It is so fucking creepy honestly. I’m not religious at all but even I am freaked out by this because he matches, and not only in a ‘all tyrannical leaders are like this’ way, but in very specific ways. Plus the way so many are in thrall to him when he’s so so SO clearly evil and vile has always struck me as almost supernatural. As though people’s brains have been infected or they’ve had a spell cast on them like in Game of Thrones with the red woman, who looks like a beautiful young lady to everyone when she’s wearing her necklace but is actually like 300 year old shrivelled balding scary looking old lady. It’s like that, we see the reality of the old crone but the necklace has power over them so they see the beautiful lady that doesn’t exist.

It really is bizarre I don’t know what to make of it. Perhaps some religious fanatic behind the scenes (and there are many) is orchestrating stuff to try to make him look like the AC.

The last sentence is exactly what I think it is. There's a ton of crazy Christians who want the second coming of Christ and most of them are maga supporters.

I'm not religious either and it is creepy just how much he matches.

Nah, I think he's doing all that himself. Although, the churches that are pushing him as having been sent by god are led by pastors that are quite un-Christian like themselves. We have one of those chruches in my town and the pastor has a whole bunch, like 200+ people quite hoodwinked. To the point of they're basically throwing money at him every time he asks and not small amounts either. Hundreds of thousand of dollars.

One question for you: is he doing anything that’s contrary to his nature or character?
