---I've made a new friend who is a traditional Catholic so I assumed she was pretty conservative. I assumed wrong. She's not far left or even very democrat, but she asked me what I thought of the priest's homily of the mass we had just gone to yesterday. The priest is based, redpilled, ripping into Biden and the dems and the covid plandemic, totally awesome guy. But my friend doesn't quite agree with him.
---She asked me if what the priest said about Biden being in bed with China was true or not. I said, "Yes, it seems pretty obvious." She asked, "What would Biden get out of that?" I said, "Money, control, power, help in the election, etc." Then she asked, "So, Biden being a Catholic...is he faking that?" I answered, "Yes, he says he's Catholic but he doesn't practice it, and that's what that whole debacle was with the Catholic bishops who refused to give him communion because of his pro-abortion beliefs. Nancy Pelosi says she's a Catholic too, but she never practices it."
---I got the feeling the gears in her head were turning but she seemed to not want to change her opinion just yet, because otherwise she'd probably have a breakdown or a massive headache. It's a lot for normies to take in, I don't blame her for being apprehensive about it.
---But then she said, "I feel like I HAD to vote for Biden though." I asked her why. She said, "Because of the racist things Trump has said." I almost laughed, I had a hard time keeping my composure. I answered, "Biden is extremely racist though, have you not heard what he's said in the past? When he was a senator? Or even during his 2020 campaign?" She said, "No, I haven't heard anything." I should have asked where she got her news from, but I'll ask that later. I responded, "During his campaign, he was speaking to some black folks and told them, 'If you don't know whether you're for me or for Trump, then you ain't black!'." She looked absolutely stunned at me, like I was telling a lie, but I told her she could fact check it later.
---She tried to dismiss or defend his statement with something like, "Well, he must have been telling them that he's the better choice for them, because Trump's racist." I said, "It's racist to assume that black people MUST vote for democrats. They can make their own decisions, they don't need someone telling them who to vote for. And honestly, why would they vote for either men? They're both old white guys, I don't know why they'd want either of them." I added that last part in just to get her thinking about why black people would vote for Biden because he's the same as Trump, an old white man, what's the real appeal over Trump? I don't believe the words I said, but I only said them to get her thinking, so don't get me wrong, I'm all here for Trump, I wasn't trying to rag on him, just getting her to think.
---She didn't really have an answer. I told her I could send her some articles proving my points. She accepted. So now I need some help. I already have a lot of links to prove Biden's a racist, but I have none to defend Trump's statements that she deemed "racist." I also need some articles linking the Biden admin to China, unfortunately I haven't saved any of those.
TLDR: new friend is willing to hear my side of the argument, and agreed to read some links I send her. Link some articles that you find as good proof of Trump not being racist and Biden's links to China. Refrain from Fox News links, as she appears to not trust them in the slightest. Anything MSM that could help in this effort is appreciated, since she'll be more likely to agree with those, and be unable to refute them. Center leaning links would be best though, as she appears to be in that camp.
In this case I would stick with the catholic side of the issues since its the homily that started this. 1-Abortion is a big sin (as is euthanasia - dont know her age but might affect her). Trump was the 1 and only Pres against abortion. Biden promotes it. That should be enough but yet more.... 2-That priest went out on a limb to inform her, and he could suffer because of it. I doubt a priest would risk his whole future on a lie. Does she know anything about Fr Altman? 3-God's laws are above man's laws. Receiving communion can be just for show. Is he in the state of grace? dont know but not a single pic of him leaving the confessional. Do you know what sacrilege is? 4-as far as racism goes nobody has done more for any race than Trump. NOBODY. Lots on i-net on this. Did she base her vote on God's laws or man's. End with : I bet you get all your info from CNN. Am I right? I can tell.
She is a young female like me, she was in my high school one year below me. I actually don't know her opinion on abortion and I'll ask her so we can clarify.
Yes, she knows about Father Altman, but I'm not sure of her opinion. Ironically, we are in this area, so she has full access to him and his masses. The priest we were listening to on Sunday was not Father Altman.
My friend is a very devout traditional Catholic like me, so we both get in line for confession before almost every single mass we go to. I usually go every week or every 2 weeks, and she's the same. So she knows about the sacrilege of receiving communion while not in the state of grace. I'll be sure to bring this up since we are on the same page for that.
I think she based her vote on what the MSM told her. I don't know where she gets her info, and that'll be one of the first things I ask just so I know how to approach this whole thing.
Thank you for all this.
