Nazi Salute?

I'd be willing to bet I could find a troll post on social media for the majority of congressmen and senators who have a prominent social media presence. TI is the closest thing to social media I do, so I freely admit I can not site multiple examples of the cuff so to speak. I am pretty sure I have seen post on here linking such from at least AOC an pelosi at some point, though.
For the record, I would not have done it. I think it is in bad taste. Also for the record, I don't think he would have done it if trump and anyone who supports him were not constantly referred to as far right nazis/racists/white supremacists'/etc.
You’re actually worse than that. It’s hard to comprehend how stupid you crazies are. TDS is a real mental disorder. You need help bad.
The dude literally started this thread by asking a question about why Elon would do this, then the mob descended and contorted the thread into an attack on him personally and suddenly he's a lunatic with TDS. Are we sure who qualifies as a crazy in this thread?
Yeah I haven't even mentioned Trump once- I've been pretty even handed about all of this lol
“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
Yeah, yall tried that shit with covid. We will no longer reject what we see. We are onto the media's lying ways.
Did you see the reports on the Democratic party approval rating? Can't imagine why they are so low.
I see you are another crazy. Anyone with any common sense and watched the full context wouldn’t ask such a dumbass question. Go dye your hair blue and stfu
I didn't ask the question so that makes you a potato. Go put on your red hat, camo gear and bear spray and go sToP tHe sTeAl.... then stfu.
This is objectively very funny. Way too much REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE (*gasp*) REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE going on.
In those videos, did they hit their chests then go straight out, or did they just happen to have their arms out at an angle? Were any of them called on it, and then didn't simply say "oh, f*ck no, definitely not a Nazi salute, I would never intentionally do that" afterwards?Believe the science.
Worst comeback ever from mamas basement. 😂😂
Sigh. Did he beat his chest then immediately stick his arm out like that, in perfect “form” mimicry of the Nazi salute? Or just snapped a still of him with his left arm out?
It has always mattered with me. My biggest issue with Elon isn’t that it happened (tho I lean towards him knowing what he was doing, and it being to troll), it was that it is super easy to immediately respond that it wasn’t intentional and you don’t believe in what the Nazi’s represented. One sentence on the social media platform you own.
Cause once you respond to their absolutely ridiculous accusations then you have to answer them all. Just don’t acknowledge them.
No one, no honest person thought he did a nazi salute. The only people buying that are the low informed gullible. Sorry if you are in that group.
His ex-best friend and business partner Philip Low thinks it was a nazi salute, so did the AfD.
@UrHuckleberry I DON'T KNOW YOU PERSONALLY BUT JUST A SUGGESTION
I am 73 YO and have seen all the lies deception misinformation telling one side of the story fabrications etc.
I had a father-in-law businessman who once told me don't trust anyone until they prove to you, you can trust them
Second was assume everyone is lying and figure out the truth
or conversely
Assume everyone is telling the truth and figure out who is lying
Worked great for me over 73 years
I don't say it out loud I just go over the stories in my head and make a decision
There are people on here and all over the world who fabricate a narrative that they want you to believe
Always ask what's in it for them to yourself
And most of all require people like me earn your trust and respect
No one gets a pass
Sure. I always try to do two things. 1. Ask myself how I would feel if the other side did "insert just about anything here"? and 2. How would I react if this happen to me?
I try really hard when on this forum to take people at their word, discuss the actual issues or point, and to try to see the merits in the other sides position, even if I disagree with it. I also try to point out when something I disagree with is done by both sides, not just the "other".
But the one thing that likely bothers me most in this newer age of politics post Trump, is not ever admitting a mistake. Bothers me on here, bothers me in politics, bothers me at work, bothers me everywhere. We are all human and all make honest mistakes. And Trump just seems to have made it an Art of the Deal thing or something where he never admits a mistake, no matter how innocent, and now I feel like I see it more and more from MAGA. Certainly not only MAGA ftr. But saying you were wrong when its an innocent mistake, or admitting you see the other sides point on something but still disagree overall is not a weakness. And I HATE that it has seemingly been made to be one.
I think that knife cuts both ways. Where are all the people saying that Russia Gate was a mistake? That the impeachment hoaxes against Trump were a mistake? That arresting a political opponents was a mistake? That governement requests to silence speech was an outright violation of the constitution?
If you are observing honestly, which you claim to be doing, you would recognize that democrats do the exact.same.thing.
It's my personal opinion, that Russia Gate is where it really went off the tracks.
That's when the American people knew you were lying to us and not admitting it. Social media came onto the scene and information was able to spread too fast for the traditional propaganda to work. Technology outpaced the deep state and they got caught.

It cutting both ways is my point.
Those are cases where I use my process. If Biden had called Putin and said "I need you to announce a public investigation into Trump or I'm going to raise the sanctions" I would have a HUGE issue with that. I really don't get it. You would too. That is a really big deal to me, and would be regardless of party. I don't think the President should use their office for the express purpose of political gain (huge note that almost everything politicians do is for some political reason, so not including standard optics, etc).
On Russia, when I reverse, and Biden officials have some side meetings with Chinese officials, undisclosed lobbying with China, etc, I would absolutely want the FBI to start investigating that, making sure they are on calls with Chinese officials they can legally track, etc. For all the conservatives talk about the Biden family, I hope that there are investigations into it, making sure they are legal, etc. I don't know why everyone wouldn't want that. Obviously "Russia Gate" as you like to call it became a lot bigger because it became public. And I agreed with charging the lawyer that doctored an email to advance a warrant.
While I do think that Trump did the crime in the NY Case, that is one where I would've preferred it be dropped. The documents case I would absolutely want Biden charged if he didn't return requested documents, told people to move documents when investigators quietly came to get them, had top secret documents shown to people without authorization, etc. I wouldn't want Biden charged if he just had them and returned when requested as the amount of documents they likely have, whats considered yours or there's is a lot, and those docs are everywhere. That Trump ever had them never bothered me. That they were hidden, people were directed to lie/move things/etc absolutely was the issue to me.

Will add, there are times where I do this on things Trump does and catch myself being frustrated because he is a horrible communicator and I bring my inherent bias to hearing him. Helps me see his actions more honestly too and be frustrated with less.
Yeah, they know what they're doing.
Now, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and say they are just trolling with it.
But I loathe trolling from public officials (either party), so that has its own issue.
