Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.
Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.

I'd recommend doing some research into the 1960 election. JFK's election as a Catholic was a BFD. Same shit happened with Biden, just a bit more subdued.
These are not people who really believe that ideological differences are a problem; they just don't want to cede any control.
ehhhhhhh.
the maga people in government? definitely agree.
the maga voters? just take a look at all the faces being eaten by leopards.
it does seem to be true that the right seems to have less in-fighting and so there will be plenty who don’t care about the catholic thing.
and then you find the few people that have a big hate boner for catholics for some reason.
Catholics seem pretty tame to me.
Internally they're as divided as the US along the same ideological lines. There are plenty of ultraconservatives and a good number of liberals too, though my experience is that the more liberal ones are now either non-practicing or atheist.
Nothing has helped the atheism cause more than Catholic schools.
