The strong need NEVER demonstrate their strength. It is readily apparent the second they enter a room. It is the weak that bully, flex, preen, seek to dominate, saber-rattle, peacock.
These are comically weak, insecure, feeble-minded, fatuous little men.

This is the most infuriatingly witless talking point. No history is “erased” by the removal of a monument. What he means is “we want to celebrate and honor racism,” but that sounds bad, so we’re supposed to pretend this illiterate goon has some deep interest in the study of history.
Hegseth on restoring a Confederate monument in Arlington cemetery: "We recognize our history. We don't erase it. We don't follow the woke lemmings off the cliff that want to tear down statues ... we're proud of our history."
