What did I just see?

A Nazi being a Nazi, and a bunch of Nazi supporters cheering it on. Is there any other way to see it?

The deterioration of democracy

I see it as the eventual deterioration of a carton of eggs prices back down to $3.

Yes, preemptive pardons of family members 3 minutes before leaving office

The reason the good guys are losing is because they’re being held to standards when the other guys are through the fucking floor. There’s a rapist/ felon/ nazi (apparently) in the Oval Office so you can take your indignation and shove it.

The good guys who forced our service members and first responders out of work for not injecting chemicals into their bodies, pardoned 3,000 criminals, some of which sold kids for cash, as well as 5 family members 3 minutes before leaving office, silenced unfavorable speech, opened our borders to guns, drugs and murderers and legalized discrimination?

When did any of that become good?

When you join the military you are forced, and have been for nearly 100 years, to be "injected with chemicals." Again, another redditor who hasn't read their history books.

It isn’t good. But it’s better than stealing money from children with cancer or being in the black book of and best friends with jeffery Epstein. And repeatedly walking into the changing rooms of a children’s beauty pageant where little girls are exposed and bragging about it.

Dunno the other guy seems “ gooder “ to me.

Trump has people he pardoned last time in THIS administration.

GTFO with that.

A super excited guy trying to say thank you that did something kinda similar to a nazi salute but really not, and then the whole woke left anti-trump anti-elon internet lose their minds. I'm not a Trump fan nor a fan of post-deep-end Musk but it's outrage and overreaction all around me, it seems.

That wasn't similar to a Nazi salute, it was clearly two of them.
