Calling it now - Trump will make the same gesture in 2025. And he will get away with it. It will go something like this - “These people are crazy! If I raise my arm like this (does the salute) they say I’m a Nazi! Can you believe that?”

Not “appeared” - he did it 🙄

I don't know what country I'm living in any longer. Where is law enforcement? Why isn't this obvious sign of hate being shut down immediately? SMDH

"Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses"

...and judging by the treatment whistleblowers receive, within police departments, it's a hell of a lot more than "some"

The cops are in the audience

andrea-littlefield.bsky.social•1 day ago

You're right of course. But I guess I'm still of the belief that this is illegal.

waywardaf.bsky.social•1 day ago

In certain countries, it is, but in America it's covered under "freedum"

andrea-littlefield.bsky.social•1 day ago

Last I heard, it was a piece of hate speech.

waywardaf.bsky.social•1 day ago

Oh I agree, but this country doesn't care about that.

Bannon has and will always be a part of the trumper crowd, salute or no salute. He is a white nationalist POS.

Those right wing sources being like "Oh fuck... Not again..."

guillaume7273.bsky.social•1 day ago

They made 14 articles and told 88 times on a propaganda tool that making a n salute to a far right audience after blaming a jew to go after money and power is not fascist. Can you please stop enoncing facts and just repeat their narrative?

go4bigfuzz.bsky.social•1 day ago

...huh?

guillaume7273.bsky.social•1 day ago

Joking

Musk seems (and is) dangerous and unhinged, but then I watched the NYT interview with Bannon and the Breitbart comment sections and realize Bannon is just as unhinged and scary in his own way.

go4bigfuzz.bsky.social•1 day ago

I'm going to be entirely candid here, and please don't take it personally because I know you're not alone: Dude is a literal white supremacist and exposed himself as such during Trump's first term. I find it unsettling that people are just coming to this realization.

xyroryx.bsky.social•1 day ago

So much so that he hates Musk & wants him deported on the same "remove all foreigners" rhetoric.

This doesn't excuse him from anything. I say this to point out this dude is seriously fucking unhinged & absolutely an example of The Shittiest Kind Of Person™️.

When his comrades are in back in charge and rapidly disassembling the government, it makes it harder to ignore.

brokenfoot.bsky.social•1 day ago

Oh, yeah. He's not trying to get rid of Musk. He's actually a fan.

grimlordxvii.bsky.social•1 day ago

I'm not going to tell people to perform illegal and violent acts. They should be able to work that out on their own.

The right is not blind to this.

What a coincidence 🙄
And now he calls Muskrat a parasitic illegal immigrant 🤣
At least they both have the salute down.

moray76.bsky.social•1 day ago

Most people wouldn't do anything that even remotely resembles a Nazi salute. But after the Elon dust up over such a gesture, I think Bannon is just messing with libs here.

damagedaddy.bsky.social•1 day ago

It's never "just joking" - it's just testing to see how much they can get away with, and then they push further next time.

Learn.

waywardaf.bsky.social•1 day ago

Lmao. So Nazi sympathizer then

narwhalinthesky.bsky.social•1 day ago

“Appeared” uh not sure you need to hedge there

moonglow111.bsky.social•1 day ago

Ok this is a stretch
I don’t like him but to me it just looks like he motioned outward with us arm
