Steve Bannon Gives Apparent Nazi Salute During CPAC Speech, Mirroring Elon Musk | Video

Well these Nazis are back

America has a nazi problem and there is only one solution to a nazi problem

There are things that happen to people who are nazis.

The thing that should really give nazis pause is, even if they win, they still lose. It's not like they're gonna have a good life in whatever society they think they're making.

Not another accidental Nazi salute! These clumsy Nazis keep accidentally throwing that Nazi salute around completely by mistake!

What do mean apprent.

This was in the same speech where he said that the Holy Spirit was working through Trump to do all of this, and that Trump should have a third term and beyond.

It's becoming obvious that we should be treating Trumpism as a religious cult, not just a political movement.

What a piece of shit.

And every conservative in America is silent.

Silence is complicity.

No more excuses. No more feigned ignorance.

It's not exactly the same as Musk's (doesn't thump his heart first) -- which is probably the point. Trying to sneak in more completely implausible "plausible deniability." Nobody's fooled. It looks like a duck, it's a duck.

Distraction & diversion. He's revealed his "secrets" in length in the past about his calculated moves in puppeteering the media and general discourse, preventing us from focusing on what's actually important. It's already working on the shoddy news media of 2025. Don't let it work on general discourse as well

Good. I want more of them to do it. Let's get past the phase where people still try to rationalize ways in which it's not what it literally is.

The real headline should be "CPAC audience cheers Bannon's Nazi salute", because they totally did, and it leaves no doubt that CPAC is full of Nazis.

This isn't new, right?

I cannot wait for these monsters to get their faces kicked in. Fuck these fascists!

It's almost like the capitalist media has completely normalized and apologized for fascism.

So at this point, the leaders of both major political wings of MAGA have openly done the fascist salute.

Maga America needs to be denazified.

There seems to be an epidemic of "awkward hand gestures" and "Roman salutes" and according to some people on Twitter we're not allowed to call them Nazis because we can't literally read minds. I'm so tired of enablers.

Most people have muscle memory of like normal wave or maybe a clenched fist pump for "fight fight fight" right? It's not supposed to be difficult to avoid nazi saluting. Like I've never ALMOST sieg heil'd, you know? fuck sakes

If it quacks like a nazi.....

Fuckin' Nazi fuck

I hate Illinois Nazis.

I shall now remind the world that the USA didn't care all that much about nazis in WW2 until it got attacked by Japan in Pearl Harbor and felt the need to react.

I honestly think the feud with Elon is fueled by jealousy to be Trumps Nazi.

You'd think it would be easy to avoid doing this, but watch as the MAGA scum come out of the woodwork to rush to the defense of another guy who totally didn't mean it, honest.

Apparent? Shut the fuck up.

I'd like to go back to a simpler time. A time when nazis got shot in the fucking face.

And nobody who refused to accept it the first time will accept it now.

Judge for yourselves ... pretty blatant Nazi salute if I've ever seen one. Short and quick but it was a plainly obvious gesture.

1930s German Nazis would have laughed at it for being so pitiful and weak but it was there from what I saw.

If the linked time doesn't work ... scroll through to the end of his 15 minute speech at 8:16:32

Let me guess the excuse: he also has autism and autistic people just can't help doing Nazi salutes all the time.

You know how you keep seeing autistic people give Nazi salutes?

I all invite them to come to germany and do it :)

In times past, anyone doing anything like that around the president would have put the president on the fast track to impeachment.

Today, this will just slide, and we'll have another piece of outrageous news tomorrow that nobody will be outraged about for more than 10 minutes. Different values today I guess...

I posted it on the thread that was removed, but here it is again, video proof:

Fuck me, I'm scared for my friends in the States

Meh, that was a pretty weak nazi salute. I care less about that stuff and more about thier actions that affect actual policy and such. Those actions are usually worse anyway.

What a pussy. Do it with your chest you fucking Nazi coward.

Well yeah, but he's not a cool Nazi: he looks like he sleeps in the street while the South African one is a kajillionaire who makes space rockets and electric cars.

Nobody likes an uncool Nazi.

Also, here's the actual source of the article instead of a link to an aggregator:

The cognitive dissonance over at r/conservative is showing cracks over this one. Same with the "dictator" comments about Zelensky. You can make MAGATs believe a lot of things, but telling them that, actually, Putin is the good guy, and Nazis are pretty cool, is a hard sell.

If it a salute it was a pretty shit and lazy one. Not that I would be surprised if that's what it was.

Anatomically, there is no way for his arm to make this move involuntarily, unless he wants his arm to avoid all these shit coming out of his kings ass
