"UNIQUE HUMANS". Content Warning.
I created this article and art to finalize my story writing regarding the results of the 2024 election. I am having a GRIM time wrapping my head around the masses of people who voted for authoritarian rule. I AM NOT GOING BACK! I must shout it out! This is the 21st century and the far-right wealthy people and over half of America voted to live under authoritarian rule. If I were wealthy, I would still be an empath, humanatarian, and caring person, not a rich fool that wants to dictate to the world. In my opinion' anyone who wants to dictate over others is a very weak human. A dictator has mental issues, low self-esteem, and is a bitter individual full of hate, destruction, and anger. They are small people who must bully others to cover up their inadequacies and fear of rejection as they tear up everything and everyone that disagrees with their abuse.

Trump Taps Fox News Host Pete Hegseth for Defense Secretary: A Controversial Choice or Strategic Masterstroke?
Introduction The recent announcement that former President Donald Trump has selected Fox News host and former Army National Guard officer Pete Hegseth as his choice for Secretary of Defense has set the political sphere abuzz. While Hegseth is known for his military experience and outspoken political views, his nomination for such a crucial and high-stakes role raises significant questions. Is Hegseth’s potential leadership at the Department of Defense a calculated move in line with Trump’s vision for national security, or does it introduce new challenges given Hegseth’s lack of traditional governmental defense experience? Here, we examine what this appointment could mean for U.S. defense policy, Hegseth’s suitability for the role, and the likely implications on both domestic and international stages.
