    What exactly is the “context” for doing a full-on nazi salute? Other than to show everyone that you’re a nazi?

      It’s right out of Trump’s playbook. You do something outrageous and evil, with just a smidgen of deniability… it gets them attention. That’s what they crave, to lead the news cycle, to be hated by the left but maintain enough deniability that the center and right will still be on your side. This is Trump 101.

        That is the fascist playbook. Testing the water to see what you can get away with now while normalising new levels of evil.

      Heat of the moment, not everyone you don’t like is a Nazi

      At least those are the excuses I’ve seen

      He said the magic words “my heart to you” clearly clarifies that his salute was meant to be that, duh /s

        You mean well before what he actually said during the sieg heils

        “It is thanks to you, that the future of civilization is assured.”

        =

        Elon Musk inner thoughts: I should Nazi salute. Do it. Do it you pussy. Think of the news it’ll generate. Think of all the votes, oh god I’ll make all the democrats cry that I’m a nazi when I’m not even a nazi! Fuck, lets do it!

        nazi salute

        Oh god that was awkward as fuck. Okay, let’s do it twice, then make sure they know I’m serious and it wasn’t just some weird fucked up tic I do.

        SIEG HEILS even harder

        MMHPPHPHPHHHHHHHH SUCK IT AOC.
