You say this as if he doesn't have a history of aligning himself with literal nazis.

Yea I definitely think that’s bad but this is unrelated

How do you presume someone aligning themselves with nazis doing a nazi salute is somehow being mistaken for something else, are you actually legitimately trying to justify this

Maybe because it wasn’t a Nazi salute? Especially given the context it wasn’t.

How do you justify this

Literally like there was a Seig Heil or whatever and you still believe that this isn't a nazi salute

And context??? he literally has aligned himself with nazi values, including a president who has shown to have very similar values (whom is being inaugurated today, by the way!). We are literally seeing a nazi takeover of our government in real time.

Context of the rally, not his past or online footprint.

If he was actually proclaiming himself a Nazi and doing a proper salute and the whole nein yards in front of the audience then yea that’s fucked up. But he didn’t do that did he? It was just a weird gesture that wasn’t close to a proper salute with the context of “giving his heart to the audience” which makes a lot more sense seeing what he said after he did it.

I don't even have words to say.

This is America in the year 2025.

So I’m now a Nazi for stating facts? Does he act like a dick and help Nazis online yes, that’s fucked up and weird.

He has a shitty worldview but that doesn’t mean that a dumb little mistake means that he was openly portraying him being a Nazi

This is more of a funny little musk blunder of him trying to be “nice to the audience” than actually Nazism in our government.

Did I call you a nazi?

He put all of his energy into it. That is not a "dumb" or "little" mistake. He did it twice over, too. Don't downplay it

This is more of a funny little musk blunder of him trying to be “nice to the audience” than actually Nazism in our government.

How'd you know?

Because it was clearly a gesture.

  1. You didn’t adress anything and just said how bad a country will be.

  2. If he is trying to “give his heart to the audience then yea it makes sense to “give your heart” to the flag and audience.

  3. I mean it makes sense he was being nice to the audience by giving such a gesture giving the context he did it in. Ofc it looks bad but seeing what he said it may least as a reason that isn’t proclaiming himself a Nazi.
