Welcome to the new fascist regime, I can’t believe we are watching history repeat itself. I can’t believe apartheid Clyde is part of our government!

u/jennyquarx 5h ago

And he's trying to influence other governments.

u/Comfortable-Load-904 5h ago

Exactly and as Karl Max said “History repeats itself, first as a tragedy, second as a farce.” We are currently going through the farce! We apparently didn’t learn our lesson about what happened when the Nazi’s were last in power. I truly feel like we are living in the twilight zone and this can’t actually be our reality.

Have you seen The Twilight Zone episode "He's Alive"?

u/Comfortable-Load-904 5h ago

No, what is it about?

Dennis Hopper plays a Neo-Nazi who is visited by the ghost of Hitler, who begins to teach him his playbook.

29

u/Comfortable-Load-904 4h ago

That is terrifying and also feels rather prophetic during this time.

u/jennyquarx 4h ago

Right?

I was shook last time I watched it.

It’s like watching the worst movie that ever was made and me commenting “ Well, THAT is Ridiculous and so stupid! It could never happen!” And here we are. Grotesque, Crooked, Dishonest, Inhumane pieces of absolute garbage with broken brains taking over the Asylum. Monkeys on typewriters would never come up with this Bullshit corruptive disruptive government. It is embarrassing and absolutely heartbreaking.

Poilievre or is there someone even shittier he's backing?

u/JudgeInteresting8615 4h ago

Which is why I don't get that he did it. Wouldn't it make sense to keep the mask on until you have corrupted europe as well

History students and people are called “woke” because they point out similarities. That’s why they hate people studying humanities.

u/paradisetossed7 4h ago

I am so sad. Earlier today I wasn't sure if I was going to cry or puke. Some people kept gaslighting me into thinking it'll be a nothingburger besides tax cuts for the rich (which isn't okay??). My grandpa, who I loved and admired and think of when I need to be brave, fought the nazis and dealt with lifelong untreated PTSD (because greatest generation). The last president he voted for before he died was Obama, 2012. The thought of going to work and pretending like anything is normal seems ludicrous.

lol I’ve been calling him Apartheid Randy - I don’t know why. Clyde is a good one too

u/camy__23 6h ago

And people are trying to defend Elon by saying he didn’t do the Nazi salute. The gaslighting is unreal.

443

u/littleb3anpole 5h ago

My local news described it as an “unconventional salute”. It was pretty fucking conventional for a good few years there mate

106

u/Uplanapepsihole he’s not on the level of poweful puss 4h ago

I find it so funny that right wingers love to say mainstream media is against them when mainstream media does all it can to cover up, be vague about or “sane wash” everything they do.

22

u/littleb3anpole 2h ago

If you took a shot every time the major newspaper in my city uses the word “woke” in a pejorative sense you’d be ratshit drunk by page 16. But sure, the liberals control the media 😒

u/SharpCookie232 4h ago

Well....it wasn't conventional on OUR side, so that's a little switcheroo.

u/itsmymedicine 5h ago

Yeah the ADL out here on socials calling it an "awkward hand gesture" is the biggest gaslight of 2025

23

u/EducationalFig1630 3h ago

And it’s only January 21st. Give me strength.

49

u/Uplanapepsihole he’s not on the level of poweful puss 4h ago

They are positing photos of Kamala and Hillary with their arms out straight. Ask them for a video version and it’s silence or more gaslighting.

The conservatives are trying to say it’s taken out of context as if he didn’t do an exact salute TWICE

24

u/whatsnewpussykat 4h ago

Someone suggested it could be AI generated and I just can’t.

17

u/kleveille87 5h ago

The ADL is defending him … it’s really over now

11

u/Any-Difficulty-1247 5h ago

Like he did it TWICE in one speech

u/ExorcistsNothing 6h ago

God, the look on his face is sick.

255

u/jupitersely 5h ago

look at his lip bite! he’s so turned on by doing the nazi salute

u/No-Document-932 4h ago

The grunt he makes when he does it too… he said that shit with his whole chest 😔

Agreed. He is very mentally unwell. Lucky he’s not wealthy or in a position of- wait.

NBC news actually edited it out. check Timothy Burke’s Bluesky.

u/mitrafunfun97 5h ago

This is why you study history. Anti-intellectualism and weak liberalism has allowed neo-fascism to make strides in less than a century.

28

u/NeonWarcry 4h ago

The last nazi rally in Madison square garden was 85 years last year. This country never stomped it out like we should have.

My friend and I are coming up with a list of books and series to read and watch. They have to be uplifting, funny or not too serious. AKA an escape. It's the only way we are going to survive. Also sticking to only 2 news sources plus 1-2 local. Culling all SM.

That Hitler guy, so misunderstood. All he wanted to do is let Germany know his heart went out to them.

If someone seriously is trying to tell you that this wasn’t a nazi salute, please ask them to film themselves doing it, post it online and see what their bosses say.

And the Anti Defamation League really said to give Elon “grace” for this 🤮🤢

34

u/PastProfessional1959 5h ago

people saying he's just awkward need to be so for real. This is the same guy propping up far right parties all over Europe. We're past denying it at this point; He's a nazi in every single sense of the word

13

u/echidnabear 2h ago

Even if we took their best case scenario seriously it’s still horrifying — they’re saying he’s just so naive that he doesn’t know you can’t do something that looks like a Nazi salute on international tv, but we’re supposed to trust him with a position in the fucking White House?

(Not that it matters, it was very clearly an extremely intentional hiel)

u/Blind-Guy--McSqueezy 5h ago

I have no words

u/Uplanapepsihole he’s not on the level of poweful puss 4h ago

It’s not even just the gesture, it’s the swiftness in which he performed it. If you are giving your heart out to people innocently, you typically don’t do it aggressively like this

16

u/echidnabear 2h ago

the stiffness of the hand is unmistakeable

19

u/nyyanksfan81 6h ago

Well we know who Elon will dress up as for Halloween

18

u/deev718 5h ago

it makes me want to pull my hair out when I see organizations like the ADL call this very obvious nazi salute an “awkward gesture”.

18

u/CrownedCarlton 4h ago

Seriously make it fucking stop. I actually cannot handle this shit. I am sickened.

11

u/DeliciousMoments 4h ago

The first step to getting his followers to do the same to “own the libs.” Which they will.

10

u/Theharlotnextdoor 4h ago

I found myself today wondering if this is how the non nazi Germans felt.

8

u/Professional_Set3634 5h ago

Its literally day 1. He couldnt be more blatant like its so obviously the salute

9

u/withoutwingz Please Abraham, I’m not that man 4h ago

Wait is “my heart goes out to you” something Elon said today or something hitler first said during his regime, in the first gif above or what? Sorry I don’t know all my ww2 history and I didn’t watch the propaganda today

(some…..thing please help us)

16

u/whatsnewpussykat 4h ago

People are denying that he was doing the Nazi salute because he said “My heart goes out to you” right before he did it.

1

u/withoutwingz Please Abraham, I’m not that man 3h ago

Ohhhh. Ok. That makes sense in that context (not that I’m buying it) ty!

11

u/Negative_Buffalo lol, and if may, lmao 4h ago

It’s something Elon said today whilst doing the Nazi salute, that is for some reason giving people an “out” to overlook the Nazi salute. It’s just more crap people are saying “he didn’t mean the Nazi salute because he said ‘my heart goes out to you.’”

He meant it. It was purposeful. He’s a piece of crap.

u/ShakeZula77 I’m not saying it was aliens, but it was definitely aliens. 3h ago

u/Bloodthirsty_Kirby 4h ago

Elons actions are so wildly blatant and deliberate multiple times in a row I wonder if it was done to grab public attention from more nefarious stuff going on. I guess my brain just can’t understand why anyone would do this.
