And it most definitely was a Nazi solute.

elizabethjacobs.bsky.social•43 days ago

Por supuesto, and good to see you here, friend.

jwflowersii.bsky.social•43 days ago

Same. Had to get off of those other platforms.

Probably because you’re not a damned Nazi.

He is showing who he is. Who they all are.

💯

Same. And if I ever did any gesture that someone might think was that or anything inappropriate, I would be mortified.

elizabethjacobs.bsky.social•43 days ago

To be clear, I’ve never given an intentional Nazi salute, either, in any situation.

I wouldn’t even know how to do it, nor ever learn.

They’re using the well-worn neoNazi and fellow travelers’ trick of accusing of “playing the ‘Nazi card’”, or “using the Nazi club” in German (the “waiving the bloody shirt” for Nazism). I say spread the term. It’s accurate and fun and comes with this as an explainer.

A few years after my wife died I got into public speaking.

The first workshop I ever did I almost pissed myself.

The 1st keynote I did I almost shit myself. 4 real.

Somehow tho . . . . I never did a nazi salute. Interesting 🧐

elizabethjacobs.bsky.social•43 days ago

Right? How can that be? Oh, right. Because we’re not Nazis.

Someone mentioned the Pepe frog avi he was using a while back. Anyone see that?

elizabethjacobs.bsky.social•43 days ago

Yes

Once, I wanted to know if it made me feel powerful. I walked off my back deck and far into the woods, stood tall with my chest out, stretched out my arm and before I could say "Heil Hitler" a bird shit on me, a squirrel stole my nuts, and a racoon robbed me of my wallet at knife point. 🤣🐦💩🐿️🦝

I mean, you're not a Nazi and only Nazi's give Nazi salutes, so ...
