    His alleged Nazi salute is indeed kind of a red herring.

    Tim Waltz did the exact same salute btw. The same Tim Waltz that says that Trump 100% did a nazi salute. I guess Tim Waltz is a Nazi too.

        It’s not around the 1:15 mark, it’s around the 2min mark. Same “salute” as Musk.

          It really isn’t. It’s not even close. You said I had gold medal mental gymnastics, but you’ve just done another gold medal performance.

          E: but thank you for pointing out my typo

            His gesture is as much of a “Nazi salute” as Elon Musks. They’re either both Nazi salutes, or neither are. No other option.

              No, they are nothing alike, at all.

              You: "either everything is “A” or everything is “B”, there is no alternatives.

              See how silly that is?

              No, that is not how words or logic or anything really works. But it is unsurprising that a fascist like you wouldn’t know that, considering you don’t really care about words.

      Tim Waltz does not have eugenics-adjacent beliefs.

      Also, I think you may have misinterpreted what “red herring” means.

        I didn’t misinterpret that, I was simply pointing out that it wasn’t a nazi salute unless you also think Tim Waltz is a nazi.

          And you are bringing up a red herring (salutes) that doesn’t matter, because, well, I don’t know. But that’s the whole point of the saying.

          Yes notice the crisp snappy way waltz did it? With fingers together, and twice so there is no way to doubt what it was? Ohhh wait sorry that was elons.

              All the nazis saw it as a nazi salute too! They were chuffed! Let’s not ignore his love and support for the afd, and antisemites on Twitter!

              Yes, the way you say two, very very different things are the same is certainly gold medal worthy mental gymnastics. Well said.
