One fun way of getting your Republican family member to acknowledge that Musk made a Nazi salute is to ask them if you can film them making the gesture

I've been doing this with my Republican co-workers, and have gotten no takers thus far. I've even offered to let them film me mimicking what Obama, Harris, Talor Swift, and Warren were doing in the videos used for the screenshots they are all passing around.
My parents are standard British conservatives and yesterday they were like, "oh hey did you see that Musk did a Nazi salute, that's wild". No question whether it was actually a Nazi salute.
Clearly not a question among conservatives in other countries.
It's not a question among conservs here in the US, imo. They are pretending there's another motivation. They know the truth.
Do they understand the stakes of playing this game? I think most see that, too. Unconscionable.
Nah.. they just know disingenuous fucks will get a ton of mileage out of it. In the moment they give it, it's just a gesture.. because it has no context that is vaguely Nazi. You are asking them to give a historical presentation. You will present it as something far mor malevolent. They're not fools

can you imagine what would happen to our poor planet if everyone was so selfish as to have 12 kids ?
the mind boggles
