WARNINGS

2014

2014-07-23 According to online sources, in 2014 JD Vance wrote on social media, “But I’m not surprised by Trump’s rise, and I think the entire party has only itself to blame. We are, whether we like it or not, the party of lower-income, lower-education white people, and I have been saying for a long time that we need to offer those people SOMETHING (and hell, maybe even expand our appeal to working class black people in the process) or a demagogue would. We are now at that point. Trump is the fruit of the party’s collective neglect. 3) I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical asshole like Nixon who wouldn’t be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he’s America’s Hitler. How’s that for discouraging?”.

2026

2026-04-15 Mike Johnson argued that Pope Leo should not have condemned the war, stating, “There’s something called the Just War Doctrine…”. The Poper corrected Johnson by explaining the doctrine is only in self-defense once ALL PEACE EFFORTS HAVE FAILED, and then later wrote on social media, “Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth” and warned that the world is currently “ravaged by a handful of tyrants”.
