Summary
Army Capt. Rebecca M. Lobach, a highly accomplished pilot and top 20% ROTC cadet, was among 67 killed when her Black Hawk helicopter collided with an American Airlines jet near Washington, D.C.
Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth blamed “DEI” for the crash despite no official cause being determined.
Lobach had 450+ flight hours and numerous military honors.
MAGA sure seem like a direct continuation and very minor evolution of the character of GOP I’ve witnessed in my lifetime.
Yeah, around what like 2008 (?) there was a faction within the party known as The Tea Party, which was already starting in this direction. That’s where stuff like the “long form birth certificate” bullshit started, and mass shooting crisis actors, and various conspiracies and lies in the media. A lot of it was already there, but this was bringing it out more into the open.
To me, it seems like it was steady refinement from at least Nixon all the way to today. Jair always being as shitty as they can get away with.
