    It’s mindblowing how anyone still genuinely thinks what he did was anything but.

      Having been on several bar trivia teams, I can say that at least 80% of Americans know virtually nothing about history. I could imagine someone with only a vague familiarity with a Nazi salute just assuming there’s no way a fortune 500 CEO would actually do one, not recognizing how spot on of a Hitler impression that was.

      It’s obvious deflection. Don’t engage. They have to convince themselves and by giving them the time of day they win.

      It’s disgusting that people have to have this discussion at all.

      Who am I gonna believe? The right-wing choads who are gaslighting us about this, or my lying eyes?
