The theory of aliens being angels & demons (demons mostly) has been around long before the base the GOP kneels to when not kneeling with both knees to Trump were born. That isn't new, the newest part is the existence of podcasts and hundreds of hours on the topic. Conspiracy theorists were laughed at and called the police on 20-40 years ago, now they get 100 million from Spotify. That's the difference. That and a lot of "conspiracies" are coming true at this moment
Certain movements throughout history have been about permanently damaging society/the world and provoking the end times, where they think they can force God back and rule the world unquestioned. Israel is one of these states and the bloodshed in Palestine part of that agenda. Mormons are another and think they will work together with Jews to rule once things like rights and the constitution is destroyed, giving way to a new world. A lot if not most religions revolve around some cataclysmic event to bring about the end so a new beginning can be made with them in control. You are probably reading this from your Windows laptop or Macbook thinking it's crazy but this is what is believed and there's texts specific to each religion about this. This is what Israel's doing, they're going at multiple countries roughly around the same time for a reason
Thiel subscribes to technocracy thought, Vance subscribes to whatever Thiel & Yarvin want. The idea of a country and its laws falling and a "tech king" being installed existed only in science fiction until officially around the early 2010s when Curtis Yarvin and others came up with a blueprint of what that would look like in actual reality, obviously with seeds before this point. Everything since has been about ripening society, getting everyone easier to manipulate for when the time comes, which you are seeing now the end result. Everything half the country doesn't want to believe simply isn't true. This is the psyop, not the religion stuff. Social media just by how it functions is the ultimate tool for mass confusion and exploitation and they knew it way before anyone knew they could press play on a camera and make money. They drafted the blueprint, paid people to become "conspiracy theorists" and peddle confusion, they tested what thought reform through social media looked like in local elections of foreign countries and learned how to use the data for Trump, they are behind Qanon before there was officially a "MAGA", back when it was just ***** & Pepe the frog fodder (and there's more on pepe and what "memes" actually are). They, besides the low turn out, are the reason Trump was even a viable candidate and ultimately won in 2016. There probably wasn't a more perfect host. He's charismatic, will do anything for money, and has been compromised for decades as a foreign asset. Now in the second term they are ratcheting things up at a break neck pace, almost as though there's a time limit that they're concerned with and need things in a state of disrepair quick, instead of the brick by brick they've been doing
Plenty of dictators and tyrants have gotten labeled the antichrist. Trump is not the antichrist or the beast, he is the chaos candidate. One to finally rip up everything in one swoop, officially usher in a new order, and help open "portals" I guess for the energy that is the "antichrist". He has traits of the antichrist but they all do; Mussolini, Trump, Hitler. It's required for the position.
