And that is an important part of this administration! They're shitty humans reveling in being shitty humans! Hegseth is a bad person! Kennedy is a fucking weirdo monster! Elon Musk is a neo Nazi troll who is dismantling the government for grift but also runs on white supremacist grievance mongering!
They're doing both! Hegseth is pushing a terrible Christian nationalist/neo Confederate/Western Chauvinist ideology onto the military, but he's a terrible person who sexually assaults women, hates minorities, hates the queer community, hates women. The two are interrelated!
The fact that they mostly hate the same people links them all together, and that's important for their cohesiveness as a group--it's why they use the same slurs, why they are doing their performative "anti-woke" racist bullshit, why they target the same groups. The hate and the harm are the point.
And that's why I refuse to engage with the MAGA crowd anymore. If it was a difference in tax rates, I'd argue with them all day and have fun doing it. But if their moral compass is so fucked as to think these people are good? They deserve nothing but scorn and rejection from society.
On the upside, they are in the process making many, many, many motivated enemies among people with excellent knowledge and skills, like enraged FBI agents, the covert services, and the military/veterans.
