Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
That's all the rules!

There is video. He did it more than once. Either it's so ingrained his muscle memory that he just moves like a Nazi salute, or he did it with intentionality. Both say he's a Nazi
It was obviously a Nazi salute. You can't make this shit up twice...
He gave it the old Laura Ingraham
I could see how Laura could claim hers was unintentional. This one I think is a little more difficult to pretend away.
And even she didn't do it twice.
Looked to forced and awkward to be muscle memory. Looks more like a 14 y/o boy who knows he’s doing something he shouldn’t but he wants to look cool n badass in front of his friends.
Source: I knew a few kids who did just that.
Twice in less than 6 seconds. Like, I really wanted to believe it wasn’t that clear.
It’s so fucking clear.
It’s the same shit they always do where it’s obvious what it is but they just make it just different enough that they can claim it’s a misunderstanding while dogwhistling to their Nazi supporters.
I don't think he'll convince many of us who are not already Nazis that this was misunderstood. What the fuck else could it be? And this is a guy who has become more and more explicitly and proudly Nazi in the months leading up to the election. This is him celebrating the Nazi win.
