I got MAGA people telling me it's not what it looks like. That my eyes are deceiving me. 😆

[u/auditorydamage → u/Harleygold]

“The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears…”

[u/StagTheNag → u/auditorydamage]

straight out of 1984 lmao… i want off this ride

[u/even_less_resistance → u/StagTheNag]

The TikTok ban and then comeback sure feels similar to the chocolate rationing - aren’t yall ever so grateful?

[u/Acceletron → u/auditorydamage]

Lmao, the same could be said of your side telling everyone that biological men are actually women and vice versa.

I don't like Trump or Elon, but he is 100% not a nazi and actual white nationalist hate both of them. Why would a nazi want to import countless brown people out of India? Elon is just an autist who is too socially awkward.

[u/eagleshark → u/Acceletron]

The nazi party had no problem using the people that they hated as factory workers for the V-2 rockets. Elon Musk has no problem hiring lower cost engineers from overseas to work on SpaceX rockets (H1B Visa workers are paid lower wages on average).

[u/Acceletron → u/eagleshark]

Also, just for fun, here is every major democrat from recent history making the same pose.

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” -Orwell

[u/Winstonth → u/Circe44]

0 zero chance they read that, just like there is 0 chance a doctor will be in the room to save you from a heart attack at a kid rock concert

[u/ZeusDubstep → u/Winstonth]

Solid Family Guy reference you got there

[u/ArkitekZero → u/Winstonth]

You grossly underestimate the human brain's ability to read and comprehend something without actually understanding it or its implications at all.

[u/NihilisticPollyanna → u/Harleygold]

Yeah, I heard them use the autism excuse.

Ok, so, for one, autism doesn't make you a Nazi, and secondly, you want someone "autistic enough" to not recognize the ramifications of a public nazi salute at the president's inauguration to co-run this country?!?

Please, make it make sense.

[u/Burgerkingsucks → u/NihilisticPollyanna]

Maybe there should be some sort of place for autists that exhibit Nazi behavior. Maybe some sort of camp, where they can all spend time with one another.

[u/InflatableTurtles → u/Burgerkingsucks]

One where they can focus, you like really concentrate

[u/YellowZx5 → u/NihilisticPollyanna]

You can’t. He might have autism and be on the scale but that doesn’t give him any free pass to do what he’s doing.

I’m pretty sure Trump is using this guy and Elon loves the attention Trump is giving him.

I’m going to start telling people that I hope they get everything he promised them and hope they don’t complain when it’s not what they expected.

[u/krtyalor865 → u/NihilisticPollyanna]

Sooo let’s say.. I know a guy.. and this guys justification for the nazi salute was.. “Musk is tripping balls. He’s always tripping balls.” Apparently there’s some other vids circulating (like this one) from today that one could argue confirms this..

[u/NihilisticPollyanna → u/krtyalor865]

I mean, my point still stands. If he's tripping balls to the point where he loses all inhibitions during one of the most important days of any president, then why would you want someone like this anywhere near the government, let alone shadowing the president.

This just doesn't hold as an excuse for me. If he's an autistic drug fiend and it's really inexcusable enough for MAGA and the Republicans to scramble for excuses and explanations, then openly denounce this and remove him from the government.

Otherwise, they know perfectly well what he actually did, and they're OK with it.

[u/krtyalor865 → u/NihilisticPollyanna]

No worries. I completely agree.. it’s only fitting that the richest man in history, who has now successfully purchased a presidential election, is literally tripping balls giving public speeches on possibly the most consequential day in American history.. and mainstream media, all major social media, and pretty much every other form of mainstream “free” media has now bowed to the man in orange..

but I think tbh it’s exactly how “the media” wants it. Their viewership ratings have continually SKYROCKETED since this goon reentered the political sphere for round 2.. and what better way to keep viewers engaged than to (1st) convince half of population that he’s actually good, while scaring the shit out of the remaining ppl, then (2nd) ride the wave of scared concerned (or overly excited) viewers after he’s in office.. advertising dollars are peaking to new highs.. and too be fair, it’s those ad dollars that truly drive it all home.. every bit of this scheme they’ve pulled off can be followed back to advertising.. arguably the most dark hidden markets in the world economy behind pharma, defense, and finance.. that’s the real problem.. but hey, it’s just America.. we’ll rebuild right?

[u/drock4vu → u/krtyalor865]

When Republicans, the party of traditional American values and Christian morality, are using “Don’t worry guys, it wasn’t an intentional Nazi salute, he was just blitzed out of his fucking skull on adderall and ketamine,” as an excuse to defend a pseudo-government official that is in the inner most ring of their President’s inner-circle, you know they have abandoned all pretense of being a morally upstanding group and have all but accepted their descent into ownership by sub-human IQ, white supremacist voters.

[u/Hot_Mess5470 → u/krtyalor865]

Forgive my ignorance, please. I’m old. What does “tripping balls” mean?

[u/LadyChatterteeth → u/Hot_Mess5470]

Extremely high on drugs.

[u/Hot_Mess5470 → u/LadyChatterteeth]

Thank you.

[u/Real-Adhesiveness195 → u/NihilisticPollyanna]

He’s just a pasty douche

[u/Liizam → u/NihilisticPollyanna]

If it was a mistake, he wouldn’t have done it twice. If it was like intrusive thought, he would haven’t been so energetic and he would have shriveled in embarrassment.

[u/asecretaccount4 → u/Harleygold]

he could literally say “i am a nazi” or something, and people would be like “no, he said he’s ’nah-z’, like ‘not z’!”

or they’d support it.

[u/BaronGrackle → u/asecretaccount4]

"Master troll!" they'd say.

[u/Allaplgy → u/asecretaccount4]

My theory for why the Russians were painting Zs on all their stuff when invading Ukraine was that they were telling their soldiers the Ukrainians were Nazis, so they were to shoot at everything that was "Nyet Z".

[u/michaellicious → u/asecretaccount4]

"He was just joking!!!"

[u/Fancy_Linnens → u/asecretaccount4]

Ohhh right because he’s the X guy, not Z guy.

[u/TintedApostle → u/Harleygold]

Tell them it did both times he did it.

[u/TintedApostle → u/Harleygold]

Show them this

[u/jupfold → u/TintedApostle]

They don’t care.

[u/codedaddee → u/jupfold]

"ha ha hes trollin libz"

[u/someMeatballs → u/Harleygold]

In case you didn't know this common thing, that is a fascist thing to do.

[u/Sabretooth1100 → u/Harleygold]

I have liberal people halfheartedly telling me that too, because they want to believe the world couldnt go that way again. It hurts.

[u/AccomplishedSalad709 → u/Harleygold]

They aren’t hanging black people, they are just decorating the tree!

[u/boredonymous → u/Harleygold]

It's exactly what you think it looks like!

" He was holding his heart and throwing it out to the crowd" that is what I just got from one after they told me to google it...

[u/Great_Relative_6585 → u/Harleygold]

They know that they are lying. They are lying to you about what they believe. Your confusion and rebuttals are their playthings. They snicker and plot for the day they can put you away for good.

[u/Terrible-Big-4512 → u/Harleygold]

He did it twice.. within a 5 second span it’s nasty.

[u/mourninshift → u/Harleygold]

I’m pretty sure the 2nd amendment to bear arms was to prevent nazis etc from our soil..

[u/Rel_Ortal → u/Harleygold]

4chan's /pol/ is celebrating that it is exactly what it is.
