Elon’s was a blatant all out fascist salute. This cunt did a half assed one because hey too much of a little bitch to put his contemptible fascist ideology all out on display. but that will likely change soon. This country needs a revolution asap.

I mean, Bannon was never really trying to hide it.

This time they can't say it's a "my heart goes out to you" gesture, because Bannon has no heart.

Dog whistling with a fucking foghorn and conservatives probably still defending it

They're trying to co-opt the Nazi salute... Maybe they'll call it the Republican salute or the Freedom Wave or something even stupider. Can't wait to find out 🥴
