"But I beseech You of Your kindness to have mercy on me—not the lesser mercy which You show temporarily for physical distress, but Your greater mercy which You show for the distress of the soul. Have mercy on me, and forgive me my sin. Amen."

Look, this is classic “interview Trump.” He’s often conciliatory. He’s repeatedly talked about an immigration deal and it’s NEVER happened. Don’t freak out on a personal level. Just take it as an opportunity to loudly oppose amnesty, as every patriot should!
Trump has endorsed an immigration deal with Democrats every year since 2017, and he has shot the bills down every time. Trump has offered a pass to illegals who work or have ties here, then does the opposite. So far this is only words, his actions keep blocking amnesty.

Trump said he likes legal immigration, then cut it the sharpest levels since 1924. He said he wants student visas — they halved. He said take a softer touch on deportations: ICE arrests surged to the highest levels ever. Look at the actions next to the words, then react.
In Trump’s first sit-down interview since Republicans’ midterm wipeout, his takeaway seems to be that his deportation policy was “too tough”. Ross Douthat: “So you think your deportation policy went too far?” Trump: “Yeah, I think it was too tough”

Trump endorses an amnesty deal with Democrats, saying immigration maximalists are on the “pretty far right” and suggesting that illegals who have been in the US for 10-15 years should have an opportunity to stay. Follow: @AFpost

We're supposed to believe this after Trump just promoted Stephen Miller to Chief of Staff? Anyone who uncritically posts this account or @unusual_whales needs to log off permanently.
Trump says some of his deportation policies may have gone too far, per WSJ.

We will win this. I mean, look, last night sucked. Even I succumbed to dooming for a brief moment. But I have eternal life through my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, so what’s the worst that could happen, really?
the pathetic fantasies about how it's over and we'll all imminently be raped are in full swing; if not for the fact xwitter isn't real life and there's no point telling internet people to get their acts together i would be more disgusted

"I would uphold, then, the Articles in their plain, literal sense; but I would uphold them as part and parcel of the Prayer-book. Taken in connexion with the Prayer-book they admirably serve the purpose of exhibiting the doctrinal aspect of God’s truth..." northamanglican.com/church-d…

The sheer lack of taste in regards to fiction amongst large swaths of the Right at large sickens me. You can't mock leftists for their slop when you're just as pleased by a different color of slop

But becoming a snooty suit is boring and drab and quite uninteresting on face value so of course nobody here ia going to even consider the notion because they'd rather AI a blonde woman regurgitating their meme of choice back to them

I voted straight-R with the intention of keeping the infinity-immigration Democrats out of power.
Many actions are indeed intrinsically immoral (i.e., deontologically impermissible), but casting a vote for any given candidate is not one of them. Rather, the intention and circumstances behind a person's vote determine its moral status.

Love everyone just now figuring out that I'm not a lesser of two evils voter. My guy I'm a deontologist, you have no earthly clue what you're up against here.

Additionally, even if some evil consequence of a given vote can be foreseen, it does not follow that said consequence is intended. This is known as the principle of double effect: "The difference between intended effects and foreseen side effects is relevant for judging actions."

In short, don't let anyone browbeat you into not voting Republican because a given candidate has some problems. As it turns out, not allowing the perfect to be the enemy of the good is a catholic moral principle.
