President-elect Donald Trump stunned the Pentagon and the broader defense world by nominating Fox News host Pete Hegseth to serve as his defense secretary, tapping someone largely inexperienced and untested on the global stage to take over the world’s largest and most powerful military.
It baffels me that the american people are so stupid to elect him a second time. And this time, like we see, there is not going to be guardrails agains him. He is only picking yes men. It wouldn’t supprise me if Pentagon tries to get him killed before he get to the oval office.
It’s not stupidity, it was a clear option between something the American people know does not work, and something that might work.
If the Biden/Harris status quo continued, beyond the genocide and other awfulness, the median American would die from COVID or other such disease at their desk at work in their 80s while still stressing about how 2/3rds their 5 figure paycheck goes to rent and 1/3rd goes to their 1200 kcal/day diet.
Maybe Trump fixes it, maybe Trump ends it, but that above ever enshittificated scenario does not happen.
It’s like making a meth empire when you’re diagnosed with stage 4 cancer while poor. Best case scenario is better than the best case scenario in the alternative choices.
