Well Jesus was a peace loving socialist hippy, who would have been seen as a woke liberal by any US Christian conservative. They would have crucified him and not seen the irony.

They were also warned about the antichrist, and then elected the embodiment of the warning almost identically.

It's a popular theory that the antichrist thing was an attack on Nero, who was persecuting Christians at the time Revelations was written.

But then that means Trump is nearly identical to the Bible's description of Nero.
