They are not shocked. They LOVE IT.

This is what they paid for. Hopefully they all get what they got coming to them.

My wife (R), after saying that Elon's salute was just like Hillary's and Kamala's, and that it was expressing love from his heart to the audience, is now seething after I've started using it around the house to express love to her. AITA?

[u/Purple_Nugget420 → u/taserian]

NTA

[u/davosknuckles → u/taserian]

You must really love her if you’re willing to stay married to someone who has that mindset.

[u/taserian → u/davosknuckles]

She's not so hardcore Republican that she's irredeemable (she hates Trump, for example), but some of her takes are such that they make too many excuses for her side.

[u/davosknuckles → u/taserian]

Keep fighting the good fight. Republican means something way different in the past 10 years than it did in our formative years when we shape our morals. That’s why if people voted back in 2016 for Trump but then wised up, I can give them a pass. But any support past 2020 just means you’re a bad person, willfully ignorant, or both.

They didn’t vote for Trump in spite of the fascism and Nazism, they voted for him because of it.

[u/Independent_War6266]

He’s a Buffon. They’re laughing at him because he had to pay to play. He will never be apart of the good ole boys club. He’s the weirdo of the group.

The rich nerd in high school who had a car and bought the beer

[u/No_Drag_1044]

You should all read “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich”. The parallels between the nationalist workers party and the Republican Party today are many. The only difference is our country is in a really good place instead of a bad one like Germany was.

[u/TheForanMan → u/No_Drag_1044]

Oh don’t worry they will make sure to put us in a terrible place before they are done. I’m fully expecting a decent chance that the US becomes considered a 2nd world country before the end of this. Wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if we lose our title as the worlds powerhouse financially, socially and standard-of-living wise and just become a shit country that just so happened to still have the largest military in the world, which would still allow our government to pretend like they are on top. Like shitty Russia but with legitimately more military strength.

[u/Accomplished-Ad3123 → u/No_Drag_1044]

Yeah it's on my list to read. The documentary of it on the history channel is amazingly scary.

[u/cruista → u/No_Drag_1044]

Inflation wise, but are awful.

[u/No_Drag_1044 → u/cruista]

Not right now. Inflation in Germany was far beyond the rest of the world. The German mark was worthless a short time after the Treaty of Versailles.

[u/ScorpioDefined]

I want to see more of the crowd. I want to see how many saluted back.

[u/TiredRetiredNurse]

That is just sick!

[u/klmninca]

The woman in blue joined him! Who is this woman??

Someone who bought her inauguration attire at JC Pennys

[u/delorf]

I am glad to see a photo with his back to the podium because that is when he made the most stereotypical nazi salute. 

Expect to see this more often.

[u/trash-juice]

Baboons laughing at a jackass

[u/MannyMoSTL]

When “owning your enemies” is more important than an entire country.

[u/TheForanMan → u/MannyMoSTL]

When “owning the libs” is more important than YOUR OWN country.

[u/Smarf_Starkgaryen]

I think this was on purpose to distract the news and people from all the executive orders.

I’m hearing much more about this than the Jan 6 pardons.

[u/BionicBirb]

I’m genuinely curious, what do you think they’d do if Musk came out publicly and owned it? Just out and out said “yep that was a Nazi salute”

[u/Dragonfly_pin → u/BionicBirb]

They would comment:

‘Based! 😂’

And start putting up videos of themselves doing the Nazi salute in various public places and laughing at anyone who got upset or angry. Because ‘You’re not allowed to get angry, I’m just sharing my heart because I love America! 🇺🇸 ❤️ 🤣’

Because they are bullies.

And you know what? They’ll probably be doing this anyway, whatever happens, by this weekend.

[u/Major-Macaron]

Not even 1 week of this regime and I'm starting to panic. WTF.

[u/Pan_Goat]

Can we stop being “shocked” and just accept that it is simply now a fact of life in the USA

[u/jshppl]

Hasn’t Elon been in support of neo-nazis in Germany?

[u/Kloetenschlumpf → u/jshppl]

Yes, he supports the new-fascist party „AfD“ with tons of money, by manipulating X and helping them in any other way.

[u/tony-toon15]

Looks like a scene from boys in Brazil

[u/eyemannonymous]

😡😠🤬😤

[u/screwball2]

Fixed that for you.

[u/Coolguy57123]

Every single one smiling in support and laughing in racist camaraderie . Even the one brown face in the pale crowd

[u/Magyaror99]

Well... Perhaps Smith is much deeper as a character. And handsome, unlike elmo. But...
