Pete Hegseth thinks his butch drag is convincing. It was, at least for the MAGA bro crowd, for a time.
But now that he's waging an idiotic war on Iran, a lot of his fanboys are freaking out.
It was all manly role-play! They didn't want a real war!

Sociopaths, which includes narcissists, never mature past a childlike level. Never. Would you trust an eight-year-old to make wartime decisions involving the entire US military?
"Hegseth’s rhetoric is so alarming that it sometimes eclipses how he also can come across like an eight-year-old boy inventing dialogue for the villain in his G.I. Joe game."
