Anyone know what part of MAGA current delusional think has to do with Rome?

[Silent3]

A response from a Trump nut on Facebook:

...I love ya but I know Trump won the election. Rome/Italy has a full confession.

Is this tied to those bizarre fake rumors about a blackout at the Vatican, the Pope being arrested, etc.?

1. Good lord!

7. She just added these two predictions:

Referring, I believe, to all of the companies that cut off Parler:

I believe all of these guys that “ owned” these companies are on their way to gitmo. Now these companies will be owned by the United States government

It states this week, I think Michael and Nancy are the first two going for a free ride to gitmo. Treason equals firing squad

19. Lol. Does she not know that would be the socialism they fear so much? n/t

2. White supremacists hate Catholics

I don't know why, but I'm sure because they want a white Anglo Protestant country.

[Generic Brad]

3. There was a power outage at the Vatican

They took that to think that the Pope was being arrested for pedophilia and Trump was making his move. What a bunch of maroons.

[Celerity]

4. fuck Facebook and double fuck MAGAts

[SheltieLover]

5. Before blackout, there was a bs story blaming all on Italy

Wtf knows why.

6. With this group, references to 'Rome' for me evoke the

March on Rome, 1922 mass demonstration that put fascist Mussolini in power as Prime Minister. (History person here).

The March on Rome was an organized mass demonstration in October 1922 which resulted in Benito Mussolini's National Fascist Party (PNF) ascending to power in the Kingdom of Italy. In late October 1922, Fascist Party leaders planned an insurrection, to take place on 28 October. When fascist demonstrators and Blackshirt paramilitaries entered Rome, Prime Minister Luigi Facta wished to declare a state of siege, but this was overruled by King Victor Emmanuel III. On the following day, 29 October 1922, the King appointed Mussolini as Prime Minister, thereby transferring political power to the fascists without armed conflict...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_on_Rome

8. Joe Biden is Catholic if I recall

Inspired by the same old right-wing conspiracy lunacy Kennedy put up with running for President

[The Genealogist]

9. Anti-Catholic sentiment in the MAGA basket of deplorables

I'm guessing that is what is coming out here. Most of the RWers I know HATE Catholicism, as a statue worshipping cult. The Pope? Let's just say no love lost. There are a LOT of Catholics on the right, and a lot of people on the right who detest Catholics and Catholicism. I think this fact will eventually be a point of schism on the right.

12. They love get anti-abortion Catholics into the SCOTUS it seems

So, allies of convenience when not despised.

This quackery, however, seems to be about someone revealing US election fraud to someone/some authority in Rome, of all places. Which doesn't necessarily sound anti-Catholic. Just bizarre.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

10. They say a guy confessed to be in an Italian company that was hired to change vote counts on servers

Supposedly it had something to do with stealing the election.

I expect it to have about as much credibility as the story that the US military raided a server room in Frankfurt Germany and Haspel head of CIA was killed in the raid.

20. And a GOP county chairman is spreading it

Link to tweet

Italians on Twitter were said to find it hilarious that someone thought they'd be organised enough to steal an election with technology.

11. Those of us who are Catholic know what it means. nt

[Silent3]

13. But how does that tie into someone revealing US election fraud in Rome?

Whether you love Catholics or hate them, why imagine that Rome is where someone would reveal evidence of US election fraud?

[Irish_Dem]

16. Same slurs to JFK

1. A Catholic leader is ruled by Rome, the pope aids and abets political activity, in this case election fraud.
2. Catholics go to confession. Joe had confession with the Pope who lives in Rome, and confessed all his "crimes."

Whatever these insurrectionists are saying will be something along these lines I would imagine.
As I said, they said these things about the Kennedys.

[Jrsygrl96]

14. It has to do with

Dominion voting systems and votes pinging to Italy, changed over to Biden and pinged back to the U.S.

[Vivienne235729]

15. Maybe it is related to the phrase, "rome is burning down". They equate

What they're doing (burning down the U.S. govt) w the fall of Rome? As in they arw taking it down?

[Thomas Hurt]

17. Anti-Catholicism was a big thing back in the day with the KKK...

of course modern day evangelicals think Catholics are apostates, and then we have the QAnon bullsh*t about the Pope being a pedo coming from Lin Wood so that is not surprising.
