A screenshot of an Atlantic story about Pappin, which reads: “In response to questions about the prophecy, Pappin told me in an email that he meant it ironically, writing, "Satire is dead and Trump Derangement Syndrome killed it." But the comment, intended ironically or not, seems to fit Pappin's worldview. In an email from the same year, which I reviewed, he wrote guilty as charged" about a philosophy of "quixotic monarchism," appearing to wryly affirm his faith in a Christian monarch in place of liberal democracy. Pappin maintained to me that he was merely "poking fun" at "stereotypes of conservative Catholics." When I asked him whether he believes in democracy, he said, "Western democracies need to return to their roots in Christian civilization in order to pull back from hyperliberal progressivism." In a 2022 essay, he called the presidency a "quasi-monarchical office."
