A non-insignificant amount of conservatives went on daily rants about the antichrist and how Obama was surely him. Glenn Beck from 2008-2016 was literally reading from the book of revelations every day on air between his sobs
Pretty sure Beck is mormon himself. He presents more as an evangelical though. I've known both types and, in my personal experience, the Mormons I had as coworkers were kinda weird, they'd engage with you on religious topic discussions if you asked, but they also avoided whatever the fuck Beck was doing. The evangelical types seem totally unable to control themselves from shouting ANTICHRIST when they hear Obama's name. And it's certainly not due to his foreign policy decisions or how he singlehandedly ensured the US wouldn't have a public option for at least several more decades after he left office. I'd actually respect them if that's why they hated him... except they'd have to hate all the presidents then... but whatever they're not gonna do any of this

The confederates’ mythos for justifying slavery was that black people bore the mark of ham, therefore they must be enslaved
