My mom (devoted Trump follower) tried to say that he was just waving to the crowd. What will it take for these morons to believe that this is a Nazi salute?

I think most of them know what he is doing and are covering for him. They don't argue in good faith.

Wow... When a Nazi finds something too Nazi, you know that something is pretty damn Nazi...

Naaah, reckon he left because of 'opticts'. Sure he got a bit excited, though

[–] [email protected] 5 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

"optics"?? He's complaining cause he didn't see it well enough?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 14 hours ago

The French are, understandibly, less willing to overlook Nazism than anglophones.

Then again, no one should be overlooking Nazism.

Which salute.....there have been three.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

It is odd that it wasn't the first one that stopped them.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 17 hours ago

He just wanted to see "fewer".

[–] [email protected] 9 points 18 hours ago

The Nazi salute referenced in the article.

They were fine with Musk's first two.

They didn't like when Bannon did it tho, which is when this statement was made.

Then there's already been a third person doing it.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 15 hours ago

Just saw after posting, still had it up (out of order, also m/dd/yy):

“Elon Musk, Trump inaugural event, 1/20/25.

Steve Bannon, CPAC, 2/20/25.

Mexican actor Eduardo Verastegui, CPAC, 2/21/25.”

Thanks for pointing out the names, too!

Sad times, these
