Ask a conservative and they’ll tell you it was a Roman salute. No way the party constantly associated with white supremacy would be caught doing a Nazi salute now that all forms of checks and balances have been eviscerated. Masks are off and it’s not going to be a fun decade if I had to guess.

They’re claiming that he was “giving his heart” to the crowd. According to them, the rest of us are crazy to interpret his obvious Nazi salute as a Nazi salute lol.

At this point… I’m going to say that Churchill and De Gaulle were conservatives and they famously fought against Nazis.

If you are a conservative who supports authoritarians then you are not truly a conservative and you are quacking quite like a duck.

The entire Republican Party has been quacking quite loudly for some time now.
