The fact that this is a real image is infuriating

  I think this was a distraction. Trump already started the policies.

  And it’s day fucking 1! We still have (at least) four more YEARS of this!

  I’m reminded of Trump’s first term, when we all thought it couldn’t possibly get any worse, and yet it always did keep getting worse.

      You think the social media propaganda machines all grinding into gear to pump out pro-trump propaganda isn’t going to help his popularity?

  I’m not American, so I’m just now catching up with what happened over there yesterday. The first time I saw this image (elsewhere), I was praying that this was AI-generated. And I hate seeing AI-generated stuff and I’m not religious either. I still wish it was AI but now I know it’s not and… jesus christ.

    As of today i find it difficult to find to actual truth.

    I’m tempted to believe he did it with intent, it definitely looks like it.

    But the amount of information i’ve stumbled on about China that turned out to be wrong, it feels like modern media is 95% trying to screw the other party.

      I can see how it was mistaken as an accident. Americans often put hand on heart and snap it to 45 degrees angle as an expression of thank you. Very common gesture, very easy to do it accidentally at a political event. 3 times in a row. While someone in the crowd yells “sieg heil!”

    This a good reminder that not voting is also a political position.

    I think your math is a little bit off though.

    There were ~244 million eligible voters in 2024. 75,017,613 voted for Harris*, which gives us ~169 million that allowed this to happen.

    *The only other viable candidate, like it or not.

      Whoops, fixed. My keyboard somehow gave the blame to non-eligible voters too.

  I expect the American pro-Israel politicians who threw hissy fits for «free Palestine» slogans to take appropriate stances for a literal fucking nazi salute on Inauguration day.

  Of course also the Israeli government, the German government, etc.

This is a new beginning. Let’s hope for healing and work toward unity in the months and years ahead,”

      It’s used by many cultures, but the point is Elon would wear it as an Nazi emblem and then riff how it was a symbol of peace. Just like pretending his fascist salute was a Roman salute.

    I was thinking the same. There should be a rule at any posts about these cunts needs to include their names in the title or something.

    The constant feed of these cunts every action is not conducive to positive mental health. I get it. Shits fucked. I don’t need to read about it all day.

    Filtering by community is impractical in some cases.

    That said, using thunderbird on android I can filter by keyword… is there an alternative front end for the desk top that allows the same?

  The US didn’t even get the excuse of being forced to pay obscenely high war reparations to justify their fascism. Instead, it’s dissatisfaction with inflation which, in turn, is the predictable combination of the exponential depletion of scarce resources (real estate, water) and the consolidation of property into the hands of an ultra wealthy minority. If one must frame the emergence of fascism in a “war” context, then the cause is plutocrat beligerantes strategically fighting a social class war while most of everyone else think it’s a culture war.
