    First of all, this is dumb and the antichrist is not a thing in the Bible.

    But from tradition the antichrist is supposedly a figure who gains great power, I don’t see why anyone would expect they would not be a popular politician.

      Well yeah, but it’s just funny how all good Christians always talk about how THEY would stand up against the anti Christ with their bible in their hands, yet those exact Christians are the ones voting for Trump who is closer to the anti Christ than we’ve ever seen before in politics.

        From their point of view:

        Republican - For God

        Democrat - Against God

        They have to vote for the party that is for God no matter what.

        The other party is going after christ. They see the other side, Democrats, as the anti-christs.

        “News” has become “what can you really believe?”. It’s easy to just not believe any of it but the one issue you care about.

        A true Christian would throw their country under the bus if God told them to do it. God comes before Country.

      Err. Sort of. The NT does have the concept of someone who stands against Christ. But there isn’t just one (there may be an archetypical one who will come in the future, that’s kind of debatabke), but pretty much anyone who imbedes the spread of Christianity is an antichrist.
