    A huge portion of those backward us conservatives are catholic. All he does is run interference for entrenched reactionary power

      Both parties are reactionary, and ideology is faith, because neither is materialistic.

      So it’s a nonsense take.

        The federalist society is Catholic which means like the entire us judicial system is run by Catholic reactionaries. Catholics are outnumbered, by raw follower numbers but the catholics are damn close when it comes to total power wielded in the US

          Yes, but their doctrines are mainly evangelical in order to pander to their primary base.

          I can call myself any religion I want, but that doesn’t mean much if I go around appealing to the doctrines of another.
