At the end of his CPAC speech, Steve Bannon exclaimed “Fight! Fight! Fight!”, raised his arm in a brief Nazi salute gesture, brought his arm down, nodded his head at the crowd, and then said, “Amen!”

Have you seen pictures of how the French treated Nazi collaborators after WW2? A little public humiliation would be nice just before the legal consequences begin
It’s actully cowardly when you think about it. He still couldn’t do the exact hand gesture musk did and hold it and do it again. He knows wtf it was and is still scared of the ramifications of it. If he wasn’t he and others online would do it EXACTLY like musk and not quickly remove their hands.
Bannon will hog tie him with extra shirts he wears. Bum fights was reprehensible but I’d be down for billionaire fights. Just paper cut battles from all their money.
@stuartpstevens.bsky.social accurately frames the legacy of today’s GOP as “the betrayal of the Greatest Generation's sacrifice.” It burns me w/ rage that my grandfather & his contemporaries gave their lives to defeat fascism only for an entitled & self-centered generation to embrace fascism
Looks like a drunk that dunked his head in cold water,slicked it back and put on the same wrinkled clothes he wears all the time.
Also,
How is he not a Seditionist? He is whipping the crowd up saying Trump 2028. The Constitution is quite clear about that.
Understand: Bannon is a 1 trick pony: victimhood. And he’s an attention whore. His half-hearted Nazi salute was intended to be a way to get viral attention as he battles the pre-eminent attention whore, Musk. But Bannon cant pull it off because he wasn’t raised as a Nazi. Musk was.
How are you going to do a Nazi salute and then immediately shift your eyes around and lick your lips! Shockingly little physical conviction from a competitor we'd all come to expect more from.
Yes, they are all Nazis. Unsure how this works for the wealthy donors who are Jewish. 🤷🏻♀️
But “fight, fight, fight” gives me pause. I’m not one for conspiracy theories, but to use the attempted “assassination” image for profit & repeating “fight” make me wonder-if it’s all a part of the reality show.
We need to have our eyes wide open now. And our mouths. Not gaping with horror, but with loud, constant rejection of this filth. I know some of you feel like giving up or looking away, but if we stick together, we WILL win. Those who fought against this shit in history will not have done so in vain.
And yet he's calling Musk a threat to our nation. Is that because Musk has more influence over Trump than Bannon now? Is he a little jellers? These idiots are just overgrown, whiney ass 1st graders (sorry, 1st graders).
It’s a hateful expression. Anyone doing this doesn’t understand history nor cares to. The Nazi regime committed war crimes in the most heinous display of lost humanity the world has seen. Adopting this symbol of hate is a tragedy.
We should know all too well of the evils of racism...we should not understand one another in order to hurt each other but understand each other in order to help one another if anything or at least to leave each other alone...
There are many studies one can do in the name of unity by understanding each other in order to help one another even better. It will be amazing for the day that racism to go away for good.
Called it when Musk did it and he was warmly applauded and celebrated by the Republicans surrounding him and none of them called him out. THIS IS WHO THEY ARE.
Agree. But the "base" and we resisters have something Russians and Chinese citizens do not have: MORE GUNS THAN PEOPLE. The Second Amendment they love sooooo much.
People who made their entire identity about how often they think about the Roman empire like 5 minutes ago sure don't seem to know that much about the Romans
I'm honestly so annoyed with all the excuses and gaslighting that's an insult to my intelligence. It was a Nazi salute through and through, just like Elon's.
Can’t be out done by Musk. See where we can drive a wedge in MAGA? Let the Musk vs Bannon brawl begin. We should all be gas a keep tweeting at Steve, “Elon did it first.”
If you’re not aware, that was football player Chris Kluwe ( @chriswarcraft.bsky.social ) noted more recently for standing up for the rights of disadvantaged people and being against fascists.
Would have been if FBI hadn't made issue of emails in news again and then Sormy Daniel's payout. His criminal trial didn't connect dots well enough for most people.
It’s not just the one high guy. It’s the other guy who hates the high guy. It’s ALL the guys. This is real. This is their thing, and they don’t have to hide it or pretend to be anything else any more.
I suppose that’s part of my pessimism…we’ve had plenty of time to start. By the time we figure out how to mobilize & get the sleepwalkers to wake up, I’m afraid it will be too little too late. I 100% hope I’m wrong. I’m praying for the true American spirit of freedom to spark & spread like wildfire.
And the political experts said the Democratic Party should stop calling Trump a fascist because it wasn’t moving voters. It was, only it was Republican voters, they liked it.
...”Alt text, or alternative text, is a description of an image that appears when an image doesn't load. It's a way to make images accessible to people who are visually impaired. “..
It is Elon Musk looking absolutely manic, and yielding a huge chainsaw that has this etched on the blade: Viva la libertad, carajo!, sometimes shortened to "¡VLLC!", is the catchphrase of Javier Milei, president of Argentina since 2023.
Where are all the people that were so angry over the Gaza protests on college campuses? Why isn’t AIPAC angry? The Republican party is normalizing Nazis, and there is absolutely not enough outrage.
I don’t think he believes in anything — he’s just a nihilist willing to align himself with any political philosophy or group that will enable him to advance his goal of burning down the ‘establishment’ and emerging from the ashes as a power broker.
WHY IS THIS OK?
Nazis are evil, immoral killers. There is no excuse for this and I don't understand why there isn't more pushback from the GOP. Is blackface going to make a comeback too? How about Jim Crow?
Listen to those cheers. I can’t believe we have Nazi America in 2025. My grandparents were children in Poland during WW2 and I don’t have the words to express my disgust
Now that there aren't any WWII vets left, these nutjobs feel free to act out in the open with little resistance. Because they've destroyed public education via "vouchers" there aren't enough who know what happened to care.
In Norway, the war generation called their children (the boomers) for the dessert generation. They ate it all and left us with crumbs and shiny plastic thingies
People that cheered when he did the NAZI salute are NOT Patriots they are Traitors to this country. Many of our Parents, Grandparents,Great-Grandparents died fighting against this hate,they have NO respect for their sacrifices.They disgrace our country, expose them for all to see who they truly are.
And just the other day lots of you were saying can't believe I agree with Bannon. Fck him. He and muskymusk are probably good ketamine budies. And stop calling it a Roman salute. It's a nazi salut

hard to say if it was intentional.

Truss is now irrelevant, but Farage is the leader of a UK party that is constantly being boosted by appearances on the BBC and other media.
Wake up, Britain!
But he’s still a fascist and a Nazi
Tell me me who your friends are...

how sick does he look? he does not look well
#DeathEaters
Should’ve been in prison a long time ago
And that man NEVER loses, lol.
Mark my words, he’s the folk hero we need.
Why isn’t ADL on Bluesky …hmmmm

They are just a tool of AIPAC.
I'll keep adding them as they perform the Nazi salute in public as a loyalty test to Elon Musk.
In power! First they came for……..
Some fight... LOL
I'm so glad he's not alive to see what's happening. It's breaking my heart.
Ok.
Deep sigh.
We have a lot to do.
I feel sorry for kids. Growing up with all this shit going on. They're so screwed.
And therefore, the generation they generate will be worse.
It's no wonder fewer people wants kids.
truly, truly SICK
is the MSM going to continue with their 'unusual' gesture descriptions?!?!?!?!? 🤬
Bannon does a Nazi salute.
Applause erupts. Not so cute.
First Elon, now Sloppy Steve.
Extremism is what they believe.
Maybe we should start again...
So…from your lips, my friend…
And if I feel confident placing my trust anywhere, it’s with Kendrick Lamar.
That man is fundamentally incapable of losing.
They're doing a fascist takeover of the state, it's not weird small hand gestures that matter at this point
Is this the person with access to the entire sensitive information? The one who causes planes to fall out of the sky?
This looks like a psychological breakdown.
This isn’t a reality show, it is our life.

Rikers Island ain't no Danbury, Connecticut.
You want your apocalypse they promised and you want that now.
You want your next drama because without a God, aliens and drama life is dull.
Aliens aren’t there, God isn’t there, so you call the apocalypse on all of us.
Damn you, America! Damn you!
Nazis are evil, immoral killers. There is no excuse for this and I don't understand why there isn't more pushback from the GOP. Is blackface going to make a comeback too? How about Jim Crow?
I'm glad he's not here to see this happening again.
They really were the greatest generation and I worry that we have slid far downhill.
We’re fresh meat for fascism.
