Reposted from Joshua Reed Eakle 🗽

Steve Bannon, after calling for Trump to be President for life, did a Nazi salute on stage at CPAC.

Nazism has officially taken over the GOP.

The few remaining conservatives have a choice: either leave the party and obstruct it—or choose to be complicit.

Intersectional fascism.

Fascism has always been big tent

They are more than happy to get the power and sort out which ones of them really deserve it later

Or he's shining a light on Elon's gesture because Elon is trying to hide his fascist leanings and Bannon isn't. He knows that Elon will suffer more if they both get Nazi accusations

Bannon is not that subtle. He’s jealous of the attention Musk got so he’s doing the same thing.

areidross.bsky.social•1 day ago

he's also simply trying to normalize it among his followers... slow, creeping, weird, and eventually "normal." he simply doesn't want musk to (1) "get all the credit" or (2) make it into a weird deniable fluke.

deny, do again, and maybe eventually u don't have to deny it.

Have you read about Bannon and traditionalism? It’s crazy stuff.

areidross.bsky.social•1 day ago

yeah, it's bad

I mean, the OG salute throwers famously had a bloody purge where one half got rid of the other half

hollyphantpants.bsky.social•1 day ago

And yet we still didn’t run out of Nazis

thalantos.bsky.social•1 day ago

Alas

areidross.bsky.social•1 day ago

that's why I said yesterday, i'm lookin at musk long knifing Trump by the end of the year lol

History doesn't repeat but it does rhyme.

If things go anywhere close to the OG timeline this will definitely happen.

As a German, that's truly horrible.

Does it really matter? The fascists are here.

I personally encourage them Al to jump on the bandwagon and out themselves. They’re currently flying high like the wasted guy making an ass out of himself at a party where everyone is disgusted and leaves because of them- the hangover is going to be IMMENSE

I agree. Way too many people are saying we’re doomed and they fail to see that we are seeing all of this in real time.

And it only motivates to fight harder. Which we will.

Why is anyone still listening to this Melvin-Belli-melting-alien-in-Star-Trek-face dude. He should go back to join the rest if his parasites clinging to the underside of the dumpster.
