      The seeds of this started in the George Bush era and earlier.

      The compliant press that cheer led the Iraq war.

      The formation of an oligarchy that hugely influenced economic policy.

      The attacks on experts, scientists and general modern science.

      The vicious attacks on liberals and anybody else who opposed them.

      The infiltration of far-right Christians into the highest levels of government and the military.

        It was letting Nixon’s resignation be “good enough” and not putting him in prison.

        It was also ending Reconstruction instead of hanging all the Confederate leaders.

          The story so far: In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

          It doesn’t matter when exactly it “started”. The question should be how we get out of it. Or, more fundamentally, what actually is the problem, fundamentally? Is it a bunch of racists and bigots abusing a corrupt system to inch the US (well, we do have it in Europe too, just not so extreme yet) ever closer to fascism, or is it the underlying system of escalating exploitation and conflict that enables them?

    I’m still sore the US didn’t take action in 2004 when Habeas Corpus was suspended and Americans were being abducted, rendered, and tortured at black sites. The HC thing was referenced in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End released in 2007.

    We knew then shit was off when every Republican on the street was saying torture was right and proper, and waterboarding wasn’t torture.

    What the fuck is wrong with you America Humanity?

    I thought liberty died when I was told it was pointless to vote, then people didn’t vote and then the Nazis won.

    Funny how the malicious people tell me the same thing as people who claim to be on my side.

      My guy he did the same action twice in a row with feeling. This wasn’t just an “oops my hand momentarily made that gesture”.

      He fully committed to it. All that was missing was a heel click and a goose step.

      I’ll give a good faith reply, I hope you will do the same 😊

      See the video yourself, both times he does it. How much force and how strict it is. How determined it is. If you doubt that it is real, try to do exactly the same yourself (when no one sees), and then it will probably become obvious that it is in no way a coincidence.

      Everyone has had their hand up like that to wave at some point. The difference is how it got there and the entire gesture.

      The left can sometimes be overreacting, but this is in no way an overreaction. This is a gruesome reminder and a mockery of the darkest part of human history. He’s not a teenage edgelord anymore. He’s >50 years old, the worlds richest man and a part of the administration of the most powerful country in the world.

      Can you find a video of a high profile democrat gesturing the same way as Elon, or a nazi?

      Edit: Here’s one of Kamela having her hand like the pictures, but not doing the gesture https://www.reddit.com/r/gifs/comments/1i6szwa/context_for_those_sharing_kamala_still_images/

      If your a Nazi sympathizer, then you’re a Nazi. There is only one good kind of Nazi. Id elaborate, but its breaks several rules to do so…
