I love how certain media call it a Roman Salute in an attempt to defend him.

Like, do they think Hitler just made it up himself?

He stole it from the Italians under Mussolini, who basically took it from a painting. There’s no evidence the Romans used this salute, so it’s always been associated with fascism.

Unfortunately, evidence isn’t something these folks are worried about.

Even if it was a roman salute, that was a symbol of fascism.

That’s what I’m saying, it takes literally four seconds to look up where the “Roman” salute came from.

But these kids aren’t big on the whole “reading” thing.

Ok, how often do you see Hindus, Buddhists, Nepalese, Indians, Thai, Mongolians, Sri Lankans, Chinese, Japanese, Akans, Hopis, Navajo, and Tlingit peoples spray paint it on walls or get it tattooed on their bodies in AMERICA? This isn’t any of those countries you listed. The next time I see someone with a swastika on their neck and a Nazi salute here in America am I supposed to assume it’s a peace loving Buddhist with an interest in Roman history?

I for one am absolutely amused that every reputable news source calls ot a nazi-style salute, since Elon couldn’t even get the salute right, despite his best efforts.

It looks like the halfway point between a Nazi salute and a dab

Isnt this the wrong community? This is not an onion or onion like article… I know Chaser usually does that, but there are no jokes or lies in there really are there? All those quotes have been said/written by someone.

In their defense, the party said its most important action item on the talking points memo was not to trust your eyes or your ears any longer.
