I agree with this by and large. I think Trump is in it for Trump, primarily. But he earned my vote by being less crazy than the Dem candidate.And all of this happened under the leadership of the people Trump/Hegseth are trying to expose. Like Trump, Hegseth is not what I would build in a lab to be POTUS or SecDef but I trust them to conduct their business slanted more towards the will/good of the American republic over the interest of the MIC. Just like the NIH being steered by pharma, I don't think we need a defense dept steered by the MIC and I think we've been in that position for a while.

We can’t even make our own ships anymore. Crazy. Both R and D are responsible for that.
Of course they didn’t. These choices are not mutually exclusive. No one expects a Republican to nominate some flaming liberal. There are dozens of qualified conservative Republican Generals and Admirals, etc. who could lead the pentagon. And none were chosen. Same with AG. Same with HHS.The fat black dude absolutely sucked. Your preferred qualifications didn't protect us from that ahole.
