I remember hearing somewhere, and believe, “a person can do a bad thing, but that doesn’t make them a bad person.”

Know where can I find a breakdown of the symbolism behind the intro?
For me, it’s hard to watch. I feel like I got bungeed down into the deepest depths of the bottomless Uncanny Valley, coming back up covered in oily black ooze, but I look down at its just my hands, my clothes, my normal skin. I think I’d appreciate it more if I knew what and why what was going on.

I imagine they meant Hegseth is as if the raincoat was wet in a way that just soaks you - the opposite of helpful. Useless, even.
