In America, politics has long ceased to be a contest of ideas – it’s a contest for souls.
Every election cycle looks more like an exorcism: each side trying to cast out their demon from the White House while summoning their own saint to the ballot box.
These days, an old figure from apocalyptic dreams is walking the media once again – the Antichrist. Not as myth, but as a political label applied to anyone who doesn’t fit a particular ideological narrative. Liberals, tech billionaires, anyone using gender-neutral pronouns – all fair game.
The U.S. has become a nation where every political debate feels like a religious trial. There is no dialogue – only anathematization. While presidential candidates compete to prove they have “God’s backing,” the world quietly watches democracy turn into a church without a deity, but full of believers.
In a country that invented both Disneyland and reptilian conspiracy theories, perhaps it’s only logical that even the devil has a PR team. Because in American politics, every miracle lasts three days – but the fear of the Antichrist has been running strong for two centuries.
