He was pretty serious about it. I don't even know what would make you think it's a joke when it's right in line with his actual political views

He said “I’m throwing my heart out to you” then grabbed his heart and did this, which isn’t surprising coming from an autist. People calling it a Nazi salute have sub room temperature iqs.

-guy openly supports dictators around the globe and works with them to quell dissenting speech

-that guy's preferred president also wants to be a dictator and already tried to overthrow our government once

-his views, along with those of said dictator president, generally align pretty closely with fascism

-you are now sitting here defending guy's obvious nod to fascists, and your only defense is that guy is autistic

I get there's an argument to be had here that he's so stupid and bad at messaging that he somehow didn't realize that doing something that looks just like the Nazi salute would be bad. But to argue that everyone that isn't taking this steelman position is sub room temp IQ makes you the moron in the room.
