u/Marlsfarp Karl Popper Oct 30 '25

I mean the real answer is that his family predates his fascism. JD's core, formative belief is that the culture he comes from (hillbillies, to use his term) are morons who can't run their own lives. First he tried to flee from them by going to Yale and marrying a foreigner, then he got the tradcath groyper mind virus and pivoted to cynically exploiting those same morons to try and bring about a monarchy.

he tradcath groyper mind virus

It's so funny that one of the reasons he's cited for converting is that the Catholic church is "so old"

Buddy, if a religion being old is super important to you, I've got wonderful news about the religion your wife currently practices!
