just here reading about project 2025 stuff and if i understand correctly, the head of project 2025 / the heritage foundation is kevin david roberts… a catholic

don’t know if this is true for most conservative christians in the usa, but in my experience a lot of them really hate catholics for some reason?

many maga conservatives are hypocrites or just refuse to believe any fact that doesn’t align with their worldview.

but if you know any maga people that really hate catholics for some reason, you should inform them that project 2025 has catholic ties and ask them how they feel about trump implementing a project led by a catholic.

i don’t believe this is enough to destroy maga (not sure if i believe anything is 🫠) and i really don’t think it’ll be a big deal to 99% of maga. but hey, if you know a maga person who REALLY hates catholics, spread the word…

    So, you want to know what will happen to those with hate boners when they find it? They’ll equivocate. Immediately. I guarantee it. One moment you’ll have them foaming at the mouth about “those damn Catholics”, then you reveal this and immediately they’ll start coming up with excuses. Or pivot to how Muslims are so much worse or some other bullshit.

    My point is that this tactic will not work. Only chance is if you can develop a rapport with the person you’re attempting to deprogram, and that will take genuine compassion towards that individual. But, unfortunately, that’s becoming more difficult every day. But the moment you reveal yourself as somebody they’re brainwashed to see as their enemy, everything you say will be rejected.

      oh, trust me, i know.

      “many maga conservatives are hypocrites or just refuse to believe any fact that doesn’t align with their worldview.” this was in reference to that.

      there’s a minority it works on, this is meant for people who have that minority in their lives.

      he’s a pedophile and they still love him. he is a rapist and they love him. he implements policies to hurt them and they love him. he’s a rich city boy and they love him.

      most of them can’t be changed, i agree.
