Just so we're clear on what they are saluting, take a look. And there are much worse photos on the web. Please don't look away or dismiss this as just politics. It is evil. There is no other word for it.
That filthy pig Bannon has been trying to compete with Musk for dRumpf's undying devotion but he can't win because he doesn't have any money to pay for that devotion. So if you can beat 'em, join 'em! Just for the record, Musk isn't filthy but he's as dirty as they come!
Remember Letterman's Stupid Pet Tricks bit? Think of this as Stupid Human Tricks from overgrown adolescents who are just delighting themselves with these acts that would get an actual adolescent suspended from school. It's all done to provoke a response so they can imagine themselves as tough guys.
We are not Nazis and we do not do the Nazi salute or signs!!! WE HAVE TO STOP FASCISM and keep our DEMOCRACY and our FREEDOMS.
RESIST! RESIST! RESIST! RESIST! RESIST! RESIST!
I don’t see anything funny about this.That’s part of the problem.Everything isn’t a joke.This is just the beginning of what’s to come.If people become de-sensitized to this,it will become acceptable behavior.History repeating itself!! Don’t think it can’t happen here.It’s already started!
I saw a hilarious comedian comment on how anyone could question their own eyes and try to find reasons as to why this was anything but what it was-a Nazi solute.
Unfortunately it will not stop.
The next level will be audience participation.
This is as ugly as it gets and getting uglier.
We need an off ramp, FAST!
republicans seem to feel great about it - otherwise they would be calling it out. But the press certainly has an obligation to cover it - which they have long ignored now - because most media conglomerates have been compromised.
We need a contemporary Indiana Jones story. Something like Indiana Jones’ great grandchild, who is an archaeology professor and is trying to preserve artifacts and knowledge during the nazi takeover of America
Something to remind your MAGA family and acquaintances: it wasn’t just Germans wearing silly costumes with swastikas and doing dumb salutes that were considered nazis. Anyone that lended support to nazi clowns were also considered nazis. You support a nazi, you are a nazi
And why aren't his little geniuses being called into congress to answer some questions? Not that congress will enforce a subpoena! Those so called "kids" Need a good scare.
Bannon is losing his stature in the maga party to leon, so he has to try to up stage him or try to be equally dumb. Bannon is a loser, & crook and always has been.
I don't care how they feel, they've already told us!
I have said many times before, there are solutions for the traitors to our Republic. Where is the will to stop bringing a knife to the gunfight? They must be made an offer they can't refuse, find something that matters to them and squeeze.
Elected Republicans don't give a shit about this country, it's been made clear, only themselves, power, money and CONTROL. At the expense of everyone else. They've abdicated their oath of office, to The Constitution, it is unacceptable. They are due the same consideration demonstrated to us, ZERO!
Here in Canada the US MAGAts have bought most ogmf our Media. We do have a bunch of good small independent organizations and a few great YouTubers but not much else.
I watched it so many times. Not only did bannon do it but he practiced it. Its totally rehearsed and that means he had an agenda for it to be public. Its the fourth riech. I can't stress enough how quickly this needs to be crushed

The mainstream media is complicit. Only independent journalists on streaming sites and reddit/bluesky and other social media platforms seem to be talking about these nazi's doing nazi things.
They’re not even trying to hide it. Bannon knew what the response was when Musk did it. So even generously trying to excuse Musk’s salute as something else (which I don’t believe), Bannon knew how his would be interpreted.
I think they’re both saying the same thing. They like fascism.
I already tried it with my brother… When Elon did it, he said that wasn’t a Nazi salute. I looked on Fox and they were only showing them part of the frame and they wouldn’t be able to tell what he did with what they were looking at as far as I could see.
Stop what, them from saluting like this? It's their constitutional right to do so. We are the ones that must recognize what it means and take action by protesting or voting them out. If they ask Republicans about it, they will only brush it off as something else or completely ignore the question.
These images are seared across my brain. My mother, my father, WWII vet, would be shocked at where we are. We were a moral people until these greedy, criminal fascists snookered the election.
My grandmother, devout Irish catholic, portraits of Pope John, JFK, and FDR by the Parrish print, would weep
It’s so weird and mind-boggling that these men are openly giving Nazi salutes yet the machinery around them spins up “plausible deniability” excuses and large swaths of media and the public buy it.
Critical thinking at scale would have saved us, and its absence is dooming us.
You don’t want to stop it. People are seeing these vile POS for who they are. France’s right wing party leader who was scheduled to after Bannon immediately left after his Nazi salute. Musk/Trump/Bannon are too extreme for European right wing groups. I hope Trump/Elon/Bannon endorse Poilievre!
Bannon is only doing this because he is having a hard time with his break up with Trump and the KKK. He is trying to tell Trump and the racist " See I can be like him too" but lacks the funds. Tisk tisk
I’m not blaming journos. We are witnessing a psychiatric event in real time and the only people who can stop it are Republicans. They need to understand that T&M won’t stop until they are stopped. They will keep pushing, testing, until outside forces stop them. Or until one of them
Every GOP senator & rep should have every single office called repeatedly asking if they will be giving the nazi salute. Media won’t crap. Hang this on maga.
Does the whole GOP party promote Hitler and Nazis in America now?
There is a collective mass insanity at play; it’s like a race to see who can outrage everyone else the most; this includes the media ignoring this stupid reckless behaviour - god help us all
I don't say this as a threat or for shock value, but as a sad and sober assessment that authoritarianism when entrenched in a government isn't usually defeated peacefully. I wish otherwise sincerely. I hope for massive civil disobedience, but expect violence.

Every one of their Snotzi rallies needs to be overwhelmed by good citizens counter-protesting. This is one instance where public demonstration and civil disobedience is needed to crack the MAGAt façade.
Everyday thing now. Are we going to stop with pledge of allegiance and install new Nazi salutes to open a session of Congress, open the markets and start our school days? Let me count the ways our leaders have failed us.
No point in asking anyone about this. We all know what it is, and Republicans will never admit they support Nazis in spite of them supporting Nazis... Honestly I think we'd be better off not giving them the attention they are seeking with the Sig Heil.
Comments
Also republicans: He said his heart goes out to him
Also republicans: Look at this still shot of this here
Also republicans: Well they didn’t mean for it to look like that
Reality here: All your republicans have are lies and excuses they make for this behavior
Now just full Hitler Nazi Salutes #MAGA now is there new signaling!
Got it!
Cut their arms off.
RESIST! RESIST! RESIST! RESIST! RESIST! RESIST!
This ain't gonna end by itself. I'll be shocked if this doesn't end (assuming it does) without blood being spilled.
but i do have this stupid nazi duck graphic that i can change the name on every time one of these idiots decides to salute. at least it's something.
say nothing, they're triggered.
say something, they're triggered.
if you can get reason & logic to make a dent in their heads, i wish you the best. i will applaud you to no end if you can.

What do you call the people who saw the Heils and supported the leader, even if they claim to not support them entirely? You call them Nazis.
They claim that it isn't a nazi salute — but why do they always do it with the right arm — and ONLY the right arm? (Even the same angle!)
How the fuck is this acceptable ANYWHERE????
I have said many times before, there are solutions for the traitors to our Republic. Where is the will to stop bringing a knife to the gunfight? They must be made an offer they can't refuse, find something that matters to them and squeeze.
I hope it doesn’t interfere with his faith.
🤣
The "G" in GOP stands for Gaslighting.
Your lucky to have YouTubers and Maddow.
Here in Canada the US MAGAts have bought most ogmf our Media. We do have a bunch of good small independent organizations and a few great YouTubers but not much else.
Protests at this point will do little to stop anything. Historically thing get violent pretty fast at this point.
I'll be surprised if Trump doesn't start ordering legal protesters to be shot.

We need to start breaking these motherfuckers ourselves! See a nazi, punch a nazi!
What's different this time?
The floodlight times ended. We have entered the torch-light times, hopefully people start acting accordingly.

Susan=GOP=NAZIS
But the bottom line is the party is sitting at the Nazi table.
If you don’t get up- you’re a Nazi. Every MAGA and GOP is a Nazi sympathizer.

Looks like a Afrikaner and a White Supremacist can be anti-Semitic without backlash.
B. The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi
C. Punch HARD!
D. All of the above.
must be brought to heel
