They are still paying lip service that it’s not a Nazi salute for now. The coup is on the verge of gaining full control of the military at which point they’ll drop the pretense.

Mass protests will “justify” declaring martial law.

The current attacks on Zelenskyy “being a dictator” because there hasn’t been an election during the war is intended to get the American left to loudly proclaim that not holding elections during periods of martial law is justified. So when the Trump regime declares martial law, elections will become a thing of the past.

Here's the problem why people are having a hard time wrapping their heads around it. Cognitive dissonance, They're still expecting then to behave like politicians, Because A POLITICIAN WOULD NEVER DO THAT!!! They wouldn't get re-elected! Doesn't everybody understand that we fought against them! It's just a grand gesture!

This is population mental whiplash on a grand scale. The problem is the mind always lags behind the body when reacting to danger. it's what the mind decides to do next that will determine survival.

The fellow travelers will continue to deny it, while the self-identified fascists will become progressively more open with it. Vance and Musk and the rest of the reactionary neo-fascists don't need to convince the average Republican they aren't fascists, the average Republican has spent a decade or more pretending that the Republican Party hasn't happily made itself a home for fascism in public life.

The question I keep asking my conservative family is, "When do we start to be concerned, at what point do we call them Nazis?"

This tactic aims specifically at having the left discuss it. This gives Nazis a chance to reframe the discussion and promote their agenda. Source: https://www.salon.com/2025/01/22/elon-musks-salute-falls-flat-why-far-right-trolling-isnt-working-this-time/

What we should be doing instead of discussing this? Nazis will feel empowered to take the streets, as it happened in Ohio and Cincinnati. Just for the sake of historical accuracy, I suggest you study the history of the 1970's anti-nazi practices in East London.

They solved their Nazi problems for years to come. Just go out and have some self-care. Touch grass. /s

They don't have to pretend, the media is doing it for them.

Who's the guy at the top? The name in the card says "courtesy Matt Schlapp, chairman CPAC", but it doesn't seem to be the same guy.
