He wasn't a fan of the Birchers, but took his views from conservative media, and I've often wondered what he would make of the Trump circus. I honestly haven't been sure. Could have gone either way.
This would have broken him. He'd say these people were crazy and that Trumpism was a criminal con.

"Onward Christian soldiers, marching as to war.
With the cross of Jesus, going on before.."Fucking idiots are still fighting the crusades .....
@oldguycrusty @mls14 @ArmyGirl @BrianJopek I remember that being used as a punchline in a satirical sketch about Tony Blair "singing from the same hymn sheet" as George W Bush while they were attempting to make their case during the run up to the invasion of Iraq.
Back then, Blair was seen as being dragged into it by Bush, and didn't want there to be any perception of it being a 'religious war'. It's scary but unsurprising that they're willing to use that language now, although I doubt that the motivation really is that for everyone involved.
(There might not be much in it, but do I wonder about the sequencing of Venezuelan oil tanker captures not long before a SMO pushes oil prices way up.)

The only reason why somebody like Hegseth would lose his mind over a corporation stating they would not participate in military mass surveillance of the US population or “automated lethal operations” is because they are planning to do it.
This is the same shit that went on in Gaza that is where all of this technology has been field tested already.
Gaza is a blueprint
@GhostOnTheHalfShell @BrianJopek they better hope their AI systems are secure because it would only take one hacker to turn their automated killing drones against them

While the force writ large is increasingly No Pref, the officer corps remains in the grip of a persistent fundie infestation.
Good luck making your accession numbers when women, Black, Latinx, LGBTQ, and No Prefs stop showing up.
