Invoking “1984” doesn’t automatically make you profound or right. You sidestep with a quip, offering no counter-evidence or analysis, just a tired dystopian trope. If you’re going to accuse someone of ignoring “evidence of your eyes and ears,” at least bring a shred of proof to the table instead of leaning on literary clichés to mask a weak rebuttal. The video may raise questions, but dismissing the point with a smug one-liner only shows you’re more interested in sounding clever.

It wasn't for you, it was for everyone else who feels the same way I do about what is quite clear. There's at least 3 other prominent republicans who also Sieg Heiled, including Bannon, once Trump's chief strategist, in front of CPAC (the tea party/the GOP): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7E9pXCuJnbc

You know that for it to be a Sieg Heil salute one must actually say Seig Heil while saluting?

[hayst4ck]

No I don't. I've never had Sieg Heil lessons.

I am sure it must also be at exactly a 30 degree angle with even a degree off invalidating it as an official nazi salute.

There is definitely no history of deportations, loyalty purges, secret police, cowing of the judiciary and universities, provocations of anti-semitism, big lies, or attacks on institutions that might inform the greater context and there definitely aren't people who have studied fascism at our most respected universities who are warning us that fascism is here: https://www.nytimes.com/video/opinion/100000010157022/yale-c...
