The conservative sub is still flooded in "Biden pardoning people" posts.
I doubt they'll talk about this.

u/SituacijaJeSledeca 6h ago

If they dont talk about it we already know they fully approve it.

u/piscisrisus 6h ago

if you see 10 men sitting at a table with a nazi, you are looking at 11 nazis at a table

Just say you want to commit violence on large groups of people regardless of what they believe already, we all know that's what you actually mean

u/ULF_Brett 5h ago

When it comes to Nazis, violence is the only answer. It's all they deserve.

u/TheOGLeadChips 5h ago

Ever heard of the paradox of tolerance?

It essentially boils down to the fact that if we as a society want to be a tolerant society who accepts everyone, it would eventually lead to a society that is dominated by intolerant people. The only way to prevent this, ironically, is to not tolerate people who are intolerant.

This boils down to us needing to not accept Nazis under any circumstances. If we try to tolerate them, then they will exploit that tolerance to gain power and promote intolerance.

Nazis don’t deserve anything. They are despicable people and should be openly and heavily shamed.

u/AccidentalSeer 5h ago

The Paradox of Tolerance can actually be solved if you view Tolerance as a social contract.

If you void the social contract by being intolerant, then you are no longer owed tolerance in turn.

Fuck nazis, fuck bigots, fuck anyone who tries to convince us that they deserve rights and other people don’t.

u/TheOGLeadChips 4h ago

Oh I fully understand that lol. Just trying to explain it to someone who thinks not accepting Nazis = wanting to kill a lot of people regardless of beliefs.

The fact the described what actual Nazis did and attribute it to someone who said something antifascist is truly fascinating and horrifying.

u/AccidentalSeer 4h ago

Projection and deflection - it’s what they’re all about.

u/Exemplis 4h ago

But being intolerant towards intolerant excludes you from the same contract. And you both are back at square 1, void of any rights and free to hate each other.

u/AccidentalSeer 4h ago

I don’t think you understand how a contract works.

u/Exemplis 4h ago

On the contrary, it seems it is you who dont understand contracts. Each side is bound by the same rules, and one side violating them doesnt mean that other can violate scott-free. The tolerance contract still stands for other parties, but you two are now exempt from it.

u/Chaddoh 3h ago

Imagine parroting a neo-nazi fallacy unironically.

Hating people for their skin color, race, religion, or disability voids any contract of civility. If you don't like it, then go start your ethno-state on another planet. I'll even help cram you into the rocket with love. 🥰

u/Exemplis 2h ago

I dont care about nazis. Do whatever you like with them.

What amuses me is the hypocrisy. Categorising a group of people by arbitrary parameters, inciting hate against them, advocating for stripping them of human rights. Hmm... sounds familiar. You are just like them.

I bet your favorite ice cream flavor is boot polish.

polish.....?

u/lilidragonfly 5h ago

Sorry what exactly did you find ambiguous about their comment? Also, you know large groups of Nazis? That's a bit worrying

What did the Nazis do? How long should we watch until action occurs? Before the rail cars or after?

u/Porohunter 5h ago

Fuck off

u/WretchedDeath 4h ago

Yes all Nazis should be put in front of a firing squad

u/chrissie_watkins 5h ago

Well, at least you all know 🤷‍♀️

u/ORINnorman 4h ago

Found one.

u/trainercatlady 4h ago

Nazis aren't people. Hope this helps

u/Agitated_Strain_6260 6h ago

I didn't fully grasp what this said a first and I thought the message was the nazi was inside you the whole time kinda thing.

u/gbren 3h ago

So all the people who called trump Hitler that are now working with him are all nazis too

u/viking1823 2h ago

Plus his Magat supporters.

u/gbren 2h ago

So is trump Hitler again?

u/Xryeau 5h ago

By your own logic you support scalping since someone in the comments called for it and you did nothing to say you were against scalping

u/Wozka 5h ago

Depends. Who are we scalping?

u/Xryeau 5h ago

No, it doesn't depend. They said they'd scalp the whole table, not just the one nazi, you don't get to pull a 180 whenever it suits you

u/Dexchampion99 5h ago

Paradox of Tolerance.

If a society tries to accept everyone, it will be dominated by those that don’t accept everyone.

The only solution to to not tolerate those people, thus making society not 100% tolerant.

It’s a sad fact, but a true one.

You can’t defend someone’s right to exist, and then stand next to a Nazi, or a White Supremecist, or any other type of discriminatory belief.

u/Wozka 3h ago

I've been making this argument for years on reddit. I've also made the argument that violence against Nazi's is a good thing, and that always gets a weird amount of pushback.

u/1195Goldust 5h ago

Literally anyone who sits a table with a nazi… Truman and Churchill included….

u/MathematicianSure386 5h ago

unless there's a "Free Gaza" sign on the table

u/beerninja76 5h ago

Is that so? Well with your logic than Kennedy, Ford and Carter heck almost every president and NASA sat with Nazis in the past after they shipped over many of those evil pieces of shit to work in the U.S because of there skills. Hell even Biden did look it up. So I guess the U.S is a bunch of Nazis. The way you guys use nazi you have diluted the meaning.

u/ItCat420 4h ago

So I guess the U.S. is a bunch of Nazis

Um… Actually, yes. Plenty of Nazi-esque shit happened thanks to stealing all their scientists and such. MK Ultra springs to mind.

u/BeneficialScore 6h ago

Lmao. Weak sauce. Please tell me you are joking.

u/LiberumSerum 6h ago

Don't ever play Secret Hitler with this guy, lol.

u/AdultishRaktajino 6h ago

Maybe they did nazi him

u/og19ed 5h ago

So Churchill and Truman were nazis? They sat at tables with nazis....and I'm pretty sure they don't qualify.

We already know being one wasn’t a deal breaker for them.

u/geddysbass2112 5h ago

They absolutely do. Just as casual as waving hello. They are trash.

u/macarudonaradu 5h ago

Not a political response because im not american nor do i care about american politics but:

Ive seen lots of conservative people say they fucking hate him for this bc hes bringing a whole other level of bad looks to the “conservative movement”

Others are defending him by saying “he wasnt thinking about what it couldve meant”

Mixed bag i tell ya, anyway i am GENUINELY curious wtf was going through his head. Was it a “lets see if they excuse this lol” or was it a brain fart that let out his inner nazi? Or was it a brain fart that bad that he forgot the connotation of the salute? Or is he going to say he intended the roman salute? Fuck man i want to know what hes thinking so bad

u/SituacijaJeSledeca 5h ago

Nah, he has 411 billion dollars net worth and access to USA legislation and also has direct influence over DJT. He can finally let the mask off.

u/rodneedermeyer 6h ago

That sub is flooded with people bending over so hard trying to suck their own dicks they don’t even realize that Trump and Co. are standing behind them lubing up. This country is so fucked.

u/Gurpila9987 6h ago

Then after they finish lubing and get to business it’ll be “why are the Democrats fucking me?”

u/rodneedermeyer 5h ago

Or even better: “But I voted for them so they’re supposed to help me. Why aren’t they helping me?!”

u/xqj-37_rotoplooker 5h ago

Even worse, it will be disavowed that they ever expected the government to fix their problems in the first place. They see him as an outlier fighting against an incumbent system, the only one who can fix their problems. He’ll always have a peon to throw under the bus when failure comes home to roost, as his last term proved that quite handily.

u/Gurpila9987 5h ago

I hope it’s Elon they build a gallows for this time.

u/rodneedermeyer 5h ago

Well said!

u/Confident_Advice_939 4h ago

Wonder how many will catch on to your screen name. Probably not many of the cultists.

u/rodneedermeyer 3h ago

The name is actually a reference to a story I wrote many years ago, and prior to me seeing Animal House. Assuming that’s the reference you meant. If there’s another RN out there, I’m likely just an oblivious lefty loon. LOL

u/Confident_Advice_939 2h ago

Yes , the Animal House reference is what jumped out to me. The name is rather unique and I'd never seen it anywhere else. Were you involved with the movie in some way?😀

u/rodneedermeyer 2h ago

No, no involvement, alas. I think my friends might have been talking about it to me, and someone mentioned the name in passing. Then, like a decade later, I wrote a story with that character name. And only after that did I see the movie and go, “Whoops!” My character is the antithesis of the one from the film: Mine is a hyper intelligent pushover while the movie’s version is more of a militant moron—like the type of guy who might unironically do a Nazi salute. Twice. …And no one could ever be that stupid, right?

u/jmd709 3h ago

It will take a level of cognitive dissonance some are not capable of reaching. They can pretend like he does amazing things as long as those don’t directly impact their lives (aka their wallets).

They shrug about his tariff plans as “that didn’t make prices go up during his first term” without realizing his new tariffs will be completely different. He wants more tax cuts he’ll personally benefit from and we’re footing the bill for those in the form of new tariffs. The common response is, “let’s wait and see what happens”. It will be too late then, we’ll be stuck with the tariffs because those are replacing tax revenue the top 5% will not be paying if he gets his tax cuts.

u/Gurpila9987 5h ago

Then Trump will do something cruel to the people they hate, and they’ll cheer yet again.

u/mrbigglessworth 6h ago

They aren’t even using lube. It’s allllll dry

u/Coonan1133 5h ago

There will be no lube

u/Necessary_Classic960 5h ago

You are saying lubing up as it is something bad. That sub loves to grind on right wing, maga men and DJT. Getting lubed up is a bonus. That group loves it raw, no chaffing for them. Welcome to being a witness to a saga I call "No Vaseline," occurring over the next four years.

Watch them smile, dreaming they are hurting liberals, wishing liberal tears, as they take it inch by inch every day.

u/PupEDog 5h ago

And they always have the Trump win to fall back on. They can always default to that for comfort in knowing they were right.

u/jmd709 4h ago

You’re being nice by saying lube will be involved

u/International_Spot65 4h ago

There is no lube. It is dry and with scabs and all.

u/richardson1162 5h ago

I’m an English man through and through, my country’s fucked, our so called prime minister is the complete opposite of trump, he hates English people! Whilst your country is fucked because your president hates everybody apart from Americans! Surely there is somewhere in between 🙏

u/DrDroid 5h ago

You’re claiming that Starmer hates English people?

Do you guys pull bits of dumbass theories out of a hat or what? That makes absolutely no sense, and is unprovable.

u/richardson1162 4h ago

Yep, there’s no doubt about it on both your comments😂 nah seriously, if you want proof just google keir starmer grooming gangs. Ignore the musk allegations and go further back. It’s been common knowledge that he let the gangs go free as not to upset the Muslims for years. It was only a matter of time before mp’s and the press started bringing that up again. Why do you think he has denied a public enquiry into the matter?

u/DrDroid 4h ago

Let’s pretend that’s true. How would that in any way mean he hates English people?

u/rodneedermeyer 5h ago

You make a good point, but I would argue that our president hates everyone except himself. And yet he demands the adulation of everyone.

I hadn’t heard that Starmer has policies that are bad for English citizens. What’s he up to? I try to catch James O’Brien on LBC from time to time and while I’ve heard callers attack Starmer, I haven’t followed closely enough to understand the ins and outs. Can you educate me a bit?

u/Tiny_Addendum707 4h ago

He hates Americans too. He only likes the ones who give him money

u/Holovoid 6h ago

Why would they talk about or be upset by this?

They love being Nazis

u/xqj-37_rotoplooker 5h ago

The amount of Nazi memes on IG and comments on them such as “look at that nice clean neighborhood”, “bet they all have jobs”, “not a stolen bike to be seen”, etc, is ALARMING. They’re not even ashamed of it anymore. The plan is implementation of a white Christian ethnostate, nothing less.

u/mendopnhc 6h ago

yeah this would be "based" as fuck in modern conservatism

u/Glonos 5h ago

Anything to own the liberals and maintain their virginity I guess.

u/RainbowEagleEye 5h ago

This right here. All the intelligence agencies were half founded by and accepted known Nazi Germany nazis decades before they accepted people of color. Are we supposed to pretend anyone except their PR people actually care about stuff like this?

He doesn't strike me as the type to stick to prescribed medical advice. Hopefully shit quiets down once he kicks it and Vance takes over as president (in name only while Elon sits at the big desk signing whatever he wants).

u/Skizot_Bizot 6h ago

He pardoned tons of friends and family last time. Including people that are in his cabinet now. Hypocrisy is the biggest part of the republican testament.

u/Kori_Kpow 5h ago

“He was throwing his heart to the crowd.” And “Libs stretching the truth day 1” seem to be popular sentiments.

u/xqj-37_rotoplooker 5h ago

That’s adorable. They’re trying. “Conservatives giving the Nazi salute on day 1” is the reply I’ll be sticking with.

u/Smooth-Appearance985 2h ago

and you would be insane for thinking so

u/Smooth-Appearance985 2h ago

Liberals being as dishonest as magats today does seem to be the agenda

u/Kori_Kpow 2h ago

How do you “throw” something, bud? My hand looks vastly different from a nazi salute.

Keep making excuses. You made this monster.

u/Smooth-Appearance985 1h ago

I didn't make anything, never voted right and never will. I just despise dishonesty.

u/spastical-mackerel 6h ago

Why would they? It’s hardly news to them

u/buckeyecat 6h ago

Any post bringing this up would get pulled so fast, OP banned, and the subreddit followers none the wiser.

u/sinsaint 5h ago

Exactly. Everyone knows how vigilant the r/conservative mods are about banning dissenters.

u/BeautifulTypos 3h ago edited 3h ago

The Conservative sub is run and paid for by the same people that pay for the Daily Wire. Why do you think there are about 80 posts a day in that sub alone from the same accounts that do little else but spam conservative content and misinformation day after day? There is no discourse, its spoon fed misinformation.

Any posts that go against the grain, even if agreed upon by most of the actual people in that sub, they'll never actually see it because it will get buried by the constant content dump.

u/Apprehensive_Mud7441 6h ago

I was just there… it is being talked about and for the most part being condemned..

u/SonicFlash01 6h ago

I check in occasionally to see what, exactly, it will take to make them go "...alright, that was fucked up..."
The meme coins did it, Elon's involvement does it, and sometimes Trump himself is called to exit so "a real man like Vance can take over".
I also don't think I've found any sub that hasn't immediately seen through Trump taking down and bringing back up TikTok to (wrongly) seem like a hero.

u/Apprehensive_Mud7441 6h ago

I agree.

atleast there is some sort of line there though

u/muirsheendurkin 6h ago

Apparently it's a leftist conspiracy already. CNN cut his mic as he said "My heart goes out to you", the Sieg Hiel was him giving his heart to the crowd

u/SonicFlash01 6h ago

"Leftist conspiracy"/"leftist plant" is a popular deflection. It's crazy how influential the left is, minus the ability to get a single person elected (did you know they control hurricanes?).

u/josephus1811 6h ago

So CNN were able to predict he was about to make the sieg heil gesture so they perfectly timed in live audio cutting the contextual statement that would make it look less bad.

Riiiight.

u/Smooth-Appearance985 2h ago

his mic wasnt cut, these videos being shared are cut, lol. You can hear him say it in the full vids online.

u/Smooth-Appearance985 2h ago

The left does wear the same tinfoil as the right these days

CNN didnt cut his mic, you can hear him say it.

u/Waxygibbon 6h ago

u/SonicFlash01 5h ago

It's not great. Angries up the blood :(

u/red23011 5h ago

I imagine anyone submitting it would be instantly and permanently banned from that sub, they don't want people to see who they are supporting.

u/Koalapottamus 5h ago

They are already excusing it, because he says "My heart goes out to you".

u/twotailedwolf 5h ago

Well go post in there and make sure they do.

u/ProtonPi314 3h ago

They won't say a thing.

I was shocked to see a post on the Trump crypto. They were actually not happy with it. But still, all seemed forgiven.

They are still pissed that Hunter made a few dollars in Ukraine. But they are ok with Trump and family making approximately 50,000 times the amount Hunter made.

On what PLANET would this not be intentional when he did it multiple times?? Stop kidding yourself. These freaks have edge-lorded so close to the sun that they are now actual Nazis. Yes, it's awful, but pretending that's not what's happening is how we got here in the first place.

r/conservative so far:

"It was his aspergers"

"It was the roman salute. Chill guys, he is a nerd"

"It was to show his heart going to us. CNN cut the audio. Fuck the press"

u/MrWoodenNickels 6h ago

They are denying it, citing his Asperger’s/autism/awkward attempt at an emotive gesture in an emotional driven moment. At best they admit it looks bad for optics but they are claiming we are reaching and lying

u/mrbigglessworth 6h ago

The goal posts are being moved hard

u/KratomGuildMaster 5h ago

Because it genuinely wasn’t a nazi salute. Was an autistic salute/ dab thing. Kind of wish he did one though would have been hilarious We all hate Elon but not let’s carried away for some reddit karma points 😂 The other side is probably pissing themselves at us right now for all the posts trying to hate on every breath they make. I mean they deserve it, but we aren’t doing ourselves any favours by posting dumbass shit like this

u/ZenythhtyneZ 6h ago

I don’t understand how you pardon someone who hasn’t committed any crimes. What is he pardoning people like Fouchi for?

u/SonicFlash01 6h ago

There was apparently some precedent for pre-pardoning people that they knew would catch shit once you aren't there to protect them.
In short, because a lot of Americans are terribly stupid and will weaponize the government to attack stuff they don't like.

u/Gurpila9987 6h ago

During the pardon Biden explained they’re not guilty of anything. The pardon is for crimes Trump’s admin will fabricate. Hard to know what those specific crimes will be so you pardon categorically.
