Jesus came from the sticks, not the big city. His associates were humble workers, not members of the self-satisfied, prosperous elite. When he chose to go to Jerusalem and take on the corrupt establishment, it retaliated by crucifying him. But he prevailed in the end.
It’s not hard to see why MAGA types see an analogy to a more contemporary figure here. But there are a number of important differences between Christ and Trump. First, Trump came from New York. Second, Christ’s kingdom was not of this world; he didn’t seek political power to boost his own ego or punish his enemies. Finally, Christ had Peter as his wingman, not Elon Musk. He was a real populist; he didn’t just play one on TV.
