I specifically mentioned the pro-Putin part in response to the above poster wondering if MAGA communism was some sort of FSB op; I figured Hinkle being pro-Trump was implicit in me noting his self-description.

I actually just finished the former, and would I be right to assume that even if some of its citations are allegedly a tad sloppy, it’s still more than correct enough on the big picture to be a decent base for further reading? (It certainly matches reporting I’ve read on the IDF archives, etc.)

Which is to say, I do think there’s something to the imperial boomerang here, but in a more “the shittiest vets join the feds to live out their thwarted fantasies by helping to reinforce the latter’s cargo cult militarization”.

That said, by the government’s own count, about 1/3 of CBP are in fact veterans, though how they’ve acted suggests that CBP likely draws more from the Hegseth-types who thinks they were too constrained by the actual military / fantasize about “kicking ass” far more than they actually did.

Oh, let’s just say anti-Indian racism was already a viral trend among online MAGA last year! Hell, I can go to a Bloomberg video about US 7-11s and half the comments will be specifically blaming Indians for their relatively poor quality vs. Japanese ones.

Anecdotally, virtually none of my coworkers or customers gave a shit about what dumbass leftists were saying, despite my county being solid blue; the non-voters had largely tuned out well before election season, and the one coworker who complained about Dems abandoning the working class 1/2
