      In this case I think the point is to be on the nose about how fucking ridiculous it is - just from this article:

      Steve Bannon made a gesture that is identical to a Nazi salute

      Bannon made the gesture — extending his arm, palm down, fingers straight, at an upward angle away from his chest, which is also what Nazi salutes look like

      the gesture was also identical to one made by billionaire Elon Musk

      extended his arm straight out, palm down, fingers straight, at an upward angle away from his chest. Which, whatever the billionaire’s intention, just happens to be precisely how a Nazi salute is performed.

      Musk repeated the gesture. Here’s how that looked. <pic of Musk doing a Nazi salute>

        I also wouldn’t be surprised if the DoJ would be specifically ordered to look at this case. When you’re challenging power, it makes sense to cross your Ts and dot your Is.

      The space karen one was blatantly apparent, this was a pretty half assed attempt. Like he is too much of a bitch to put his contemptible fascist ideology on full display.
