Love how the phrasing of this question assumes the only two positions on AI are “massively against [it]” and “acceptance.”

It’s also important to remember that you’re not even required to have a response.
There will be a flood of conspiracy theories from both sides about what the DC National Guard shooting "really" was. Except nobody knows exactly what happened or if anyone died, and there are no details about the shooter. Sometimes the proper response is not to respond for a while.

Can’t understand feeling so certain of my importance to an organization I claim to believe in, that I refuse to step aside even after I’ve killed somebody. Wtf goes on in some people’s heads?

Trump does this as a kind of self-soothing behavior, whenever his polling numbers go down and his lickspittles are all too busy to massage his tender balls in person.
On Sunday, Trump posted images of posts from a QAnon-promoting figure with explicit QAnon imagery. Trump's now amplified posts with explicit QAnon imagery dozens of times, & has amplified this figure's Truth Social account nearly 40 times.
The QAnon community has hyped these new amplifications.

In my Grifters and Ideologues theory, Hegseth is your classic grifter. Hegseth doesn't know his job well and doesn't care to know if well. He is obsessed with how people look, which reveals a profound lack of understanding of the military and an obsession with tv.
