Yale’s Timothy Snyder has a novel take on Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the Department of Defense, Pete Hegseth: He believes that Hegseth intends to end the republic. On X yesterday, Snyder concluded a 13-part thread about Hegseth by proposing that he “represents a policy of regime change” whose “nomination” is “best understood as part of a decapitation strike against the republic” that will usher in a “Christian Reconstructionist war on Americans.”
