"Maybe we shouldn't be worshipping this golden calf..."
This was at CPAC in 2021. I thought it was satire. It was not.
He kinda looks like Vault Boy in this depiction.
I like this picture of him and Vault Boy together.
CPAC in 2021
Ah, so that would be one year before this:

That is such a good analogy, how did I never hear of that against "prophet Trump"?
how did you miss this?

He might just be the antichrist...
I'm gonna leave this here.
He doesn’t fulfill all the requirements. He’s just one of many false prophets, there are many antichrists.

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'm an atheist but if anybody got the bill for anti-christ it's this guy.
He is literally the Seven Deadly Sins mooshed into a fat suit.
Having been raised in a Catholic country and a fairly conservative parish, I truly don't understand the Christian votes for Trump
America has two christianities. And not in the normal “Protestants and Catholics are on the verge of another 30 years war at each other” way. But regardless of denomination we have groups of Christian’s who see Christianity not as a set of beliefs and duties but as an in group and tool to persecute those they don’t like. Trump is the guy who tells them that the reason things are bad is those dirty non Christians (which many American Protestants include Catholics in for some gods forsaken reason). He offers them power in exchange for looking the other way from his sins
The scary thing is that he didn’t invent that concept. It has been raging since before the Satanic Panic. He just gave those people a platform.

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.”

You know it's serious when even the cults change prophets.
There was an article a while a go where someone looked into how the bible describes the anti-christ and while they initially did it just for fun, it became a bit more eerie, when Trump started hitting checkbox after checkbox after checkbox, leaving out pretty much none of them…
It's almost as if vague ramblings of a first century commoner (who was likely tripping balls) could be applied to any and every megalomaniacal tyrant we've ever had.
It was originally written about Nero.
IIRC the funny thing was actually that no, this wasn’t just generic enough to cover every megalomaniacal tyrant but was in some places actually oddly specific.

I can't think of a time in my Internet life when "Well, duh" was so often the most appropriate response to so many posts.
He’s a convicted felon, rapist, and con man.
"is that your bible?"
"IT'S A BIBLE"
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.
Ok well better late than never, I guess, that Christians start pointing out how un-christian Trump is. But I doubt they'll connect the rest of the dots and reject the cruelty of conservatism altogether
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).

Dude is a spot on representation of their antichrist. Not that trump is anything other than a pathetic dipshit.
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.
From the article: "TRMP"
Wake up babe. A new tetragrammaton just dropped.
At first I was annoyed, until I realized "drop" is an antagonym.
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?

Is false profit and Antichrist the same thing?
Basically yes? Antichrist is pluralized in the Bible in places and thus is not necessarily one individual. The false Prophets are described similarly.
Most of the pop culture picture of the Antichrist as a more singular entity is more like the Thessalonians "the man of sin"... Also known as the Man of Lawlessness, Apostasy, Insurrection, rebellion... One particularly agregious Antichrist that Jesus himself must come down and take out with a breath that exposes his naked wickedness to the worshipping masses who will realize that they are not among the saved. It's sometimes interpreted that this kicks off the second coming but it doesn't actually say that... It just says it happens sometime before the end of days which could mean it's distinctly apart from and not feature of the revelation. Like some kind of Jesus warm up cameo.
Really its kind of tempting to paint Trump and Evengelicals in that role. He wouldn't be the first nasty to wrap himself up in an altar cloth.
Biblical false prophet = competitor cult preacher that would compete with Jesus
