Steve Bannon makes ~~gesture~~ ~~resembling~~ Nazi salute at conservative conference

"Resembling"... Right.

It's tiring this tiptoeing around the facts. Especially from a Jewish journal.

Not sure if you've noticed, but for whatever reason all of the big well-known American Jewish media and advocacy groups have started backing the Fascist Nazis for whatever reason. The damned Anti Defamation League was downplaying Elongated Muskrat's siege heil!

I can only assume it's because they're aligned with the genocide of Palestinians at the moment, and don't think that's going to come back and bite them in the ass in the future for whatever idiotic reason.

Jews for Hitler thought they would be protected if they aligned with the nazis... they fucked around and found out.

he did a nazi salute/heiled. use the words, you fucking cowards

[–] exploitedamerican@lemm.ee 44 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Elon’s was a blatant all out fascist salute. This cunt did a half assed one because hey too much of a little bitch to put his contemptible fascist ideology all out on display. but that will likely change soon. This country needs a revolution asap.

He squared up beforehand, making it clear what he was doing.

I mean, Bannon was never really trying to hide it.

Dog whistling with a fucking foghorn and conservatives probably still defending it

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 day ago

This time they can't say it's a "my heart goes out to you" gesture, because Bannon has no heart.

They're trying to co-opt the Nazi salute... Maybe they'll call it the Republican salute or the Freedom Wave or something even stupider. Can't wait to find out 🥴
