Bet you never thought you'd read that combination of words anywhere other than on the back of a Dan Brown book, did you.

In these lectures, Thiel doesn’t just flirt with the apocalyptic. He goes all in — openly discussing the Antichrist, naming Pope Leo XIV as a potential manifestation of that figure, and, most disturbingly, advising JD Vance to ignore the pope on moral matters altogether.

So Pope Leo XIV is the antichrist, Trump is a good guy and JD Vance is our savior who like couches and widows?

    This is exactly what the Bible says the antichrist would do.

    JD Vance is our savior who like [...] widows?

    It's a bit like one of the sleazy houses on Game Of Thrones, right?

    ... Although I kinda get it (you do not, under any circumstances have to hand it to him, though): There are not many women ok with dating fascists.
