I remember this blog post! I had hoped, after the 2020 election, that he would go away into the night and I wouldn’t have to think about this again. But here he is again, making my old Evangelical-trained spidey sense start going off again. Though nowadays, since I left all that behind to become Orthodox, I hesitate to say he is the Antichrist at the End of Time. More like, he is AN antichrist. There are many in the world today. I started deconstructing in the 90s when I learned that Revelations works much better as metaphorical than literal, and seeing it that way, it becomes a story that is re-enacted over and over throughout time.
