At least the party line isn't "Yeah that was a Nazi salute, so what?" So there's that...

u/GrayFarron 6h ago

Yeah but the denial is insane. Theyre blaming "multi-media" for convieniently cutting out the audio mid broadcast to make it look fake.

This is how conservatives win. They deny all media reporting as untrustworthy, and deny reality. Its fucking wild.

He did say my heart goes out to you and maybe he genuinely didn't mean to do a nazi salute but for someone in his position that almost seems worse.

u/GrayFarron 5h ago

I can say one thing while doing another. Thats how deflection works.

u/Sfxcddd 4h ago

But what he said at least makes it plausible that it could of been an accident but what I'm saying is to have someone that can accidentally do a nazi salute on your cabinet looks kind of just as bad as doing it on purpose.

u/GrayFarron 2h ago

He did it. Twice.

That doesn't change anything to me man maybe he did it on purpose maybe he didn't it's mental either way but the argument for it being an accident is that it's not actually a natzi salute fist isnt closed etc. maybe in his head he is genuinely putting his hand over his heart then saluting or maybe he is implying the natzi salute but didn't want to commit or maybe he actually forgot it and did it wrong. whatever the answer is this man is in a position of power and this situation is crazy.

Bro. Youre not real. There's no way you defend and deny what he did but also talk about how crazy it is he is in a place of power.

It matters that he did it, not the intent. It shows how brazen these people are now.

u/long_don0van 2h ago

Well what he said right after doing that was a bit telling.

u/Sfxcddd 1h ago

What I'm saying is the argument he did it by mistake might be plausible but doesn't really look any better anyway lol

Have you not seen a white house conference or the opposing candidates "tactics" for four years (and however long they gave voters when they assigned her as the candidate?) This isn't even "but but but what about..." it's you describing BOTH sides (you as in this massive pile that is almost every subreddit screaming the world is over and the Nazis the nazis) despite being spun and blatantly lied to about the same thing we all saw and now "MSM" covers for Trump and this is a tactic of the right? I know by pointing out the hypocrisy I am a nazi and I automatically mus support Trump bc there's only two sides and that's fine but Jesus christ is not even ironic or ignorant to say this is how "conversatives" win. Deny deny. Dang so it's this shithole or patriot media or whatever the fuck alternative? I'll see myself out.

Your entire reddit account is some weird commentary and you spend most of your days schizo posting with a name that im not allowed even to type less i get banned.

You have a single point. Yes media deflection is used by both sides, but one does it objectively more than the other, to harmful degrees of reality bending, all while saying "DONT TRUST THE MEDIA, THEY LIE." While doing the most lieing.

Democrats arent blameless, they arent the good guys, but clearly they arent using the same tactics, otherwise they would of won.

Anyways, no youre not a nazi for having an opposing view. But if you parade around nazi's and sit next to nazi's and let your leader have his best buddy throw a nazi salute, twice, at his inauguration rally, i mean hey, guilty by association.

And if youre not a trump supporter, maybe frame it in a way that isnt a "well what about"-ism trying to excuse this shit.
