Yeah, that’s an outright nazi salute, at a presidential inauguration .

It's always good to be wary of photos showing Nazi salutes because it may have been bad timing. But that is a genuine Nazi salute. This stuff is going to be normalised in Trumps USA.

Carn he literally gives context to it after "my heart goes out to you"

Poor usage of the gesture for sure

Carn, he is thanking the MAGA base who elected Trump.

The gesture was bold and deliberate. He knows what it means and how it will be seen by those he is talking to.

The only slip was to do it so openly on the world stage. But rest assured he has been told to apologise and will claim he is being misinterpreted it was not intended to be a Nazi salute.

The whole "nazi" thing is so played out . People are not falling for that stuff anymore.

Except for the people who hate Trump. You cannot seriously believe all 60 million people who voted for him are Nazis.

It's the same thing with red team believing they are fighting literal demons...it's delusional.

When you have one side believing they are fighting the 4th Reich and one side believing they are fighting literal demons....its not healthy for anyone who participates in the game.

I don't think poster actually understands what Nazism Fascism actually is, beyond the antisemitic tropes.

The comment that the 'the whole Nazi thing has been played out' is proof of that as is the idea that 'people aren't falling for that anymore'. Laughable in its ignorance of what has been happening in global identity and populist politics in recent years.

And then the 'Blue vs Red' binary BS comes in.

Meanwhile, on the eve of the worst wildfire crisis in US history, Trump has taken action on pulling out of climate change protocols.

Anyone who supports Trump I guess supports this yeah?

The state of humans is hilarious, free lunches from Dutton next.. what an inept species at dealing with real problems.

......poor clowns who voted for him, did they really think he's going to help them?

You are correct i know there are people who fit the descriptions on both sides, every team has their fringe. What % of people of the Trump supporter base do you believe are actually "Nazis"


I'm going to guess less than 1%. What do you think?

What a pointless question.

So that's why i asked the question, what % do you believe are actually nazis?

I didn't want to put words in your mouth

To label a group Nazis it must be fairly substantial % yeah?

I'd say anyone who identifies or acts as a nazi is one too many.

I think you're trying to get me to commit to this % idea as a way to dismiss the idea of Nazis in the US as a serious problem. Go be the ostrich.

I'm trying to get you to convince myself maybe I'm wrong and that nazis are now ruling the US.

I'm very comfortable to be wrong.

Yes as it is I dismiss the idea nazis are now ruling the US...

But I could be wrong and I am looking to see what your conclusions are

No said Nazis are ruling the US, but they do have more influence now than ever before.
