Starts with “no, it wasn’t EXACTLY the same salute because his wrist angle is 0.0001 degrees different”
Then “no, he was just being sarcastic, no one can just be ironic anymore”
Then “okay but it’s not that bad, he’s not literally putting people in concentration camps”
Then “okay but it wasn’t my fault, I’m a good person”
“I just can’t believe the face-eating leopards who constantly made face-eating gestures and promised to eat faces on day one would eat my face!”
Even if we give them literally all of benefit of doubt and assume it really was Bellamy salute, it don’t make it any better, it’s still salute of genocidal empire. And i don’t have any benefit to give, Bellamy salute is old rubbish nerd trivia from century ago, here and now Musk gesture have only one meaning.
you are forgetting that Elon is a dumbass and it is probable that he really did a nazi salute by accident
Sadly, anyone who would vote for him is incapable of this level of self reflection.
What they’re incapable of is recognizing that ‘the badies’ (Nazis) is something they should avoid.
The problem isn’t that they don’t know they’re evil, it’s that they fucking love it.
No Trump voter is casual unless they literally closed their eyes and scribbled randomly on the ballot
Of course there are. My neighbor is one. A simple minded idiot, conned by the lies and the cult of personality. But, if you talked to him, you’d never think for a second that he’d vote for Trump.
Their eyes are still closed. Unless you walk up to that neighbor in the next day or so and show him the clip, he won’t see it or believe it.
Hell, it’s already too late and your neighbor is probably already making excuses about how Elon Musk is just sharing his hearts energy or some shit.
It was a roman salute
Yeah okay
Look, the shitty excuses already began.
In 2008 Polish court really acquitted three members of ONR, most prominent Polish neonazi organisation on exactly this excuse.
Then what? I must know more about OP’s neighbor!
Absolutely nothing changes. The “closed eyes” people are just as bad as the actual fascists, because they’re enablers.
Yes
Zero fucking patience for liberals calling trump supporters nazis.
Then why did they vote for someone promising to do Nazi policies?
You literally voted for someone committing a genocide. What fucking nazi policies are you referring to??
Maybe don’t do Nazi salutes then. Zero empathy for you and your Nazi friends.
Why are you drawing the line on the symbolic representations of nazism when you’re complicit in a genocide?
The hand gesture isn’t the problem with nazis. The thing you did is.
Are you fucking deluded or something?? YOU COMMITTED A GENOCIDE. So you got your fucking magnifying glass and slide rule out and managed to find a way to rhetorically say trump is still bad? No one’s arguing he isn’t bad you cynical piece of shit.
YOU COMMITTED A GENOCIDE
You just spent all of your political capital supporting a genocide. You aren’t better than them. You are objectively worse.
Cowards downvoting without speaking. Do I detect shame? Or am I giving you too much credit?

I have a feeling that if you watch the actual video of those events, you’ll find some differences in the movement of their arms.

She’s clearly gesturing the idea of ‘looking ahead’ and ‘out there’. She had been doing so for a while, but the screen grab only grabs the one gesture where her hand happens to be flat.
Elon’s was clearly a salute, particularly since what he said his action was as he was doing it is the definition of a salute.
I want to thank you for making it happen
*salutes*
My heart goes out to you

Damn. You’re a special kind of stupid huh

Elon literally does the hand on heart thing before the salute wtf are you on right now
What do you imagine his intent could have been when twice performing a gesture that the majority of people will identify as a Nazi salute, other than him performing a Nazi salute?
Lay off the copium, you’ve had enough
Democrats don’t care. They’d rather live in a fake reality. Joe Biden helped fund a literal genocide but they didn’t care about that one bit. They like to believe everyone else is stupid & they are incredibly smart, and to blame everyone but themselves for losing.
What is your point exactly? Trump says Biden didnt help Israel commit enough genocide and wasn’t supporting US allies enough lmao. It’s literally what lost him the election because democrats cared to show dems they won’t put up for it, lesser evil blabla
Trump is also about to start another genocide in Ukraine to help is buddies Putin and Kim. When your quality of life drastically changes, I’m sure it’s going to Biden and Obamas fault still while Trump swallows taxpayer money in his pockets and sells national secrets
Trump is also about to start another genocide in Ukraine
(X) Doubt
RemindMe! 6 months
Yeah want to be reminded dude said “new healthcare coming in 2 weeks” for 4 years while tearing through the system making money? Nahh, i bet in 6 months you won’t want to talk about Ukraine either.
Let’s not forget he already tried to fuck Ukraine in his last presidency, AND said he would have ended the war in Ukraine already by just not funding Ukraine and letting Russia win. You might want to set a reminder for 6 months he’s a Russian puppet who has already been caught leaking national secrets, and made himself king to avoid the consequences.
That’s not even the right syntax for the Reddit bot 😆
Genocide ? Oh you mean NATO-imperialism Oh riiiight
I guess Democrats should have picked a candidate that had the moral high ground then. Nothing you said matters when Biden helped fund mass murder & Kamala Cheney couldn’t think of anything she’d do differently, other than putting Republicans in her cabinet
So you agree then.
“When Biden helped fund a mass murder”.
Tell me you don’t know what a president does without telling me you don’t know what a president does.
The president doesn’t allocate the funds. Americans love genocide (and the industrial military complex) so congress spent the money. Israel is an ally of the United States, not of Biden, and Israel has Trumps full support (especially if they rent empty rooms in his hotel). I guess you don’t want to talk about the last time Trump left military allies to die in because Putin asked him.
Israel wasn’t an ally of, “I’m a proud Zionist,” Biden? You do realize that Biden administration continually vetoed resolutions in favor of Israel… that Anthony Blinken ignored even the US’s own advisors saying that there was a humanitarian crisis? You do realize Biden can veto bills as well? That Biden could have put pressure on Israel & not publicly claim unconditional support of Israel?
Democrat here and guess who I blame? THE PEOPLE WHO VOTED FOR HIM. And sure enough, they do sure damn well seem dumber than a box of rocks.
I guess Democrats are doomed for eternity then if you want to blame a majority of voters, rather than figure out why Democrats lost so many votes.
If I push a dog out of a moving car, who’s responsible for the dog falling? Probably me since I pushed the dog.
Since Trump won the popular vote (this time), whose fault is it that he’s now president?
I didn’t vote for him so I’m confused as to how it’s my fault.
Did you vote for the the genocide supporter Kamala Cheney?
Of course they, they deserve to lose with this kind of attitude
