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.
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.
and the summer heat didn’t even arrive yet! what will they do, will they evaporate a few months later?
They are professional victims, even when they have control over all three branches of government.
According to headlines everyone melts down.
If they don’t get slammed.
The natural state of the MAGAT, is a smelly shart.
Are they actually saying “Marxist” now? That’s new.
They’ve been saying that for years.
“In case you’re wondering why they picked an American to be a Pope for the first time in history,” MAGA influencer Vince…
Lol, the pope that literally just died was from Argentina, you dumbass
I don’t understand the point you’re making. The new pope is the first American pope.
Because for you “American” = USA and for the person you replied to “American” = “American continent”, which, of course, makes sense for any non-murican.
Doubt it. If so he could clearly figure it out from context. He was being pedantic and argumentative
But “American” is the primary demonym for a person from the United States. I means both in varying contexts, and you’re being disingenuous, I assume, if claiming you didn’t know that was the intended use here.
US Americans are Americans. Argentinians are also Americans
No, he’s not. The last Pope was American too
He wasn’t American in the sense that it was used. Stop being so willfully obtuse. “American” is the primary demonym for people from the United States in addition to meaning people from the Americas.
When people shout “Death to America”, they aren’t talking about Argentinians and we all know it.
Someone that does this to herself calling anything else “gross”… 😂 🤣
Wow I didn’t know she looked human at one point.
The consequences of leaving the car window open for its buff and shine.
The next stage:
Welp, that right-hand photo just introduced me to my new sleep paralysis demon.
is that the same person?!
Asked rhetorically or not… Indeed it is… Many such comparison examples abound. 🙄 🤡
I think the one on the right is from some The Purge sequel.
/s
I searched around for this and the one on the right was described in a few places as “heavily photoshopped”. She may look a bit odd after all the plastic surgery, but as far as I could see she doesn’t usually look quite this odd.
I don’t know about photoshopped. I would imagine that there’s a lot of heavy (and misguided) makeup going on, and I don’t think the lighting is doing her any favors, but she legitimately looks significantly different from her pre-surgery appearance.
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.
Beauty comes from the inside.
In her case, that’s even worse.
Kimberly Guilfoyle also looked attractive before. It’s something with those people that think this is an attractive look.
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”?
Jeff the killer lookin ass
So I guess the media is too lame to say crash out like the kids these days, so they’re overusing “melt down” instead these days.
Gonna turn it into SLAMMED and devalue the word.
This Election was RIGGED! GOD chose TRUMP! The VATICAN is WOKE! This does NOT Represent Us!
-People who want the Bible to Be the Rule Of The Land!
Protestants hate the pope. And Catholics. Most of the religious right are Protestants.
When you start calling every leader of the Catholic Church a Marxist, you’ve seriously lost the plot. The American right is ridiculous.
They should cut to the chase and call Jesus a Marxist.
Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. Luke 12:33
Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” Mark 10:21
“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ Matthew 25:34-40
Why would they? They already rewrote him as they wanted to: white, blond, freedom, and capitalism something or other.
Ah yes, supply side Jesus

I always see excuses from them like “that should be the role of charity” “that should be people’s choice, not forced on them by the government” etc…
It’s always sad/funny to me that they are ok with forcing the bad parts of their faith in us via the government, but reject the good parts that most non theists would support
Yeah, it was Ohio Catholics (and their momey) that put JD Vance in the running for VP in the first place. People are putting a lot of faith that this Cardinal wrote his own tweets. I wouldn’t be opposed to an anti-Trump pope but to call him one is counting chickens before they hatch. Let’s see what he does when Trump puts some pressure on him.
Peter thiel was the true power behind JD
Trump putting pressure on the pontifex maximus? I’m not a catholic but I’d say that might be somewhat difficult but certainly interesting. You are aware that the pope is head of his own state and doesn’t give a fuck about American legislation or sanctions? The US can’t even invade Vatican State without triggering article 5 of the NATO manifesto which might cause even more interesting political turbulences. Specifically with the more strictly catholic NATO members first of all, obviously, Italy.
Is Sweden a NATO country? Trump is demanding they do all kinds of dumb crap. Is Greenland a sovereign country? Trump says he hasn’t ruled out military action to take it. Let’s be real about one thing: the day after the pope died, Trump posted an AI picture of himself as pope. If this pope speaks out against him, Trump will fuck with him. That dementia riddled felon don’t give a fuck. And when he does, I hope the pope holds his ground.
A pope could make a lot of ground pushing antiabortion and anticontraception and anti-lgbtq policy in exchange for support. It was Ohio Catholics that got Vance his VP seat. So hopefully Pope Leo isn’t a “postliberal” catholic.
Nonsense. You seem to think the USA is everywhere and you don’t understand the difference between states and individuals. Trump has zero authority in Vatican state. The pope does not leave Vatican state and “go home” anywhere. Not ever, except for official visits. Trump can fuck wall outlets or squirrels but he has absolutely no viable way to screw with the pope - he can’t even threat to sanction the Vatican as he did with Sweden and whoever else, because the do not export anything. He can’t freeze his payments because he literally owns nothing. Right: the pope does not recieve a salary and does not have any personal belongings. He doesn’t need to pay for anything (there are people in his entourage who will do that for him) he does not need to own something, the Vatican will provide anything the pope requires.
Lol OK, I guess God will protect the Pope from Trump lmfaoooo
Hell, by the time you’re a bishop the catholic church will put you in any allied country they feel like and if there’s nowhere else to go the Vatican can house you for life. The pope is basically a citizen of catholicism.
It was Peter theil who got Vance his seat, not Ohio catholics. Ohio isn’t a swing state anymore
Popes choose their own name. Pope Leo seems to have been a specific selection.
St. Leo the Great was a Roman Catholic Pope who reigned from 440 to 461. He is remembered for his strong defense of papal authority, his theological writings on Christ’s humanity and divinity, and his role in meeting with Attila the Hun and the Vandals to prevent them from destroying Rome.
Did he specify already that he chose to name himself after St. Leo the Great? I’m probably out of the loop, I thought we were still guessing which one of the previous 13 popes Leos he’s named after.
The only other noteworthy Pope Leos were X, who was a patron of the arts, and XIII, who was a large supporter of the working class. The latter is also a possible influence given what he had done during his missionary work in Peru.
…wouldn’t be opposed to an anti-Trump pope
Dude that’s the only kind of Pope I can get behind.
By the time they’re Pope, they’re too old to be a choir boy.
I mean, this pope is still all about protecting priests who got behind small children.
Better you behind the Pope than…
I mean they are the original globalists and Jesus was literally a communist so…. I don’t know, they might be right. The church just doesn’t like to telegraph it too much.
Trump, who was almost certainly unaware of the new pope’s criticisms of him and his immigration policies in the past, sent Leo XIV his well wishes after he was made the head of the Catholic Church.
Imagine having to be the staffer to explain to Trump that the “first ever” American pope that he’s hoping will somehow sign on to his sacrilegious Anti-Christ bullshit is actually going to be the ultimate nightmare for him to deal with.
Pope Francis on steroids. Pope Leo XIV has a record of being pro-workers’ rights. He was the exact right pick for pope to stem the rising fascist tide that’s trying to co-opt religion.
Is he? Every article I’ve seen about him is about how he dislikes the queer community and “alternative lifestyles”. Dude seems like a con
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/08/nyregion/pope-leo-xiv-lgbtq-gay.html
It looks like there were some negative comments in 2012 and basically nothing since. I hope Leo XIV continues Francis’s strides toward acceptance.
Leo XIV has been solidly pro-workers rights, anti-racism, critical of the Trump administration, and, perhaps most importantly, very supportive of immigrant rights. He is solidly progressive on the vast majority of issues.
We all know that the growing fascist movement will eventually target trans people and gay people for jailing and rendition without due process, but the people they’re actively doing that to right now are immigrants. Having a pope who is a strong ally for immigrant rights is a very good thing.
If this nightmare continues to play out the way the MAGA Nazis want it to, I don’t think a pope who actually cares about human beings and their basic rights would turn a blind eye to abuses to the LGBT community. Let’s all hope for the sake of everyone that it doesn’t come to that.
They are actively targeting trans people right now.
Immigrants are being loaded into planes and sent to gulags in El Salvador with zero due process even after courts order they be brought back. I’m not saying trans people aren’t being targeted, but I’m not aware of it happening at that level or something similar. If they are, please educate me.
Targeting immigrant rights are how they’re testing taking away everyone’s rights. Eventually, it will be anyone who disagrees with them. That’s how fascist takeovers work.
Hmm, someone call maga a waaaaahmbulance, it’s nappy time.
Not a huge fan of the Catholic Church, but hardly a surprise, amerikkka’s not exactly known for being very friendly towards Catholics anyways.
The Catholic Church may be corrupt and reactionary and have friendships with fascists in its past, but right now it’s less extreme and less fascist than MAGA.
Ain’t that something
he’s homophobic and a pedophile enabler so they’ll come to like him soon enough
He’s not homophobic enough for them, and if he didn’t rape a child himself he’s got nothing on Trump.
Do maga consider themselves catholic?
In many parts of the country, the word “Christians” is so associated with Protestantism, it doesn’t even include Catholics. “Are you Christian or are you Catholic?” is actually something you might hear in many parts of the South and Midwest.
JD Vance does.
No. Catholics are often more left leaning. The with and Midwest are predominantly Protestants - they hate Catholics
Shitty Republican Christians are upset at a Christian who actually attempts to live by the teachings of Christ.
Go figure.
it was Catholics who delivered the White House for President Trump,” he concluded.
Oh snap! I can blame the Catholics for all this?
Catholics, Israelis, and Palestinian immigrants! Gen Z! Undereducated white men. It’s a grab bag of blame.
YOU get a blame, and YOU get a blame… EVERYONE gets a blame!
Everyone is awful.
The people who voted for him.
The people who didn’t vote for him.
The people who didn’t vote at all.
Everyone is awful.
Sounds like the next Lego Movie theme song.
Everyone is awful
Everyone is cruel and they’re all really mean
Everyone is awful
And I want to scream
b-b-b-but! That wacko right-wing twitter influencer said it was the Papists!
We got a pope, they got a cope.
It’s stupid and meaningless, but hooo boy it gave me a whole 0.2 seconds of dopamine saying that.
