Pope Francis was widely considered one of the most progressive popes in modern history.

    I wonder if there’s a country or group of countries that will save Americans that are still decent human beings?

      The way things are going, it’s getting harder and harder to see the good in America. I know not everyone is like what we see in the news, but there’s clearly enough to allow things to keep happening. I feel sorry for the regular people in America.

          I never understand this view because most people I know are absent from any thought aside from consuming and materialistic escapism. Basically no one I know doesn’t support trump.

          Ignorance is evil. It doesn’t take education to be a basic decent human being.

      Having seen how the world treats Russian citizens, no.

      But that is later, after things get worse. Fur now there are plenty of options for those who have money, or are brave, or talented or some combination. Everyone else here will suffer through it

          There are dozens of us, I’m thinking when it gets really bad I’ll start a twelve step support group on how to deal with the fallout

      I’m guessing that this is pretty straightforward politicking. A lot of the populist-right crowd in the US has historically been adamantly Protestant. Catholics were also a big issue for the KKK, too.

      Her district is Georgia’s 14th:

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia's_14th_congressional_district

      Hmm.

      Yeah, it’s mostly not very Catholic, but Whitfield County is a notable exception. Gordon County, which is also somewhat-Catholic, isn’t in her district.

      https://www.dot.ga.gov/DriveSmart/MapsData/Documents/Statewide/Counties_Map_122812.pdf

      https://i.imgur.com/fpor3gq.png

      Looks like Whitfield County has a population of 103,687, so maybe an eighth of her constituents.

      https://www.politico.com/2024-election/results/georgia/

      And it looks like that county had the weakest support for Trump of all the counties in her district (though it was still pretty overwhelmingly pro-Trump, 71.9% in favor of Trump versus 27.5% for Harris).

      EDIT: Might irritate some of the MAGA crowd elsewhere in the US, though. And probably not the sort of thing that’d go over well with the right in Poland…
