This should be the sticking point to invoke the 25th. Officials need to be loud and make a stink about how Trump can’t tell fact from clear fiction and therefore cannot perform the duties of the office. Make the people of America see the image on the news everyday and make those on his side say out loud if they think it’s fake or real. Half of the masses will never be convinced that he lacks the morality to lead until they’re already in his camps. This is the earliest clear as day moment to act on that which cannot be held to subjective scrutiny or partisanship.
Cool. Now explain “deus vult” and the Jerusalem Cross in the context of their modern usage in North America.
It’s Latin for “God wills it” lol used in the first crusades.
Hegseth is Christian. What do you expect? He himself said he’s a devoted Christian. Even attend Jimmy Carter’s funeral in a church with those same crosses.
I’m aware of the far right uses of the cross and some of the phrases.
Other than the book he wrote about the crusades, none of these posters have provided any proof that he’s a fascist Nazi.

It’s very suspicious. I wouldn’t say it’s incriminating evidence, but I would call it supporting if there were other fasc-y things about the individual.
Which there sure as fuck are.
But I dunno. The guy is either wearing a white-supremacist dog whistle, or he is super into the crusades (which famously went very well /s) which should disqualify him from leading the military either way.
I’m not a big Hegseth fan, I just want to make sure no one is talking shit about his army unit tattoo. Or misidentifying his army unit tat as a neo Nazi symbol. Cause there’s been a few of those already. I know that’s the least of everyone’s worries, and I can understand the accusations with the cross, cause every grunt I know has some kind of military tribute type tattoo.
People have died wearing that patch and shouldn’t be categorized as a “neo Nazi symbol”.
I know the cross has been the main focus, but like you said, he’s either a devout Christian history buff or he’s just a plain fascist.
Give me a fucking break. Do you carry water for all facists or just him?
He is a corporate hack from Fox News. This is literally the textbook definition of facism. As far as the Neo Nazi bit, I think the Iron Cross covers it for me.
