Biblically, there isn’t an antichrist. It’s not a proper noun, there’s not just one. Most Americans’ understanding of eschatology comes straight from Left Behind (and further back, Scofield), which has little connection to the actual text. (The number of Christians who refer to RevelationS, when the tittle of the text has no “s”….)
And I’d say Trump is definitely “anti-Christ.”
1 John 2:18 uses it both as a proper noun and as a generic noun, and nowadays “Antichrist” is more a colloquial name for the first beast of Revelation 13 even if that’s not directly what the text clearly calls him.
Regardless, I agree Trump is very anti-Christ. Hard to read 1 John 4 and not see almost the opposite of him.
It’s a good thing I guess but a ‘prophet’? Is that what these people believe? He’s a dangerous, sleazy grifter. Always has been, always will be.
Yes, they believe it. They believe worse. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60246687-president-donald-j-trump-the-son-of-man---the-christ
The point of a “false prophet” is that they claim to speak for/act in the name of God for their own (evil) ends. False prophets are the highest tier of grifter in a religious context.
I know what you’re saying but I truly can’t truly understand their way of thinking. I guess it’s the brainwashing they get starting at like age 1.
We are all the products of the universe that created us. To understand them you have to first understand yourself, why you believe what you believe, and then understand that they lived a life that furnished them with their beliefs. But that will only get you halfway, as you will begin to understand them but that does not extend both ways; they will still not understand you. That will take considerably more effort.
I thought he was literally anti-christ, but I guess false prophet isn’t inaccurate.
No it’s usually the democratic candidates/presidents who are called the anti-christ.
You know it’s serious when even the cults change prophets.
What, did he say something remotely tolerant?

On the one hand I really don’t want their support or misguided views and priorities distracting or pushing Harris off course.
On the other hand fracturing a significant slice of the conservative base into not voting or voting against Trump would be delicious, especially if it meant more congressional and state seats to go blue because of it.
My evangelical family members seem to be as enthusiastic about Trump as ever. What has changed over the past weeks is that they are no longer sure he’s going to win.
I’m an atheist but if anybody got the bill for anti-christ it’s this guy.

This is more on the right track for how to de-cult people like Trump. Need more anti-Trump conspiracy theories and weirdo prophecies to get through to the crazies.
Every country has their 10% crazies. You don’t need their votes to govern. Please focus on the 90% with good policy instead of normalizing idiot conspiracy theories.
I’ve heard it’s 30% so it should be the same. Except in the US only 50-60 percent of people vote so suddenly it is an issue.
I’d also bet that it’s more than 30% in the US
The crazies are the ones who show up to launch a coup attempt at the Capitol.
What if those 90% split into 45% and 45%? Then you need those 10% crazies to govern.
I have family that believe trump is necessary for Christianity to win and that I and my step-siblings are only safe because they are intervening for us. This is in central Ohio from evangelicals.
Now ask them if Christianity winning means purposefully bringing upon the end times.
The thought previously crossed my mind, but I don’t think that’s what they’re going for and don’t want to put any more strain on that relationship (people are more likely to be un-radicalized when family don’t just pretend they no longer exist and I’d rather not create more conflict without a clear purpose and push them further into extremism).
This is such a nuanced and intelligent comment, i almost forgot i was on the internet. Kudos
From the article: “TRMP”
Wake up babe. A new tetragrammaton just dropped.
He’s a convicted felon, rapist, and con man.
He’s one of the horses that the 4 horsemen are riding. And he’s jumping the republicans as hard and fast as he can. It’s not how long you make it, is how you make it long. Unfortunately for him, he’s basically flat and smooth down there. One would get more pleasure from someone rubbing a pimple between their republican butts. Meanwhile the true horseman has made their move invisibly. But the move is visible, we have judges who don’t have our backs, we have laws that diminished the Rights of women, LGBTQA and other minorities. Where’s the horseman? We know where trump is but he’s so dumb he couldn’t plan breakfast, much less cause laws.
…what?
Word salad boils down to:
We see what trump does because he’s the puppet
There’s lots working in the background, other puppets weakening rights for women, voters, etc
Who is the puppet master?
Putin + other shithead billionaires would be my guess
“Maybe we shouldn’t be worshipping this golden calf…”
That is such a good analogy, how did I never hear of that against “prophet Trump”?
how did you miss this?
This was at CPAC in 2021. I thought it was satire. It was not.

He would never wear that. Can’t wear risers in flip flops.
iirc, made in Mexico
That or China, like most of the shit he sells.
Good ol’ American capitalism. You’re welcome! Pleasure doing business with ya
He kinda looks like Vault Boy in this depiction.
I like this picture of him and Vault Boy together.
The better timeline.

Ah, so that would be one year before this:
I thought it was a golden toilet…
So skibidi
