I have a rule about being constructive, so I can't ask any questions right now, because all the questions I have are rhetorical and they end with the word 'idiot.' Do you know what a rhetorical- no, of course you don't, you're an idiot.
My favorite Frankie line is from the dog diploma episode.
Oh God no, I never hope. Hope is pouting in advance. Hope is faith's richer, bitchier sister. Hope is the deformed addict bound incest monster of entitlement and fear.
Oh I just think it's funny and well written. Dan Harmon writing at his best should pretty much never be taken as gospel and you always have to consider the character saying it.
Worth noting in Catholic theology, an anti-Christ is merely someone opposed to Christ. "The Antichrist" is largely a Protestant, mostly Evangelical, interpretation of scripture, along with the Rapture, Tribulations, etc., all of it. Largely expanded on from the Beast of Revelation, who Catholicism says will be AN Anti-Christ.
Basically: Trump is, by Catholic standards, certainly an anti-Christ.
Truly, he's the pinnacle of humanity's faults. All of our failures as a species, perhaps even embodying the inevitable failures of all intelligent life that may arise across the cosmos, bundled up into one very angry, very delusional geriatric pedophile.
This has a lot of parallels to CS Lewis’s imagining of hell in The Grear Divorce, where people drift farther and farther from each other in an infinite and grey landscape of abandoned homes to the infinite horizon, because people in hell cannot tolerate each other, relocating and building a new home further away when they can no longer stand their neighbors, ever moving father and farther apart forever.
At the very reaches alone by themselves are those great but miserable figures like Napoleon, as all souls become just shadows and echos of themselves, reduced to eternal self-focused repetition of their grumblings and grievances.
Trump in universal heat death reduced to nothing but his grumbling into eternity fits that so well.
Ultimately, there will be a big suck, and then a big bang. And all of life will arise again from the glorious phoenix rising of Trumps cosmic existence.

The end result of all creation is... Donald Trump?
I weep.
