Here's the thing - he's holding it longer. Musk and Bannon kinda flashed it. This is arguably more overt.

Fuckers.

Another Nazi salute.
Once again, the time has come to punch the Nazis.

Are the MAGA ready to be Nazis now?

Nazi salutes by deplorables ...

bluefrommagioh.bsky.social•13 hours ago

this would seem to be just the new bro greeting.

Kind of on message for CPAC. It's been the biggest collection of Nazis in the world since 1945.

Why don't they just tattoo swastikas on their foreheads? Jeebus Crisp on a cocktail napkin...

raflw.bsky.social•13 hours ago

It's not clever. It's not coy.

It's f--ing Nazis.

If you had any doubt people that attend CPAC are Sick In The Head! ✝️🙏

Been calling it out for years / decades!

Historian Joseph Fronczak argues that a distinctive feature of the political culture of fascism in the 1930s was how it was organized around symbolic objects and gestures that invited ordinary citizens into a trans-national politics of "participatory antidemocracy" fitted to each nation.

Emilio Gentile is good on this ‐ the aesthetization of politics, political religion, etc.

sethcotlar.bsky.social•13 hours ago

You can read an interview with the author about that 2018 article here. The studied and intentional ambiguity around the symbol (is it *really* a Nazi salute if they deny that it is?) is the point. They both mean and don't mean it, but the audience gets it. https://www.processhistory.org/fronczak-fascism/

Fascistic movements in democratic societies always have to tread carefully as they try to build power via persuasion (which they have to do up until they just take full political and military power). Saying out loud "we want to jail or just kill our internal enemies" obviously breaks the rules.

sethcotlar.bsky.social•13 hours ago

And so the violent rhetoric is always leavened by a "joking, not joking" wink...when Trump said "you've got to fight like hell" on J6 he was being metaphorical! But when your opponent uses a similar metaphor, then they get a threatening letter from your DOJ. https://robertgarcia.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-robert-garcia-statement-threats-department-justice-over-criticism

When a Presidential candidate beloved by fascists in 2016 says that "2nd amendment people" might have to "do something" if Hilary Clinton got elected and everyone in the audience knew what he meant, he was able to wiggle out by saying he's just a 2nd Amendment fan. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/trump-campaign-defends-2nd-amendment-comment-n626601

rebcoco.bsky.social•12 hours ago

And of course trump is well versed in this barely coded language, because it’s also the language of mobsters. “Did you take our friend in south Jersey for a little walk?”

sethcotlar.bsky.social•13 hours ago

Had Trump in 2016 directly said "someone will need to shoot Hilary Clinton," then that would have been too much for the people who mattered to him--the mainstream press and more normie voters who weren't down for explicit political violence, but who would tolerate joking/not joking ambiguity.

The phrase “they both mean and don’t mean it” really captures it for me. I’d been trying to put it into words, but that’s it.

I guess after fleeing to Argentina after WWII some families would make their way north to Cuidad Mante by the 1970's

What a Nazi turd from El Salvador

scopedogg.bsky.social•13 hours ago

This is on the pussy media for not calling it what it clearly is in the first place

jensand.bsky.social•11 hours ago

The more this movement swells, the more dangerous it will become. It's time to nip this in the bud. Take it from an old gardener....once a weed starts to grow choke it out by the roots! 🚨

kapwen.bsky.social•13 hours ago

None of this is trolling and should not be shrugged off as such.

He's a Mexican soap opera actor, and presidential candidate loser.
He produced Sound of Freedom. The guy the movie is about, was accused of violent SA. Also:

catpushmike.bsky.social•13 hours ago

Looking forward to the Sunday shows’ centrist pundits scolding us for calling them Nazis.

katecunning.bsky.social•13 hours ago

These Latino men are deluded if they think that Trump & his racist mob will ever accept them as equals. Machismo is poison to women & society.

jpure.bsky.social•11 hours ago

56% of them voted for this shitty guy.

A Nazi salute. No one wants that.

olivesided.bsky.social•12 hours ago

They're all fucking Nazis now.

rauchway.bsky.social•13 hours ago

They’re competing to do it ever more brazenly, aren’t they.

dr0923.bsky.social•13 hours ago

They love to do this shit and then hide behind their bodyguards and armored vehicles. They can’t hide forever.

Thumb extended, elbow lowered, wave-like form, arm not as stiff, pulled it back as if he'd touched a hot stove.

Not one of these cowardly trolls can bring themselves to do it the way Musk did.

electromotive645.bsky.social•9 hours ago

Are we developing a grading scale for Nazi salutes here?

rob-montague.bsky.social•3 hours ago

Just what Mexico needs. Home grown Nazis! ¡Qué montón de mierda! ¡Qué vergüenza! A sad reminder, too, that sometimes what’s fair is foul. Pretty Nazis are just as evil as the ugly ones!
