Pete Hegseth considers himself to be at war with basically everybody to Trump’s left, and it is by no means clear that he means war metaphorically.
Summary
Pete Hegseth, nominated by Trump as Secretary of Defense, is a polarizing figure with minimal managerial experience and a controversial worldview shaped by far-right ideology.
Through his books, Hegseth outlines beliefs steeped in conspiracy theories, disdain for diversity and gender integration in the military, and a militarized view of domestic politics.
He advocates purging military leaders aligned with Democratic administrations, opposes the “rules of war,” and equates the American left with wartime enemies.
Critics warn his extremist rhetoric and combative philosophy could endanger civil liberties and exacerbate political polarization.
"promote"? we're in a thread about a rapist president appointing (""""promoting"" LOL ) rapists to cabinet positions.
do you think roving bands of rapist trump magas ARE NOT going to go door to door looking for women/girls to rape? because, please tell me: what's going to stop them? other than a fucking shotgun blast in the face
My current assessment is that having a gun in the house would increase the risk of a household member's suicidal ideation turning into suicide. That risk is higher than projected benefit of being able to shoot a threat in the face.
I grew up with guns. I've enjoyed shooting guns. I should not have a gun in the house..
I am team "know your neighbors and have a disaster readiness kit". My neighbors are great. We help each other.
