Trump keeps reminding me of the Mule from Asimov's Foundation series. He's this ugly stupid crass hateful demented clown with orange face paint and badly tailored suits, a long record of failure, and a nonstop stream of verbal abuse and blatant lies and terrible ideas coming out of his mouth and yet somehow the media, the judiciary, other politicians, literally anyone with any power to put him in his place somehow can't help compulsively fawning over him as if he's the second coming of Christ. It's literally making me, an atheist, wonder if maybe there really is an antichrist. Some of that supplication can be blamed on the Heritage Foundation, but a lot of the people bending over to kiss his ass have nothing to do with the fascist movement. It's like they see him and they have a stroke and forget what it was they were supposed to do about him. And I agree, it's infuriating to watch because he's not brilliant or scary, he's a toxic narcissist, a toddler in an 80-year-old meat suit. As soon as anyone actually stands up to him he folds: Harris utterly humiliated him in the debate. That should've been the end of his political career, but it was yet another in a long line of things that should've ended his political career.

It's making me, an agnostic, start wondering about the antichrist too because I feel like people are under mass psychosis and so much internationally linked and years long premeditated Evil is afoot these days that it can't be scientifically explained.
