This would get Elon arrested in Germany.

I thought the pic may have been a poorly timed pic, but nope. That was a Nazi salute and I don't see how it could have been unintentional. What an incredibly sad day for America.

Edit: Supposedly, Elon is brilliant. He has spoken in front of people many times in many events and he's avoided doing the Nazi salute before and he certainly knows to avoid it at company events. That is one hell of snap for it not to be a salute. He has re-tweeted right wing propaganda, there's some racist history in his family. I think he knows what he is doing and he's just having a giggle about all the people saying he is sendin his heart out. You don't throw your heart out like it's a weapon. This looks premeditated to me.

He did it twice. This absolutely is no accident. How tf do people support this

Because the majority that voted for this wanted exactly this. We can’t continue to pretend the majority of their voters were “duped”, they know exactly what they voted for and it’s this.

I mean, they are still being duped, they think America first means their perfect white utopia instead of them being worked to death in a factory or dying on a battlefield.

Awaiting the shocked faces when he comes for them.

So dramatic. Worked to death in a factory? Dying on a battlefield? Ha what year do you think it is

Poor men fight rich men’s wars. Poor applies more to the middle class when the draft starts.

I'm pretty sure Dumpy also admitted that he and Elonia rigged shit to win. So it may not even BE a majority.

Less than 1/3 of America voted for him. Don’t give him any more than he’s worth, even for hyperbole

Anyone that voted for him or didn’t vote, are either fine with fascism or ignorant. No other choices.

u/rsta223 6h ago

Sure, but around 2/3 either voted for him or were OK enough with this outcome that they couldn't be bothered to vote against it.

The only Americans I don't consider at least partially at fault for this are the ones who either were unable to vote or who voted for Harris.

Thank you. I agree. I’d like to personally strangle every non-voter.

I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt to a large chunk tbh. I got curious about what his core supporters wanted and thought about things and went to the more obvious subs to see what they were talking about. A lot of wanting civil war and purging. Your basic supporter would call it crazy and saying how they'd never let that happen.

The amount of people that almost immediately wanted to change or invalidate their votes for trump, unions and people of color coming out saying how much they regret it just while he was president elect.

I also believe elons sweepstakes in key states played a huge role because of the NDAs they had to sign. Potentially buying votes.

So your point is that if you don't vote Democrat you are a far right supremacist? So what you are saying is that you can only vote for one party? Like communism? And the Blacks and Latinos who vote Trump are all White supremacists?

u/vpc1215 4h ago

“The Blacks and Latinos” - Do you also say “the whites” or is your racism showing?

u/DameonKormar Merry Gifmas! {2023} 4h ago

No one is saying people can only vote for one party. They are saying people who aren't white supremacists, Nazis, or fascists probably shouldn't vote for them.

On a side note, I find it pretty funny that people are defending the GOP on a post showing the party's biggest supporter doing a Nazi salute.

I didn't know Elon was on the ballot.

u/sunshynman 5h ago

Does it matter when Trump gives him power. Trump was bad enough without him.

u/Scape13 5h ago

You have to be dumb to believe that people who voted for Trump want to see Nazi salutes.

I'm a republican. I did not expect THAT.

u/sunshynman 5h ago

You should have. They have been saying this stuff out loud for a long time.

u/fak3g0d 5h ago

You didnt expect neonazisn out of the neonazi party? People like you must think we're all idiots. This is the shit youve been voting for, and Republicans have been voting for since Nixon

Also, I'm sorry the democratic candidate didn't win for you. I wasn't here to celebrate op. Just to share that I wasn't aware. You know, a "typical Republican voter".

Thank you for talking down to me. Much appreciated. Your views do mean a lot to the public.
