OPINION: Tim Snyder, a Yale scholar, is genuinely concerned about the Department of Defense candidate.
Tim Snyder, a Yale University writer, has a trick up his shirt that he’s determined to use as much as he can: Donald Trump and his friends are dictators in waiting.
The historian recently wrote a thread on X ( formerly Twitter ), detailing how Pete Hegseth, Trump’s nominee to lead the Department of Defense, is “part of a decapitation strike” on America.
” Hegseth, a Christian Reconstructionist, believes that Americans may be governed not by law or by the Constitution but by God– as interpreted of course by Hegseth and his pals”, Snyder wrote on X on Tuesday.
If it sounds common, you may have read it on Snyder’s Substack on November 24, 2024 or similar problems on November 15 of last year, as Charles Cooke pointed out at National Review.
Snyder even suggested that Hegseth” could become counted upon to disregard threats to America from overseas and to use a removed and politicized military against’enemies within’.”
According to the historian,” This is consistent with Trump’s avowed purpose to construct a kind of tyranny on the remnants of a dysfunctional authorities.”
” Trump’s election of Hegseth is strongest understood as part of a death attack against the republic”, Snyder concluded. He predicted that a Christian Reconstructionist battle against Americans led by the Department of Defense would probably destroy the country.
( One of Snoder’s rants has been criticized by even the liberal Nation, who described one of his books as” the apotheosis of a particular paranoid style that has emerged among liberals in Trump’s wake. )
13. So, Hegseth represents a regime-changing plan. Hegseth’s election by Trump is best understood as part of a death attack against the state. The Department of Defense’s Christian Reconstructionist warfare against Americans is likely to end in its wake.

In fact, Hegseth is not going to guide a “decapitation hit” against the United States. Some academics work in a bubble and spend too much time on MSNBC and CNN. Therefore, they think that anyone who supports Mitt Romney is a threat to America and has key plans to end the nation and establish a dictator.
Snyder’s rants don’t represent any kind of reality, but they do fit well in a university cafe and will probably make him a significant contributor to The Contrarian.
Hegseth is a former who, owing to his qualifications as a Fox News host, has the ability to properly communicate Trump’s views. His outsider training might make him a great commander to rebuild the military, which has unfavorably developed a waking mindset.
