Jesus Christ - I’ve filtered for all Elon and Trump news and this manages to skip the filter.

Real funny how r/elonmusk official stance is that it was not a nazi salute. And yet the entire place is on complete lockdown. its as if someone just threw 3 sig heils while the cheers got louder only during the gesture.
Am I the only person who thinks that this image should be made into a meme?
Like, keep posting it relentlessly and force the right-wingers to keep constantly seeing it?

The truth is all his supporters know exactly what it was and support him 100%
Pretending it was an accident and everybody is actually against it is part of the fun for them.
I can see how it was mistaken as an accident. Americans often put hand on heart and snap it to 45 degrees angle as an expression of thank you. Very common gesture, very easy to do it accidentally at a political event. 3 times in a row. While someone in the crowd yells "sieg heil!"
Yeah, like I’m a white man too, see? Now I can’t cover my heart when I pray to the flag, and I can’t wave hello and goodbye to my oodles of real life friends? So much for FrEeDoM oF sPeEcH!!

The link between zionism and nazism is strong.
"Strong" as in a very brief period in the 1930s the Nazis worked with Zionists to get Jews into Palestine.
I think you would have a very difficult time making the case that they have had a strong link ever since or consistently for any period in history including right now.

So this is how I'm gonna get radicalized huh
My car depreciated 50% in one day.... Or maybe it appreciated? That's depressing.
Remember when everyone hated on regular Russian citizens for not forming a rebellious revolution against Putin and assassinating him in his sleep? For not shooting every Russian oligarch and everyone who rubber stamped the invasion of Ukraine? Remember when people called them cowards and “as good as nazis” for being complacent and not getting up and doing something about it?
Where are you keyboard warriors now that the USA needs you?
Just sayin’

I'm not American, so I'm just now catching up with what happened over there yesterday. The first time I saw this image (elsewhere), I was praying that this was AI-generated. And I hate seeing AI-generated stuff and I'm not religious either. I still wish it was AI but now I know it's not and... jesus christ.
Here's a video: https://youtu.be/joV-9FFoA3Q
It's definitely real.
I know. I've seen the context. I was just saying that I was hoping it was AI just because the alternative is so messed up.

In the meantime while everyone is looking at Elon Donald is signing executive orders to
- Grant top secret security clearances to White House staff without going through traditional vetting procedures.
- Open the Alaska wilderness to more oil and gas drilling.
- Eliminate environmental justice programs across the government, which are aimed at protecting poor communities from excess pollution.
- Move to end birthright citizenship, which is guaranteed by the 14th Amendment, for the children of undocumented immigrants.
- Declare migrant crossings along the U.S.-Mexico border to be a national emergency
- Remove protections for transgender people in federal prisons.
- Ensure that states carrying out the death penalty have a “sufficient supply” of lethal injection drugs.

Just want to point out, executive orders are the easy part. All you need is control of the executive branch for that, and even then federal judges can block any orders they deem illegal (which will ultimately filter it's way up to the Supreme Court) the real hard part is repealing acts of congress and even harder will be issuing new laws. That requires both the House and Senate to align their priorities and goals and agree on the specific legislation. This was an insurmountable challenge for the Republican party back in 2016-18 to the point where they were largely unable to pass any meaningful legislation
Remember the whole "repeal and replace Obamacare" thing?
