"I still am not rocking with anyone sympathetic to Nazis," the Democrat said. "And I will do that until I am six feet in the ground.”

    …Musk used an arm gesture, twice, that resembled the Roman salute adopted by the Nazis.

    Huffington Post also too fucking jellospined to actually say that the fuckwit did indeed throw the Nazi salute. Twice.

      It isn’t a Roman salute. It was a French painters idea of what the Romans did (based on absolutely nothing), which was appropriated by the fascist movement of Mussolini (who only dreamt of being Romans).

      It’s blatantly wrong, and this is a purely fascist thing. They are the only ones in history every using the salute.

      I honestly would like to know what that French painter would think about all this.

      Yeah AOC is wrong here, more than half of people voted for a clear nazi sympathizer. If we hated nazis so much we wouldn’t have done that.

    I guess

    “In this country a minority of us hate Nazis, unless the voting machines were rigged, but that might be a post-truth distraction to allow more and more fascist things to sneak through unchecked or distracted from or worn down by”.

    was too long.

    Media continues to show its true face with this measly mouthed concern trolling. If you never stand for anything then you stand for everything wrong in the world to remain the same.

    Unfortunately we need more people like AOC to allow the media to quote the correct views without taking a stand themselves. I don’t know if that formula is ever goi g to benefit us though since Fox can go out and spread misinformation every day and never get sued for more than they earned doing it. Media companies like wapo don’t need to make money because they’re propaganda vessels for their owners, it’s hard to combat bullhorns of bullshit coming from the effectively immune.
