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.
better buy guns while you c an
“i don’t like guns!” LOL ok… does your dislike of guns outweigh the safety of your kids? yes? don’t buy guns then
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.
People don’t have guns in their homes to promote the safety of their kids.
“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
i hope you’re right, but i don’t think you are
I don’t think you’re right, and I’m honestly a little concerned about your mental state.
There are still states, counties, and municipalities. There is law enforcement at all those levels, and they’re traditionally against roving rapist bands.
Bruh I live in oklahoma. Admittedly our second largest city did just elect a democrat, but outside of that every level of my state is pro trump to a terrifying degree. Police officers here fly trump flags on their cars. And in my local town just a couple years ago an officer got put on paid leave for raping a 13(?) year old boy.
Part of the psyops to polarize our country further also includes radicalizing liberals. Thankfully, we’ve just been much, much slower at adopting extremist, violent views than the magats.

how about this: take your “radicalized liberals” and GO FUCK YOURSELF with it
yes, i’m “polarized” against rapists. why aren’t you?
Touch some fucking grass dude.
you’re right, everything will be fine
nothing to worry about
There’s plenty to worry about. You might be focused on the wrong thing.
The person you replied to was being sarcastic
I know. I wouldn’t have responded with anything if I thought it was meant at face value.
Just because I don’t think there are going to be roving bands of child rapists going door to door doesn’t mean I think there’s nothing to worry about from another Trump term.
I think door to door was hyperbole, but if you dont think damn near everyone in trumps closet is going to come out as the next epstein you either havent been paying attention or youve drank the koolaid.
