I just searched "nazi salute" on r/conservative... and its just such insane denialism...

Like, what if musk just do the "Heil H**ler" too?

I wonder what excuses they'll make then?

🤔

Fake News?

Deepfake?

🤣

r/conservative should be renamed to r/neonazi

Probably just say he was joking.

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 46 points 4 months ago

Well, after they wash the jizz out of their pants, they'll probably try to gaslight us into thinking it was just a joke and he was doing a parody and we're just too dumb and librul to understand.

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 32 points 4 months ago

“A masterclass in owning the woke snowflakes”, or something like that

[–] zakobjoa@lemmy.world 31 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Wooooooow, how ableist of you. Don't you know he has autism and ADHD? He obviously didn't know what he was doing.

[–] HerrBeter@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

If you're on ketamine you can't be hold accountable for your actions taps head

[–] crusa187@lemmy.ml 29 points 4 months ago

“He was just joking bro, don’t be such a snowflake.”

"Clearly a joke"

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 21 points 4 months ago (1 children)

it was an awkward verbal tic

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago (2 children)

He's autistic, let's be a little more respectful of people with mental illness?

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 3 points 4 months ago

Already prep response:

So we agreed he has no place running anything?

"Oh no, he was just saying 'hail hit her.' Because one of his ex-wives got hit by frozen rain that one time."

Or some ridiculous mental gymnastics horse shit like that.

[–] p03locke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 4 months ago (1 children)

People forget that how we got "Let's go, Brandon."

I’d guess they would start saying Hitler was a really good guy.

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 13 points 4 months ago

More likely would be "heil Trump". Validating Trump as Fuhrer of America. Conservatives might be ok with this. Watch for congress to burn, and blame on DNC, that results in banning the party.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 12 points 4 months ago

"No, you misheard. He said 'Kyle Kitler.' What? No. I have no idea who that is either."

[–] notsoshaihulud@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago

They’d suddenly become autism experts

[–] blackstampede@sh.itjust.works 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

"The left just looove to call people racists and Nazis, and he gave them exactly what they were asking for and now they're losing their minds. He's the world's biggest troll! I think it was hilarious, honestly - sure, he probably shouldn't have done it, yeah, it wasn't pc, but you call people Nazis long enough, what do you expect. Everyones a Nazi, everyone's racist, meanwhile you've got liberals voting for people who sleep their way into positions of power and politicians who want to bus in votes from Mexico. It's all bullshit smoke and mirrors. Politicians are all dirty. I like Trump because he doesn't care what the mainstream thinks- he'll burn it all down if he needs to to drain the swamp, and he's doing it while thumbing his nose at the political establishment with statements like this."

[–] MothmanDelorian@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago

“OMG HE SAID IT!!!!” and various posts celebrating it. Go look on 4chan’s random board and Im sure you’ll get a preview

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

Reach into their bottomless bag of excuses.

They're not big on accountability or accepting loss. Or educating themselves.

[–] tenchiken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 4 months ago

More likely at this point, he'd do "Heil Musk!"

Trump is just a tool. In so many definitions.

[–] dnick@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 months ago

He's doing it ironically to own the libs and mock them for thinking he was a Nazi.

The playbook isn't all that deep.

[–] nthavoc@lemmy.today 7 points 4 months ago

"He made an awkward statement / expression" Would be the statement posted to win the platinum medal in mental gymnastics. Just exceeding gold medals at this point.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 6 points 4 months ago

Jizz their pants, presumably.

[–] Shawdow194@fedia.io 6 points 4 months ago

They would just say Elon was saying like "my heart goes out to you" or something

Oh wait...

[–] TORFdot0@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

How has /r/kanye been taking the “I love Hitler tweet?” Probably similar to that

[–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 6 points 4 months ago

r/conservative should be renamed to r/neonazi

Nah, The Neonazis like what he did and are open about it.

Its more like r/Neonazis_in_denial

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Like, what if musk just do the “Heil H**ler” too?

They would congratulate on his language skills.

[–] Zier@fedia.io 5 points 4 months ago

They will all put on their 'I luv hitler' tshirts and join in. It's the GOP duh!!!

[–] magic_lobster_party@fedia.io 5 points 4 months ago

They will just deny it ever happening and say it’s taken out of context. He can’t possibly be a Nazi because he likes Israel. And if it happened (which it did not), it’s not important. Libs are so easily triggered these days.

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 4 points 4 months ago

He would yell heil füer and claim he's talking about Trump, not Hitler

[–] Jaderick@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

It’s just bots at this point. They ban anyone with a brain. Got banned from there like 8 years ago for posting a tweet by Trump that criticized his actions during his first term. Banned within 2 min.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

"Well, he did give us the Volkswagen."

[–] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

They’d do the same. Fucking worthless traitor cunts.

[–] Feelfold@lemm.ee 3 points 4 months ago

Exhale a collective sigh of relief, and say "Finally a US President who gets us."

[–] Zero22xx@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 4 months ago

I don't know about the conservatives but the press and 'centrists' will probably go "Hmmm maybe it's just autism. Surely he didn't really mean it. No, can't be. I can't think of any past behaviour of his that would make this seem intentional. Autistic people do nazi salutes and say heil hitler all the time."
