It's because they're everywhere. Most people will see them & know you're not trustworthy, but you'll still be pretending they don't exist.
Pro-genocide establishment Democrats... "They're the Nazis! Get cancer if you don't agree!!!!"
You totally owned me. Oh you got me so good, I'll never recover. You can go tell your teenage friends that you owned timewarp on Lemmy. You'll be so popular & you'll get all the sex.
Are you on meth or something, lol? You're unintelligible
They're claiming there's videos of democrats doing the nazi salute everywhere. And they claim that I am not to be trusted because I've not seen any
It's because there aren't any. All the stupid responses are photos which can easily be taken out of context. Just a frame out of a video can be sufficient to achieve the look.
But what he did left zero room for misinterpretation. There's no need to isolate the movement--it's right there plain as day. He did it twice last to make sure everyone saw it. We will not find any Dems doing that because it would be political suicide to do so.
Anyone trying to claim that was anything but a seig heil is full of shit
I've seen stills of Democrats waving to the crowd. In every one that I've seen they were exonerated by the context. The context of Elon Musk's salute - in addition to his open flirtation with out and proud Neo-Nazis on Twitter - only makes it more damning. There is absolutely no way you can interpret it as a mistake.
