The Woke Leo Effect

 When I give food to the poor they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist.

Brazilian archbishop, Helder Camara

Compared to the MAGA crowd, the military junta archbishop Camara was speaking about were a bunch of pussies. All you have to do these days, is offer the poor food and in the dark hearts of MAGA you are a communist son of a bitch. Or, to use their current terminology, "a woke Marxist." Offer the poor shelter and they go absolutely apoplectic. 

It began as soon as the newly elected pope, Leo XIV started to speak from that Vatican balcony. One outraged Newsmax, or OAN  (You can never really tell the difference) personality bitterly complained, "If he is an American pope why isn't he speaking English?"

Yes, that whole not speaking in English thing seemed to rankle more than a few of the MAGA faithful. Especially after a few social media posts written before Leo became pope surfaced. Former crypto CEO, Ryan Selkis wrote, "A new woke pope. BLM. Kids in cages. Suicidal empathy. American who mostly posts en espanol" What Selkis didn't mention was prior to becoming a cardinal, Father and later archbishop,  Robert Prevost spent a couple of decades in Peru where a lot of people speak Spanish. Perhaps it is where he caught that case of, "suicidal empathy."

The infamous purveyor of conspiracy theories and deliverer of Presidential BJ's, Laura Loomer took to social media and in part wrote, "His name is Robert Prevost. He's the first American pope. He is anti-Trump and anti-MAGA, pro-open Borders, and a total Marxist like pope Francis." 

That's right, not just a run of the mill Marxist, but the worse sort, a total Marxist. One who graduated from that well known academy for young communists, Villanova University, located in Philadelphia, PA. The school was founded six years before Marx and Engels wrote the Communist Manifesto by Augustinian priests and is unknown at this time exactly how many Marxist Wildcats are running around the countryside, although the number of them who have become pope is perfectly clear--it is now one.

It hasn't seemed to matter to most of the MAGA crowd that the head of Turning Point America, Charlie Kirk did a little research on Robert Prevost's voting record. kirk found the new pope is a registered republican and has voted in republican primary elections numerous times and at least two Presidential elections in the las 12 years. Kirk also pointed out that Leo's past writings have him solidly in line with Roman Catholic policies on abortion and gay marriage and adoption. 

Indeed, it would seem some "woke Marxist," are also selective Marxists. Or at least socially conservative ones. 

No matter. The man criticized Donald Trump when it comes to forcibly separating immigrant families and mass deportations without recourse. In addition he let it be known that J.D. Vance's rating system for who to love and in what order is not in line with the teachings of Jesus Christ. You know, the guy who beseeched us to clothe the naked, feed the hungry, and love thine enemies. 

Hey, if you are a card carrying MAGA there is no time for that sort of stuff now. There is a new reality that must be faced. As pro Trump social media hot shot, Joey Mannarino (He's famous for--well--being famous) wrote, pope Leo XIV, "...is a liberal piece of shit, we're fucked." 

Ah, that silver tongued devil.  

No wonder MAGA clowns everywhere, to borrow part of a movie line, "enjoy the reputation they have in the world today."
