Then they came for me. But by then, there was no one left to object.
If you're conservative when you're young, you have no heart! If you're liberal when you're mature, you have no brain!

I know little about him myself, other than that he's a philanthropist, let alone anything to warrant an unhealthy obsession with him.

Mr. Soros does with his wealth what he wants, and not what the QAnon cultists, the MAGA Republicans, the Trump worshipers, and Trump himself want.
Find out why conspiracy theorists are fixated upon wealthy Jews doing what they want with their own money, and you will likely begin to understand their delusional mindset, too.

I think it's partly the mere fact that, unlike plenty of other wealthy people such as the Koch brothers (who also fund a bunch of political activist groups), the various groups funded by Soros tend to be center-left.
Lots of right wing groups get lots of funding from rich people, and they are absolutely horrified that they are not the only activist groups who have ever gotten any funding from rich people.
Anti-Jewish prejudice may be a factor here also, but probably not the only factor.

About a historical antecedent, the beginnings of Renaissance-era and post-Renaissance "witch" persecutions:
The invention of satanic witchcraft by medieval authorities was initially met with skepticism by Vivian Lam, The Conversation, July 2, 2020.
Unfortunately, more and more people did believe it back then, with tragic results:
