7 days agoHe did a nazi salute and supports the fascist party openly advocating for the naked use of state power to subjugate, destroy the life of, or kill millions (as is the logical conclusion of the logistics of finding and deporting millions) of people in nationalist “cleansings” and “purification” against minority groups. He’s obsessed with breeding and perpetuates “great replacement” conspiracies. He supports the AfD. He hates and infantilises trans people (not exclusive to nazis but yaknow, they were big on that shit to the point of mass slaughter of us).
Here is a salute comparison. Do not gaslight yourself or the rest of us: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pICDVb3jztA
Its not just the gesture, its everything else as well. You know, repeating nazi conspiracy theories about jewish people wanting to eliminate “”“whiteness”“”, supporting the AfD, etc.
And I think that yes, he would do that. I mean, look at how many people are sanewashing this and trying to pretend he hasn’t even done it. Look at the fact he was cheered on by the people in the crowd while doing it.
America (or at least enough parts of it with political attentiveness and less apathy) is so far right that advocating for what amounts to mass ethnic cleansing/purges (as Trump/GOP has done, and as fascists do) is a completely accepted position by at least 30% of voters. Not to mention the plans to suborn the entire US government into a hyper authoritarian, totalising christian nationalist social-regimentation-enforcer, amongst so many other things I can’t even count.
