    No, that’s Vance. Hegseth is the one with the christofascist tattoos; you don’t have those carved onto you out of cynicism.

      I think it is mostly cynicsm, that he doesn’t actually believe that nonsense, and that he’s playing those that do, and tattoos are a part of that. Guy was a fox news host, no way he’s a true believer.

      Yeah, I have a feeling Hegseth is either a true believer, or state mandated rehab brainwashed him into it.

      Or drunk visions talk to him.

      I don’t think Vance believes anything he says past what will keep him in power.
