He has two competing voices in his head. One is the one trying to impress internet edgelords. The other one compels him to kiss the ass of any father figure in his immediate vicinity.

I think that's part of it, but also I think they just genuinely felt that an anti-gay, anti-abortion church with a male-only hierarchy ruled by an infallible dictator WOULD OF COURSE align with their fascist project.
And forgot to, you know, check.

I'm convinced most tradcaths in the political class (e.g. Walsh, Vance) chose Catholicism because they didn't think they could compete for attention in *Protestant* Evangelical spaces. They thought marking themselves as 'Catholic' would help them stand out.

The U.S. bishops defended migrant families. Tom Homan snapped. Nan Hayworth called Pope Leo a “tool of our enemies.” Tim Burchett accused the church of getting rich off of sex trafficking.

No one has a clearer view of JD Vance, who has called on Republicans to stop the "infighting" with the Hitler lovers who have insulted him and his wife, than Jamelle Bouie.
And the question is: If JD Vance were an open Groyper, would he be acting any differently?

Trump's policies are inflicting so much harm even his allies can see it. Yet he's mostly doing exactly what he promised to. If they revolt over policy, they'll reveal they were fools to back him in the first place. They need a *moral* reason to abandon him. The Epstein files provide just that.

Environment is 8-9-esh points more D than in January 100% tracks with special election results and 2025 election results.
in January it was
Rural:
GOP - 60%
Dem - 32
Suburban:
Dem - 46%
GOP - 45%
Urban:
Dem - 59%
GOP - 33%
so that's a 6 point swing left in rural areas, 6 point swing left in suburban areas, and a 13 point swing left in urban areas

“Pope Leo Is a Tool of Our Enemies”: Homan Leads MAGA Attacks as Hayworth, Others Pile On
It’s the latest MAGA attack on Pope Leo’s pro-immigrant stance. Disgraced border chief Tom Homan — caught taking a $50,000 bribe in a Cava takeout bag — led the charge against Leo and the bishops.

This is equal parts horrifying and hilarious, because the Eisenhower Building, which Trump is now calling "ugly," was one of the prime examples of architectural perfection used to justify his executive order mandating "neoclassical" architecture.

Fact is, Epstein is the *only* issue impervious to Trump/GOP messaging tactics.
That's why Trump & MAGA keep freaking out—they literally don't know what to do when lying, misdirection, and demagoguery don't work. So they flail around, making it worse.
Dropping it would be political malpractice.
