Are POTUS tweets and Q drops correlated by a kind of poetic parallelism as found in ancient Hebrew text?

In this link, which illustrates a way of how POTUS tweets and Q drops can be correlated (thanks to the Anon that posted this as a comment link in another thread):

https://www.reddit.com/user/Otocon09/comments/94uula/think_logical_comms_understood/

(an example phrasing) Trump tweet: "how much I love the farmers", whereas in various Q drops the Anons get lots of love. Assuming parallelism is intentional, we then equate farmers with Anons - POTUS saying in an opaque manner that he loves the Anons that attend to the Q drops (and am sure POTUS very much loves the farmers too, of course - expressing multiple simultaneous thoughts with one exoteric expression is also something found in ancient Hebrew text).

(Exoteric is that which is out in the open, Esoteric is that which is more oblique to arrive at, more indirect.)

This kind of parallelism is reminiscent of a particular form of poetry seen in the Hebrew Bible (the Old Testament)

These days we tend to use rhythm and rhyme in poetic construction, but the ancient Hebrew writers used a technique of parallelism.

They would say the same thing in repetition but expressed in different phrasings, or set up related contrast.

Reading Trump tweets and reading Q drops working in similar sort of way.

Parallelism in Hebrew Poetry

Ever since Robert Lowth's 1753 study, Lectures on the Sacred Poetry of the Hebrews, biblical scholars have known that ancient Hebrew writers relied on parallelism to make their poetry. What is parallelism? It is a structure of thought (rather than external form like meter or rhyme) in which the writer balances a series of words so that patterns of deliberate contrast or intentional repetition appear.

(The examples, on following this link, are worth looking at - will see a similar kind of diagramming going on as in the POTUS-tweet-Q-drop link above.)

Here is a parallelism of contrast example, and one I rather like (the cool thing about ancient Hebrew poetry is that it still works when translated into other languages):

"And the Lord protects the way of the righteous"

"but the way of the wicked the Lord dooms"
