Why isn't there this outage with Israel committing genocide against Gaza?
Oh no maybe Elon did a salute, this is way worse than women and children dying day after day.
You guys are nuts.

Why you ask? Oh, you didn’t see? Trump stopped all of that! There is not now, nor will ever be- a single death in Gaza/Palestine for the rest of time because of the amazingly powerful, yet benevolent magic of Fueher Trump!
All peace and prosperity has been restored, and that wretched Biden and his hive of villainy had nothing at all to do with it provided you don’t spend 15 seconds to look into it.
(Obligatory /s for the…. uninitiated)

Do you honestly expect people not to pick up on your bad-faith whataboutism here?
Oh and here I foolishly thought he was a nazi because of his actions and rhetoric. Silly me!
He couldn’t resist biting his lip and looking ridiculous. The very first public Nazi salute by the actual president will go down in the history books with that idiotic look on his face.
Be grim and serious. You’re a fucking Nazi. Act like one.
I think I just learned the difference between neo-Nazis and Original Nazis.
Original Nazis are grim and serious. Neo-Nazis are "just joking."
"It's a prank, bro, it's just a prank!"
"A prank? You invaded Belgium!"
It’s because they are cowards
Reactionaries use meme culture not just because they’re terminally online but also because it makes their behavior seem either benign or just confusing to outsiders. They find it hilarious that they can be really explicit and still fly under the radar. The Alt-Right did this with Pepe the Frog, the OK sign, even the milk glass emoji for a hot minute. The more inexplicable the meme, the better. You get the point where Stephen Miller is flashing Nazi signs from the White House and the [Trump] Presidential re-eletion campaign is releasing 88 ads of exactly 14 words and there’s still a debate about whether the administration is racist. Because journalists aren’t going to get their heads around that. You tell them “1488 is a Nazi number,” it’s gonna seem a lot more plausible that you’re making shit up.
I think this is super important that you figured that out. It's how they get people to go along if they're hesitant.
no it's ok though. The ADL said it wasn't a nazi salute.
Even "calling a taxi" and "calling a waiter" would be pretty sus if you put your hand over your heart first and then rapidly raise your hand. Even more so if you do it twice in quick succession after you gave a fascist speech.
Yeah, I think the subtle differences in calling a taxi are more noticeable in motion. I would say it's the same height as the Nazi salute, but easily distinguishable by the motion. Usually you've got one finger pointing, and/or you're doing a waving motion with your hand. As you said, you are not making the movement of a salute gesture.
Wdym? I typically smack a tit (mine) before calling a waiter over. Perhaps it’s a regional thing?
Elon doesn't realize that on Night of the Long Knives 2, he's probably going to be one of the first to go.
Can't wait to see AI really shine when they use it to edit him out of all of these photographs.
Is that the reason, his uniform in the meme is brown instead of black?
The Marco Rubio got me.
is he like really short or what is the joke exactly?
He's a small person, regardless of his height. I think he's short too.
I think DeSantis is shorter.
Conservatives and lifts name a better combo
Every trump supporter is a nazi. fuck em all
Using that word a bit liberally
I think you’re still in the denial stage

I don't think my girlfriend's dad is a nazi, I think he's gullible and confused.
If your girlfriend's dad is sitting at a table with 10 Nazis, then you have a table of 11 Nazis.
Trust me, I get it. I've been grappling with the fact that my parents are fucking fascists.
I’ve been struggling with the cognitive dissonance that all of my family are veterans and most are somehow conservative thanks to religion. Wearing the uniform and voting for these traitorous shitbags is still baffling to me.
That shit will never add up to me. It's bad enough to see the switch from, "support our troops!" fervor directly to Trump's, "I don't like soldiers who get caught," and the various other outright scandalous things he's explicitly said about the military and individuals who have served... I can't even imagine that happening in a military family.
Just shows how insane this is. It's like a fucking social contagion.
Not every German Nazi wanted to murder Jews or participated in atrocities. Plenty of Nazis were just "good Germans" who voted for them and lived day to day.
Don't make excuses for Nazis.
People treat him like he's gullible and confused, and he knows that excuse will work, and let him support Nazis with a clear conscience.

This made me chuckle, thank you for the levity in a weird place in my life.
Off topic, but:
Just curious, what was the angle of attack of the Will Smith slap?
🤔
