I just searched “nazi salute” on r/conservative… and its just such insane denialism…
Like, what if musk just do the “Heil H**ler” too?
I wonder what excuses they’ll make then?
🤔
Fake News?
Deepfake?
🤣
r/conservative should be renamed to r/neonazi
He’s doing it ironically to own the libs and mock them for thinking he was a Nazi.
The playbook isn’t all that deep.
“The left just looove to call people racists and Nazis, and he gave them exactly what they were asking for and now they’re losing their minds. He’s the world’s biggest troll! I think it was hilarious, honestly - sure, he probably shouldn’t have done it, yeah, it wasn’t pc, but you call people Nazis long enough, what do you expect. Everyones a Nazi, everyone’s racist, meanwhile you’ve got liberals voting for people who sleep their way into positions of power and politicians who want to bus in votes from Mexico. It’s all bullshit smoke and mirrors. Politicians are all dirty. I like Trump because he doesn’t care what the mainstream thinks- he’ll burn it all down if he needs to to drain the swamp, and he’s doing it while thumbing his nose at the political establishment with statements like this.”
“Clearly a joke”
Probably just say he was joking.
This is what I think would be most probable too. It’s still too socially stigmatized to outright say something that effectively just means “I’m a Nazi,” so they’d have to play it off as some kind of joke.
I do, however, think a lot of them would suddenly, for no reason in particular, begin saying things like “Well, Hitler was a bad guy, but he did have some good ideas…” while going on to describe some of the worst ideas known to man.
“No, you misheard. He said ‘Kyle Kitler.’ What? No. I have no idea who that is either.”
