There is only one real American. He lives in a suburb with real american values. He has never had a matcha latte. He is a great favorite. He knows that real education can’t happen at universities. He has never used a laptop. His feet are light and nimble. He says that he will never die.

Honestly it'd be hilarious if Hegseth started a holy war here. The Battle of Provo. The Great Schism of Moab.
Amanda Marcotte@amandamarcotte.bsky.social · 2mo agoHegseth refusing — and continuing to refuse — to call Mormons "Christian" is a real leopards-eating-faces moment. But it's a lot more than that.
