You’ve posted some brain dead takes on here, but this is a new low for you.

You can freeze frame any footage of someone waving and gesticulating and come up with one of these.

Post the videos of instead of still images.
Then we can properly compare.

I'd assume we could wait for Musk to clarify - but in typical snowflake left fashion, you'd all not believe it.
 
Just highlighting similarities. Could his ill-judged chest bump and wave be misconstrued as a salute by those wishing it to be so?

Same goes for the photo above. They could be misconstrued as Nazi waves.


So, just wow.

Hey, you may be right. He may have just been waving to somebody, or he may have not realised what he was actually doing, but at the end of the day the context is strong with this one, we will await his explanation but my opinion is that he did a nazi salute twice and knew exactly what he was doing.

However, using still photographs of people with their arms up as a defence to somebody being seen on video pumping their chest and assertively putting his arm in that position (twice) does make you look a bit silly.
 
OOOOOOOOOH.


Bloke with Asperger's puts his hand on his chest and waves to the crowd 'my heart goes out to you'

Literal dictator doesn't put his hand on his heart & salutes.


You're all hoping it is what it blatantly isn't.
Bloke who has spent the last couple of months explicitly telling people to support Tommy Robinson, AfD, and other extremist street thugs, sharing far right Twitter accounts and memes, and spreading far right conspiracy theories gets up and does something that looks identical to a Nazi salute, twice.

You've got to be completely credulous if you think it's anything else. I mean, it could be like the edgelord "pretend" fascism that always ends up being actual fascism, and even that's being generous.

It's certainly done a great job at keeping the slew of horrific executive orders Trump has signed in the last 24 hours off the front page though.

You're on the wind up.
 
'Far-right' and 'Nazi' to depict the current MAJORITY ELECTED government.

I guess we need to start calling the USA The Greater American Reich if that's the case.
In our system he won a plurality, not a majority.
The head of one his government agencies and main financial backer gave a sieg Heil twice at his inauguration.
He pardoned a man who wore an Auschwitz hoodie while attacking the capitol building.
He pardoned the leaders of the proud boys and oath keepers, two self avowed far right violent groups.
All this while trying to make legal citizens illegal.

but sure, you think everyones exaggerating...
 
Define "better"

That word means something different to everyone

In today's political landscape, Democrat essentially means anyone who is not MAGA.

So that is a wide, wide, wide, wide swath of people.

How does one piece together that swath of people?

Obama was a generational political talent, who also came about at just exactly the right time. Sure, there are "better" options than Kamala out there, but what's better to me might not be better to you.

Our political landscape is an absolute mess because of the meticulously curated alternate reality that right wing media has fostered for the better part of 30-35 years now.

So spare me the simple argument that if "we just had a better candidate" we wouldn't be in this mess.

I assert that yes, we still would be in this mess. Because all the reasons that gave rise to this mess still exist.
Well if that's truly the case (and I'll bow to your superior knowledge as someone who actually lives there) you have my sympathy. It sounds like all the old clichés and jokes about the US being a third world nation with a massive budget might be more grounded in reality then I ever thought.
