The thing about occultists - and Jung was absolutely an occultist in shrink clothing - is that sometimes they're seeing things that actually happen/experiences that people actually have, even if the explanations are not necessarily to be trusted. And Jung actually watched the Nazis firsthand.

When I considered the possibility that Jung had in fact recognized an actual phenomenon and MAGA was doing exactly that except with a myth that resonated more with the American mindset (Revelation), a lot fell into place.
