Hegseth's hearing confirm that Trump has achieved centralizing power
So that senate hearing was damning, to me this is by far the scariest thing that could happen. Having a person like Pete Hegseth's who has just showed us he that he will put morality and the constitution aside and that Trump's word is unquestionnable. This person could not answer to a simple yes or no about whether he would break the law if Trump asked him to, whether he would deploy the military to invervene against protester and have them shot, whether he would invade Greenland or Panama if Trump ordered so. This person will be the next secretary of defense.
To me this sound far scarier then anything else we have heard so far because we now have a confirmation from the secretary of defense that he will do anything that Trump says. Trump has officially achieved centralizing power and the USA is about to become an authoritarian regimes and there isn't much we can do about it.
