I know the feeling, but here's where it gets even scarier.

The Antichrist is a myth popularized by the right wing rapture proponents. Kind of like Thomas Crapper inventing the flush toilet. (Feels appropriate doesn't it? Crapper and the Antichrist.) Both myths so ubiquitous we're stunned (as I was) to discover they're (here I go again) crap.

In the Bible there are many Antichrists, and they aren't the devil in human guise. They're just people who invert the message of Christianity. So Trump can be the antichrist, as can Elon Musk, even the former Proud Boys.

Doctor Who fans will probably remember the halfling child who approached people asking, "Are you my mummy?" The child could walk into a room filled with Trump supporting millionaires and ask, "Are you the antiChrist?" And the answer would be, "how many of us are in the room?"
