    Do I think he did an actual salute? Honestly, I just think he got excited and tried to improvise some kind of “thank you” gesture. I’m going to forget about this in a week anyway.

    Do I think he’s a nazi? Yeah.

    Plus, the wealth he hoards can solve some societal problems forever. That’s more than enough for him to qualify as an evil bastard.

    He’s going to gut all the government agencies investigating his shitty business practices.

    That whole cabinet is going to fuck absolutely everything up astronomically.

        Alright, man. I won’t die on this hill. He did a nazi salute.

        Now can we fucking move on? Israel launched an attack on the West Bank, and this stupid shit is dominating the news cycle.

          Yeah I think that this is pretty relevant if:
          The President of the country that provides most of the support and bombs for that’s Lead Advisor/Broligarch4Life is jumping around doing Nazi salutes at his celebration of power event. Right?

          Kinda implies how far we are gonna get elsewhere with them.

            It’s not that relevant if, prior to the man performing multiple nazi salutes, we already knew he was a full blown fascist.

              You’d think that this would be something that clearly, unambiguously and without any trace of plausible deniability proves that. But no, they STILL try to wiggle out of it. That’s why it’s relevant.

              And he even has the audacity to say afterwards that the “everyone is Nazi” accusation is getting old. This whole situation is bizarre.

            His boosting of Nick Fuentes and other Neonazis on his platform, holocaust denial, and stupid “dark maga” hat he wore when endorsing Trump had zero plausible deniability, so that was enough for me. I guess I jumped the gun.

            The stuff he actually said during the speech, didn’t kinda imply where we’re going. It was pretty blatant.

            Safe cities = more militarisation of the police, police brutality, wider mass surveillance

            Secure borders = enforcing imaginary lines to do more police brutality and setting up concentration camps

            Sensible spending = de-funding social programs that actually address the root cause of "unsafe’ cities

            Going to Mars = It’s not going to be you nor I setting foot on the red planet. We’re going to be stuck here paying a monthly subscription for breathable air.

            Instead of being concerned about that, perhaps let’s discuss how the X logo resembles a swastika or how his side-combed haircut is very nazi-youth-group-esque.

        It’s so ridiculous that experts have to even weigh in on this issue. Its clear as fucking day, he gave the Nazi salute, TWICE. On national television, at a rally on the inauguration day of the current american president. This whole situation is completely insane.
