        He makes the face that a 12-year-old would make when trying to be cool and do something they’re not supposed to. It’s a recurring thing with him, both acting and looking like a shitty child.

      Right it’s insane the number of bot amounts that are aggressively trying to push this narrative. And they’re attacking anyone who doesn’t agree with them disturbing times

    I feel like “noo it wasn’t a Nazi salute, or uh, it wasn’t intentional” is more of a “right of center” response instead of a “center” response, and “Elon Musk just did a Nazi salute on live TV” is closer to center, but otherwise this seems accurate.

    Maybe the Overton window has shifted so far right that I’m wrong about that, though.

      On this case, the “noo it wasn’t a Nazi salute, or uh, it wasn’t intentional” is a “nazis paid me to say this” response. At best it’s “I haven’t seen it, and I don’t trust you” answer.

      But well, the people criticizing “centrists” are usually on that later category, and usually for good reason, so their experience may be biased.

    I hate these filthy Neutrals, Kif. With enemies you know where they stand but with Neutrals, who knows? It sickens me.

    Multiple accidents in a row. Accidentally doing the same thing multiple times with a smile on your face. Enthusiastically making a mistake, repeating it, and not commenting about the mistake.

    These are all examples of how people act when they make mistakes.

      it would have been better if it was a smile; he looked a bit too angry while talking “about his heart”

      I swear this admin could hang up a giant swastika flag in the Oval Office and the media would defend it as “they’re just honoring Usha Vance’s Hindu heritage, it doesn’t matter that it’s diagonal in a white circle on a red background with the 14 Words underneath, it’s a symbol of peace and prosperity”

    Shift that center to the right a little more. I think the true center would say something like “Why are we still talking about Elon Musk?”

      I doubt it. Even moderates understand that the richest man in the world getting his own White House department is novel and worth discussing.

        I’m saying the opinion that is labeled as center is not center at all. It’s right wing. We’re saying the same thing.

      I don’t understand why everyone who says this is downvoted in this thread. Saying that the apologists of a fascist who gave the Nazi salute on national television are more right that centre seems like a pretty reasonable stance.

    Do I think he did an actual salute? Honestly, I just think he got excited and tried to improvise some kind of “thank you” gesture. I’m going to forget about this in a week anyway.

    Do I think he’s a nazi? Yeah.

    Plus, the wealth he hoards can solve some societal problems forever. That’s more than enough for him to qualify as an evil bastard.

    He’s going to gut all the government agencies investigating his shitty business practices.

    That whole cabinet is going to fuck absolutely everything up astronomically.

    Only valid for the American political.

    All my friends here in Europe, up to and including centre right, are the far left wojak in this meme

    I don’t know what you hope to accomplish with these memes other than pushing people to the right… Like is that the goal? Because it seems like that’s the goal. It’s a constant strawman fallacy with the same bullshit format the far right uses in their memes.
