The crowd recognized it, responded by cheering, and he acknowledged that in return. It isn't some sneaky thing a few elites are caught up in, dogwhistling to the fringes. It is the base of their movement. Because they're Nazis. Sincere, unambiguous fans of Hitler and everything that goes with that.

But even if it wasn’t nazism, doing inflammatory things to get off on peoples reactions is pathologically anti social behavior. I dunno if it’s sadism, psychopathy, narcissism, but it’s not normal.
