An article from 2022 about a bizarre new cult in California. It seems to have exactly two members, both of whom are pretty kookish while fancying themselves to be Übermenschen.

It seems to be a confluence of two strands: the Alt Right "coming of age" and becoming Catholic, and the more general phenomenon of "political converts".
