    He believes that all leaders are raised up by the hand of God. Better get those sainthoods lined up for Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Putin, Mugabe, etc.

      Those people - including Johnson - aren’t leaders. They’re bureaucrats with fancy titles and institutionalized power - the exact thing Jesus wasn’t.
