"Hegseth is probably the most openly Christian nationalist true believer in the entire Trump administration (Russell Vought may be tied with him). He always brings Jesus to the war party. Because, of course, in the theology of Christian nationalism Jesus is a Warrior. It may well be their central image of the Son of God — a bloodthirsty, revenge-seeker with a sword in hand."

"In what was nicknamed by FOX News a 'Come to Jesus' meeting, Hegseth said that the newly-renamed Department of 'War' would be purging itself of any and all vestiges of 'woke.'
And, unsurprisingly, as Hegseth struck a derivative Patton-like pose before a screen-wide American flag, he brought Jesus into his speech."

Christianity is like the English language, subversive through its adaptability.
Cultural appropriation morphs into control.
It's a kind of a promiscuous willingness to get into bed with anyone to gain power.

"President Trump did not have many bad things to say about America’s foreign adversaries. He spoke about Vladimir Putin in largely neutral terms (only saying he was 'disappointed' in him) and barely mentioned China.
He did, however, speak with great moral clarity about certain classes of Americans whom he views as a grave threat:"

"The American left: 'They’re really bad. They’re bad people.' Again, he’s talking about Americans here.
His own domestic political opponents: 'They’re vicious people that we have to fight, just like you have to fight vicious people. Mine are a different kind of vicious.'
American journalists: 'sleazebags.'
Residents of American inner cities: 'animals.'”

"This is not normal. It’s dangerous af. …
Trump was open about how he wants the military to engage with civilians: He said that 'quell[ing] civil disturbances' is 'going to be a big thing for the people in this room.' …
The entire senior leadership of America’s military has been put on notice. They now understand how Trump intends to use their forces."
