Laura Loomer lamented that the new pope ‘is anti-Trump, anti-MAGA, pro-open Borders, and a total Marxist like Pope Francis,’ adding that it’s ‘GROSS’ that he now leads the Catholic Church
It didn’t take long for right-wing media figures and MAGA provocateurs to cry out in rage over the election of Robert Prevost as Pope Leo XIV after it was revealed that he’d publicly criticized JD Vance and expressed sympathy for immigrants and George Floyd.
Despite feeling national pride over the fact that the Chicago-born Prevost has become the first American pope in history, conservative pundits and Trump loyalists fumed over the “WOKE MARXIST POPE” and complained that he is “worse than Francis,” referencing the previous pontiff known for his progressive values.
Even before the “dark horse” American cardinal was elected the 267th pope, former Trump chief strategist Steve Bannon warned about Prevost’s views, claiming that he would be a poor choice for the MAGA movement.
Whatever is a “poor choice” for the MAGA movement is a great choice in my book. Even if it’s about a religious figure.
I just want to add. Anyone that ACTUALLY FOLLOWS the teachings of the bible, cannot with good conscious support Donald Trump.
I would be surprised if there are more than a couple hundred people in the US who have ever actually read the bible.
That’s just silly. Many millions likely have. But I get your point.
Amen!
This is PR to try and make the new pope attractive to young and leftist people. He’s nothing new or progressive, he’s a pedo enabler who told his priests to reject the law and avoid speaking to police investigating his clergy’s child abuses. He’s garbage, just like the rest of them
That’s part for the course for the Catholics. For them their dogma is over the law. You gotta take what you can from these guys.
A pedo enabler who happens to advocate for the poor is still not good, but also not as bad as a fascist-enabler, pro-rich, pedo enabler.
I love how they lost their shit about an American speaking Italian, in Italy, to a shit load of Italians.
The American nationalism has truly rotted their brains.
MAGA would crucify Jesus all over again
Crucify? Oh, no, no, no.
They would have him arrested and detained by plain-clothes ICE agents, held in a Texas concentration camp where he would be bundled with the “illegals,” then shipped off to El Salvador to be starved and worked to death… Twice.
Jesus? That woke ass dude who believes in hand outs (feed the poor), pro-DEI (love thy neighbor), anti-capital punishment (preaches forgiveness)?
Don’t forget brown.
Woke Marxist Pope? Well shit, I just might start going to church again
Same here lol
I hope the Swiss Guard are on their toes. I guarantee there are crazy fascists only too willing to try their hand at assassination.
MAGA would melt down no matter who they picked because everything maga is doing right now is the opposite of what Jesus would do, and whoever is the pope is going to criticize maga for being terrible humans.
Pope 1: MAGA Bad!
Pope 2: MAGA Bad!
Highly Religious MAGA: Pope Bad!
Gotta love it.
Maybe the church knows better than to have a concordat with the nazis this time.
Maybe.
Someone that does this to herself calling anything else “gross”… 😂 🤣
The scary thing is that she is only 31 years old, but she now has the face of a 60 year old who’s desperately trying to look 45.
I don’t know who her surgeon was, but she should sue.
Wow I didn’t know she looked human at one point.
Welp, that right-hand photo just introduced me to my new sleep paralysis demon.
Did she show up at the plastic surgeon’s office with a picture of the doll from saw and say “this is what I want”?
MAGA ISN’T A MOVEMENT IT’S A REGIME.
He should excommunicate them all.
According to headlines lately, MAGA melts down fucking constantly. I hypothesize that they’re actually just liquid. They aren’t ‘melting down’, this is just their natural state.
They are professional victims, even when they have control over all three branches of government.
According to headlines everyone melts down.
MAGA needs to learn new words. Radical leftist marxist communists (which are all contradictory things) is pretty fucking stupid.
MAGA? Learn?
Contradictory? Not at all. Radical just means opposed to the status quo, “leftist” is pretty broad but is generally used to mean “left of the DNC” by politically engaged people and “left of Ronald Reagan” by MAGA. Marxism is a specific foundational political philosophy that identifies and idealizes a communist society.
Just because the monkeys on typewriters don’t know the definitions doesn’t mean the words don’t go together.
I wouldn’t consider communism leftist whatsoever
Well that’s just wildly misunderstanding political definitions, can’t help you much there bud. (You probably think of all communism as Stalinist Authoritarian Tankie Communism with a paranoid autocrat but there’s a whole spectrum in the anarchy/libertarian direction that really puts the “community” in “communism”)
I understand that there is IDEALISM that would put communism in more of a leftist field, but in practice it never goes that way so I have a hard time with those definitions being anything remotely close to reality vs pipedream idealism.
Very good! I see this as confirmation that they elected the right man for the job 😊
