Yeah, my hot take here is that the church wanted an American pope to be able to clap back at Trump, and try to sway some of his religious supporters.

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Yup. At least for the folks who are actually religious… I am very curious to see how this will play out. Are most of these r β€œChristian” voters actually Christian or just playing an act.

Quick question: what is the demonym (a word used to identify people who are from a particular place) of the people from the USA?

In the opposite way that when saying Asians no one thinks of Russians, no one thinks of Chileans when you say Americans.

US-American, often abbreviated to just American.

[–] usjelo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I think "US-American" is the most accurate, least controversial, and most grammatically correct one there is πŸ˜…

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 8 points 2 days ago

American. Or if we're being a little silly 'Murican.

I'm sure the new pope is honored to have CitiesByDiana congratulating him.

Conclvave sounds like something you see a doctor about after a week locked in a room with hookers and blow.
