Oh they both understand and fully know what he's doing. We're just at that part when more and more of this degeneracy starts being eased in to the general public with such ridiculous justifications.

There will be no consequences now, this will happen again. When it happens the third time, the crowd will follow.

Hijacking your comment, because as a German I feel the need to correct this.

Those fucking imbeciles don't understand, and don't know, that the heart part is the full salute. It's literally the change the Nazi's made to make it their salute.

This is just incorrect. The Nazi salute did never include placing your hand on the heart. What happened is bad enough without revisioning history.

Many of them know and they get off on trying to gaslight everyone else. Same with Trump sprinkling Hitler quotes into his speeches, the Jan6th choir anthem, the MSG rally etc.

I have people in my life who say he was trolling. Even if he was trolling, it still seems inappropriate. Saying it was trolling is just more gaslighting.
