Comment on Elon Musk Ignites Online Speculation Over the Meaning of a Hand Gesture

  It’s not important, it just makes us look like we’re in hystrionics about Musk etc.

  To most Americans, they’re not worried about a handful of idiots in swastikas. When we take this sort of bait it just makes real criticisms look like more Lefty whining.

    “Most Americans are not worried about a handful of idiots in swastikas.”

    Yeah, that is entirely the fucking point. We should be, I am most of Americans and I give a shit about this and you would be a fucking moron not to because not giving a shit is literally how this stupid fuck ended up on stage making this shit normal for them.

      If you are representing most Americans, then presumably you voted trump?

      Musk is playing us apparently beautifully.

      What literally made trump President is people didn’t believe the warnings on the Left, presumably because we screamed FASCIST for oh, the last 8 years and even the trump presidency we feared didn’t bring about a fascist revolution. But hey, now that there are hand waves it is clearly important to get outraged and be taken even less seriously! Otherwise trump might not dominate the mid terms I guess.

      Fuck I wish my side wasn’t so goddamn easy to bait.
