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.
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.
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.
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
