Same old grievance politics.

We all watched it happen in real time. We all saw the footage, the screenshots, the GIFs. He performed two straight-armed Nazi salutes, complete with the accompanying expression and theatricality. It was entirely consistent with his public persona, his political associations, and his alignment with Trumpist and MAGA politics.

Yet years later you still feel compelled to construct a protective narrative around it. What's particularly amusing is that you're the one who resurrected this thread in an apparent attempt to score a point, only for the argument to collapse under its own weight.

Meanwhile, Trump's record speaks for itself. His self-inflicted conflict with Iran has ended in strategic failure, his promises on cost-of-living relief and affordability have largely gone undelivered, and by most objective measures many Americans are worse off than they were promised they would be. Despite all of that, your instinct remains to rush to the defence of a man making Nazi salutes.

That, more than anything else, reveals the basis of your support. The economic promises can be abandoned. The anti-establishment rhetoric can be forgotten. The policy failures can be rationalised away. But when accusations of racism arise, you're immediately in the trenches defending them.

It's difficult to avoid the conclusion that this is the one area in which Trump has actually met your expectations.

You're right, as Greg said, there were 2.

The "tell it how it is" poster using motivated reasoning to tell us how he'd like it to be...

Too funny.

Meanjin, Qld -  A man was rushed to the hospital yesterday after encountering a slightly different viewpoint than his own.

Shortly before 12:30 p.m.,Brisbane police officers responded to a triple 0 call at the Java Lounge Coffee House in Fortitude Vallley. They found a person who had collapsed in shock and went to the station for help. Witnesses say the man was having a casual conversation about politics with another patron when the minutely opposing viewpoint was expressed.

"They were both pwogwessive, woke Lefties," said Janice Hughson, a barista at the Java Lounge. "Then the guy he was talking to said he had some issues with gender transition and thinks there should at least be a few limitations put on the practice. That's when the man seized up and began foaming at the mouth. It was terrible."

Four other bystanders were also emotionally injured by the moderately divergent opinion but were not hospitalized.

The man (?) is being kept stable on ideology support at Royal Brisbane Adult Female Hospital, surrounded by friends and family who agree with him/her/ze 100% on every single issue.

The man who suggested the slightly differing opinion fled the scene. Anyone with information is asked to alert the authorities.

Your whole fantasy to protect your views and opinions hinges on the fact that we all have to ignore what we saw with our own eyes.

You're projecting again haha...

It takes deranged, spiteful, idiotic morons like you, TDS kids, to turn this in to  'nazi salute'.

You are stupid, you are ignorant, you are malicious above all. But you have NOTHING else so you will persist.

Ok, answer me this then, you're saying it wasn't a Nazi Salute, it was the Roman blah blah... Can you at least admit that watching the footage without any context that it looks like a Nazi salute?

You can at least see that and have the honesty to admit that?
