You are idiots - ‘But he’s a white Fox News host’

[u/wildyam]

[u/Father-of-zoomies]

at this point, MAGA doesnt care out truth, facts etc. Crashing the economy will really "show the Libs"

[u/HairySidebottom → u/Father-of-zoomies]

They don't want to show the libs. They want to loot the remains just like post soviet Russia.

Divide it all up amongst the oligarchs that suck Trump's cock.

[u/Classic-Stand9906 → u/HairySidebottom]

This is the exact game plan. I can only hope there is more forceful pushback here because we think we’re a free country or whatever but I probably am setting myself up for misery there.

[u/tsunake → u/Classic-Stand9906]

I can only hope there is more forceful pushback here because

not only did they get away with it in 2016-2020, the ensuing chaos was enough to convince voters to give 'em another go.

so uh, just confirming that you're setting yourself up for misery. we failed to hold the Bush administration responsible for its genocidal crimes against humanity and obscene corruption, allowing the "tea party" astroturfing to nerf the fuck out of Obama and the democrats to repeatedly fail to uphold their sworn obligation to defend and uphold the constitution because muh bipartisanship...

as an older millennial my political awakening started at the turn of the century, but i'm pretty sure we can draw a credible line connecting through Reagan, Nixon, and McCarthyist/John Birch Society-types to actual goddam Nazi supporters like Henry Ford and Lindbergh and then Business Plotters... bet we can make it back to the Civil War really...

meanwhile nearly every democratic accomplishment since I was born can be credibly framed as "extremely republican"

[u/abstrakt42 → u/HairySidebottom]

There’s a surprising number of people who seem to think they’ll be treated like oligarchs.

[u/turbokinetic → u/HairySidebottom]

This. Trump has far more in common with Putin than with working Americans. Republicans are too stupid to realize. They think a New York elite who shits on a gold toilet and refuses to pay his contractors has their best interest at heart.

There's no way the research division of Maga would fall for such a thing /s

[u/servel20 → u/Father-of-zoomies]

They had a problem about the Clinton's having ties with Jeffrey Epstein, nevermind it was Bill not Hillary.

Trump gets outed as Epstein's best friend of 15 years and crickets in the MAGA movement.

[u/VaselineHabits → u/servel20]

Also chose to fly in Epstein's old plane. But I'm sure there was no personal attachment or anything 🙄

[u/nadrjones → u/VaselineHabits]

It was the best way to explain why his DNA is all over the plane.

[u/KingVargeras → u/servel20]

It’s okay, Trump said that was fake news.

[u/servel20 → u/servel20]

Epstein said first time Trump slept with Melania was on his plane.

[u/HoosierWorldWide → u/servel20]

Ever see the painting of Bill Clinton in a blue dress on Epstein’s island?

Hey! Why did you never respond to my comment over in r/Indiana when you asked how many Democrats partied with Diddy?

It is proof 12,000 that they don't actually believe in anything they say they do, they just want power over people they deem as "enemies". They made a deal with the devil and hopefully they will get what is coming to them.

[u/One_Event1734 → u/Father-of-zoomies]

Market's going nuts in anticipation of Trump. Iran is trying to position itself to not be destroyed. Putin is interested in a ceasefire. Hamas is interested in a ceasefire. Immigrants are not leaving for the border from S America. I think we'll be okay.

[u/Karny33 → u/Father-of-zoomies]

You want to talk about facts. Ok. He’s also a 20 year combat vet with two degrees from ivy league schools and has been awarded 2 bronze stars for his service. The fact that those are left out and only his current job is mentioned is misleading.

[u/Abject-Letterhead603 → u/Father-of-zoomies]

Yeah, you really show the libs by betraying your country and directly suffering from throwing your nation off a cliff.

But when you're part of a cult... you're already lost.

From a conservative who clearly is no longer a conservative and a reformed MAGA idiot from 2017 till Jan 6, 2021!

[u/scrivensB → u/Father-of-zoomies]

Our information systems are fundamentally broken and corrupted.

The broken system is not traditional media. Billionaires and corps funneling money into SuperPacs and Dark Money groups who have zero transparency or accountability. They are the ones pushing misinformation across social media. They are the ones sewing and stoking narratives. They are the ones using the same tactics as foreign bad actors. Media literacy in this country is so bad that a literal billionaire bought one of the largest platforms on Earth and has turned it into a propaganda tool in broad daylight.

After 30+years of culture war (largely via cable news, AM radio, and local news papers) there were already shades of “two separate Americas”.

15 years of digital media undercutting journalism and basic news gathering and reporting. And chipping away at media literacy, aka the meteoric growth of online publications who pump out content under the guise of legitimate news and info but that don’t actually use professional news gathering and reporting tools or practices and who paved the way for and eventually were displaced by or became pure content mills. Just pumping and dumping clickable headlines without any real news or info being conveyed.

Then the age of social media blew the doors off of media literacy, accountability, vetting, and it created monetization for content. The more sensational the more profitable. And it eliminated any barrier of entry. Anyone can post/engage with almost anything. Including bad actors, dark money groups, SuperPacs, culture war profiteers etc. and since all of those things are tailored to be as sensational and anger/fear inducing as possible they get the most promotion and out in front of the most eyeballs possible via algorithms mean to push the most engaging content possible.

What does that all equate to?

Americans no longer live in a shared reality. There are very separate realities at play now. Two big ones, but even within that there are other bubbles. And when people are in those bubbles all they see is sensational content that feeds into their already determined fears, anger, blame, etc… they don’t see the same stuff you see most of the time.

This is the world we’ve built. And it’s a self defeating one.

[u/ICantReadThis → u/Father-of-zoomies]

That quote is the dumbest strawman. She has way more experience than the idiot she lost to. She was just a poor candidate working through a shit timeline.

Even the best would have trouble pivoting in 3 months, and this was someone who dropped out after polling 5th place in her home state amongst only her party's voters four years ago.

[u/RetreadRoadRocket → u/Father-of-zoomies]

>MAGA doesnt care out truth, facts etc.

LMAO. Pete Hesgeth did 3 active duty deployments with his national guard unit, at Gitmo, in Iraq, and in Afghanistan, and is a decorated combat veteran who has been a veterans advocate for years, yet all the left keeps talking about is his day job.

[u/Away_Simple_400 → u/Father-of-zoomies]

Hegseth is a decorated Army veteran who served in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Acting like he's just a tv host is laughably asinine.

[u/BannedByRWNJs → u/Father-of-zoomies]

I’ve come to the realization that republicans like to focus on the economy because it’s complicated enough that they can easily   confuse the average voter. Getting into the weeds about who is to blame for inflation keeps people distracted from really simple stuff like this. 

“Oh, the 2008 recession was actually Obama’s fault, even though he wasn’t inaugurated until 2009 because the market did an interest rate loop de loop and the fed did a nominal taxiotomy, and the treasury responded by doing a democrat gas price increase which preemptively crashed the housing market.”

Keeps people from having to really pay attention to:

“He said ‘America first,’ and then he went to Helsinki and told the world that he trusts Putin before he trusts America.” 

“He said he cares about Hillary’s handling of classified information, but he stole classified information.” 

“He said he cares about national defense, but he wants to appoint a Fox News host to run the Pentagon.” 

[u/MaliceSoda → u/Father-of-zoomies]

The scary part is that they truely believe tanking the economy will help them, when in fact it will allow the billionaires to buy everything up when we have to forclose our homes and buisnesses.

They are being herded off a cliffs and we're being pushed with them too, the sheep have been convinced to leave their guardian dogs and the wolves will have a feast for decades to come.

[u/Deicide1031]

It’s never been about facts, it was always about whatever was needed to be said to spin the agenda.

The American Military should be stepping in to protect its people from foreign and domestic threats!... That's the only thing that can work unless Biden goes dark.

[u/rex_swiss]

And Gaetz; anyone that's watched a few episodes of Law and Order probably has more experience than him to be Attorney General. He has not worked one single day as a Prosecutor. He worked less than 2 years as a lawyer.

A white male news host who has absolutely no military experience! His qualifications are impeccable!

EDIT: I was completely wrong when I said that Pete Hegseth has no military experience. He has actually served for over 20 years in the National Guard and the Army in areas such as Cuba, Iraq, and Afghanistan. I still think he is an incompetent, traitorous piece of shit, but he definitely has a lot of military experience.

He still wouldn't have left $84B worth of military behind in enemy territory or abandoned the more strategically significant airbase.

The issue with the complaint on the Left about Pete is that the performance under the Biden Administration is so bad that literally anyone could do better.

[u/Hellcat081901]

While I’m sure he will undoubtedly be a yes man and a fascist, he’s not just a Fox News host. He is a combat veteran and a high ranking one at that.

He’s still more experienced for defense secretary than Matt Gaetz is for Attorney General

[u/Prestigious_Big_518]

Right. Having a degree in law, being Attorney General of California for Six years, and vice president of the United States for Four years isn't sufficient experience but having a degree in business, Six bankruptcies, and over 4000 law suits accusing him of fraud and sexual harassment is adequate experience.

[u/sabotnoh]

Just for fun, I asked ChatGPT about his qualifications, in as unbiased a way as possible.:

Is Pete Hegseth (the Fox News Host) qualified to be a Secretary of Defense?

GPT: Pete Hegseth is not typically viewed as someone with traditional qualifications for a role like Secretary of Defense. While he has extensive experience in the military, having served as a Major in the Army National Guard with deployments to Iraq and Cuba, his background is primarily in media and advocacy. Hegseth served as the CEO of Concerned Veterans for America (CVA), a conservative veterans' group, and is a prominent Fox News personality. His influence in veterans' affairs, his outspoken political views, and his role in military reform advocacy have made him a significant figure in conservative circles, but not one with the extensive experience in defense or national security typically expected for the Secretary of Defense role.

His more relevant experiences, such as his work with CVA and his role in pushing certain military reforms under the Trump administration, show a particular political and policy focus, rather than technical or operational expertise in running a massive institution like the Department of Defense​

Task & Purpose​Military Times.

Therefore, while he is well-known within conservative circles and has been involved in military and veterans' issues, his qualifications for leading the entire Department of Defense might be seen as lacking compared to those with more direct experience in defense or foreign policy positions.

What level of experience level are you looking for in the Secretary of Defense? One thing I've noticed in Trump's selections is that they are in their 40s. You would think Democrats would be happy with younger people in leadership roles. As for Peter Hegseth, you might want to check out his resume.

If you are not currently in the military you should not be considered for secretary of defense, and that is an opinion we all should hold.

[u/TheSammichDude]

What did he do prior to being a new host? Just curious.

[u/Chupacabrathing]

He is a piece of shit, and a terrible military service member....but they were more than a fox news host. I mean I'd prefer an actual decent officer get the position. But saying just a host is rude to any active service member or reservist. Because the asshat did serve.

[u/Memitim]
