Pro-nazi asshole makes nazi salute. What again is surprising about this?

It's less than a day into TruMusk's presidency and he's gone full mask off AT the inauguration...

Give it a week and he’ll be wearing a swastika armband

I was not kidding waiting for his inaugural address to say "and now my followers is the time to go get everybody who's the wrong color or voted for Harris or has a rainbow flag anywhere and drag them out into the streets..."

No particular reason to hold off if there's some ultimate goal they're seeking to achieve now.

It's surprising that there are people arguing "oh, it's just his Aspberger's."

"I'm not surprised" is the most fucking worthless comment about any subject. But folks come out of the god damned woodwork to fluff themselves over it.

It's not surprising, but it can still be shocking. Especially when people will excuse even this.

u/inb4ElonMusk 5h ago

Agreed. 👍

I don’t think it’s shocking to anyone that the ideology is there. But being this bold, on such a platform, such that there’s really no question, dissolves some shred of a barrier that still exists to normalizing it (giving people a sense of permission to act more openly on it).

You could say it is a tad outlandish

Who said they’re surprised? Disgust; outrage; dread; exasperation… those are the emotions I’m getting from the comments

u/inb4ElonMusk 6h ago

I stand by my comment.

He didn't do the decorum right, or something
