Opinion on Javier Milei

I’m not a fan of the things he has said about the Holy Father. His actions as president seem to me to be mixed. On one hand I understand that Argentina had a issue with a huge bureaucracy. He slowed down the inflation as well. But he criticized for climate change denial, promoting legislation of organ trade. I’m not sure if anyone is an Argentinian here or if anyone understands economics and politics to a professional degree, but I’m interested.

If the unborn were an ethnic group instead of a developmental stage...

Word replacement:

"Unborn" and "fetus" replaced with "jew"

"Abortion" and "abort" replaced with "terminate"

In 2021 President Joe Biden passed legislation that revoked restrictions on using US Tax dollars to fund and promote the termination of jews in other countries. US tax dollars can now legally be used to terminate jews and spread the movement of terminating jews globally.

Globally 60+ million jews are terminated each year.

That is 10x as many jews as the entire Nazi led Holocaust every year.

In the USA, 600,000+ jews are legally terminated each year.

Kamala Harris insists that there should be no restrictions on the termination of jews in the USA and would support a reversal of the Dobbs decision reinstating the termination of jews as a constitutional right.

Donald Trump insists that the treatment of the jews should be left to the states. He does not plan to ban the termination of jews nationally. However, his VP, JD Vance, has indicated that he would support a national ban on the termination of jews.

Democrat politicians contributed $3 million to promote the termination of the jews in 2022.

Republican politicians contributed $1,050 to promote the termination of the jews in 2022.

Vice President Harris targets Trump as she rallies for right to terminate jews in Wisconsin

Who do you recommend voting for and why?

Delete if not allowed. If it is allowed please, everyone, be kind.

I'm having some doubts in all directions and as to whether I will be voting and in what way in a couple weeks as none of the candidates are exactly...great.

So I'm asking the title, who do you recommend voting for and why?

The Case for Every Catholic to Support Trump?

Like King David, Trump is not perfect. Yet King David was Chosen by God to lead His People to create His Kingdom on Earth as it is in Heaven. Trump is our King David Chosen by God to lead us from the globalists and democrats that want to put us in chains by creating an enslaved police state. They are Goliath and Trump is our David that will defeat Goliath(globalists). Trump is the modern day David.

“The Catholic Church corporation” fallacy

I came across this when I was visiting family that I haven’t spoken to in a while. The conversation naturally came to a point where I clarified that I was Catholic. The family said all the usual stuff, about how evil the church is and how they only want to gain money and power. The usual. When I argued that the church is the single largest international charity they replied “But whyyyyyy are they doing that? So that their detractors look like assholes!” I looked at him like any person would and asked, “how’d you figure that.” Which prompted the following argument. “You gotta look at it from “the corporation” side of things. What’s the corporation of the Catholic Church getting out of this? That pretty much explains all of their behavior.” I’m not going to lie, in the heat of the moment I had no idea how to respond. Something felt very wrong about this argument but I couldn’t articulate it in a way that made sense. I left that conversation confused and unsure of myself. It only occurred recently what happened. This is a very slick version of circular reasoning. It doesn’t look like it in the moment because the argument bypasses the circle by arguing that the premise makes sense if you start your reasoning by assuming the premise is fact. When I next caught up with this relative, let’s call him Bob, I brought up the last argument and he went on for about 5 minutes before I asked him to follow an analogy. I asked Bob if he was racist, Bob said no. I asked, “Ok, but what would Bob the racist reply? He’d also say no to hide his racism, so obviously you’re a racist.” We then spent a solid 10 minutes of back and forth and I simply kept asserting that we needed to understand the situation from the idea of “Bob the Racist”. I didn’t get through to him, well I did but he went to an anti-racist meeting so not in the way I meant to. Simply asserting a false premise cannot be the basis of the argument, hence why it felt so wrong to me when I first heard it. You are asserting a lie as truth then explaining away any counter evidence by reasserting your premise. It is a bit sinister since in the moment you can forget to have them actually prove their premise in the first place. Hope this helps dealing with anti-Catholic arguments.

What a coincidence. Arizona Prop 139 and Psalms 139

I know it's just a coincidence, but still it's quite a coincidence. I hope we can all pray that this proposition fails.

AZ proposition 139 - "Every individual has a fundamental right to abortion."

Psalms 139 - "You formed my inmost being; you knit me in my mother’s womb. I praise you, because I am wonderfully made; wonderful are your works!"

Being conservative in a liberal family

Not the average teenager in here, but whatevs. So basically my parents are divorced and my mom, dad, and sister are all democrats and liberals. The only conservative living at my parents houses are my grandma that lives at my dad’s house. She is in her 80s and she is the only one I can talk to about my beliefs. My whole family is “Catholic” but really only me and my grandma really are. My family supports abortion and other liberal issues that are seen as sinful to the Catholic Church. Plus I’m pretty sure my dad doesn’t even believe in God. Anyways, it’s gone too far that whenever I talk to my dad or mom about politics, I always debate them but then they just insult me by calling me a “trumper” even though I support neither Trump not Kamala. But I would probably lean towards Trump because of his abortion laws and the fact that Kamala isn’t a Christian , not saying that Trump is either btw. In any regular conversation my dad finds a way to bring up and insult Trump to the point that it is annoying. My dad is so radical liberal that he banned Chic Fil A because they are Christian and homophobic even though they claim they are Catholic and send me to Catholic school. Literally one of the reasons that he hates chic fil a is that they are closed on Sunday, and he calls them “religious zealots”. My mom at least hears my side but she is just as liberal , even more than my dad. Even my sister is radical too and she has been “brainwashed” my parents. My parents don’t support my beliefs as a conservative Catholic but they would support me if I was a liberal transgender (not tryna hate) She doesn’t even talk to me sometimes because I’m conservative. Heck, my family doesn’t even believe in the Old Testament! They believe in some liberal Jesus that sends everyone to heaven and accepted sinful and anti Christian people, even though He is the almighty judge. I know Reddit probably doesn’t want to hear this because it is liberal but I just needed to get this off my mind.

Why do Catholics love Trump

Why do Catholics overwhelmingly support Donald Trump?

What exactly makes him so Christlike where Catholics just love the guy.

Guy cheats on his wife with a porn star then lies about it paying off hush money.

Is a known liar don’t pay workers try’s to avoid paying any taxes with questionable bookkeeping then not showing everyone his tax returns

Has many failed businesses

Ran a casino into the ground costing many folks their job

Destroyed the usfl football league.

Has declared bankruptcy

Encouraged to supporters to be violent and attack the capitol

Keeps yelling about stolen election when there was no fraud.

Other than abortion why do Catholics love this guy.

Psalm 145 makes me think of this election, and politics in general

Put not your trust in princes: in the children of men, in whom there is no salvation.

Our two-party system hinges on building a mythology around the chosen candidate, how one specific person can address all of your most basic needs and ease all of your burdens, as long as you vote for them. The narrative of any election is disconcerting at best, and in this one it is particularly galling.
