A Hegseth confirmation would symbolize a larger cultural moment — one in which norms of decency and accountability risk being discarded in the rush to reject progressivism.

The very idea of America being "great" again is that white men will be in charge and they can be drunk at work and enjoy the occasional sexual assault without consequences. Is that the America you want?

I don't think that's quite what they're going for.
I disagree with you obviously, but I respect your right to that opinion.
I actually think it's all about saying whatever it takes to stay in power. Same thing that dems do.
Both parties are the same: power hungry.
Do you actually disagree with me? Of course the purpose is to stay in power, I am just pointing out what is being said for that purpose, and to whom.
Are the democrats also deplorable? Yes but not in the same way, and to bring it up in this context seems like whataboutism or "both sides" which is a whole other tangent not relevant to my post. Anyway I don't disagree with you.
