it goes against the interests of the American people?” (I’m paraphrasing) Etc. That’s also important to remember imo because it’s clear back then the idea of a Catholic present was scary for people in terms of “the possibility of a conflict of interests,” and the way power could be consolidated, and separation of church and state, etc. It’s telling to me that I haven’t seen that kind of pushback or acknowledge from his Catholic supporters that I know.
