Trump's nominee for secretary of defense should alarm all of us | Moira Donegan

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : Trump wants to put him in charge of 3 million civilian and military employees, one of the largest budgets of any government agency in human history and the nation's security and military readiness.
51% : They may be interpreted, in Maga world, as signs of a man with the kind of baseless self-assurance, disregard for others and determination to dominate that the Trump administration has always prized most highly, not least of all in Trump himself.
39% : Like many of Hegseth's alleged encounters with women, the vote will come down to an exercise in domination - and that is the kind of contest that Trump has always aimed to win.
34% : Trump's is a masculinity of domination and swagger, in which women's bodies are a theater on which men prove their own strength; respect or kindness towards others is a sign of weakness; and good governance is for nerds and losers who simply don't have the balls for self-dealing.
