The rise of the #broligarchs:
They have a vision for the new Trump term & it’s darker than you think.

An ideology inspired by #SciFi & fantasy.

Odd among all the uniforms & suits.

Susceptibility to #blackmail's always a major #security concern, it's exactly why for decades gays could not get security clearances.
#Hegseth claims he has already succumbed to blackmail.
Not #DefSec-worthy.
Pete #Hegseth's views on #feminism & #diversity at Princeton:
