Yes all of that...but more than that, she is a Christian and the Bible says to pray for “authorities and leaders” 1Tim 2:1-4 and that Romans 13:1 says that “Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.”

The early Christians considered Nero an/the anti-Christ, so clearly there are exceptions. They certainly didn’t follow his direction not to worship as they saw fit.

Also, was Hitler a governing authority to whom one must submit? Of course not.
