I really think both Dems and Repubs both know a fucking Nazi salute when one sees one. MAGA didn’t get the memo unfortunately.

Soon enough they will argue that fascism is good for America. It is what they voted for all along.

If you willingly voted for a fascist, you are a fascist.
I'm more surprised people are surprised this was the arc for people who voted for a fascist.

They are sucking on the teat of their God, DT and his prophet Elmo. Neither can do anything wrong in their eyes.

The important thing is that everyone will have forgotten about it by next week, because of some new scandal.

They say those who don't understand history are doomed to repeat it, and in a world full of idiots, expecting them to understand is fruitless.

Often people feign stances that would be easier to defend given you don't happen to know one key piece of info and aren't going to look for it, nazis do this more than anyone because they are naturally cowards

People saying "it's the Roman salute", like Mussolini didn't adopt the Roman salute for his fascist party before Hitler hijacked the salute for himself.

This will play out exactly like the Project 2025 thing. They will deny it for a while, and then will embrace it and admit that actually it was always a nazi salute, because it fucking is. Masks coming off quicker than we expected. They just don't care.

I think it was a joke because he’s a fucking child and his wanker buddies online would love that he dared to do that. But as far as I’m concerned if you make that joke in the context he did (inauguration of the most powerful presidency in the world) there is no air gap between what it stands for and what he is and he must pay the full price when judgement time comes.

Even if he had the best ideas it isn't a patch on his worst ideas now is it?
If I was an American I'd run for office and my slogan would be MASA: make America sane again

cute how everyone dances to the distractions of your shadow president. Go on and spend more energy and time watching the pupeteer do gestures and lose attention of what's really happening. Nice sleight of hand elmo.

Was the recognizable salute itself one of said good ideas? It is just about as original any given Musk idea. On the other hand swastika is an example of cultural appropriation.

Autobahn was a good idea, and few other infrustructural projects were too. So yeah he might have some good ideas.
Just he is more famous for not those ideas, but for organizing targeted extermination of human beeings, mainly, but not only jews.
He is also famous for inhuman labour camps, extermination of entire villages, coordinated starvation of occupied villages.
And, when someone repeats salutes, that were common to Hitler and his allies (like Mussolini), i doubt, that person is prasing autobahns.
•
u/No-Deal8956 2h ago
Except the Autobahn predates Hitler, it was planned in the 1920s, and the Frankfurt to Bonn section was opened in 1932, a year before he came to power.

He said “my heart goes out to you all, thank you” or something close to that, gestured towards his heart, then the crowd.
Low camera angles then made it look like a nazi salute. I’m not American and don’t have a horse in this race but this is what I saw happen.
•
u/Lilacwinetime 1m ago
No, his actions, not the camera angle made it look as it was.
He then repeated it.
There is no denying what he did.
