AOC Rips Elon Musk: 'In This Country, We Hate Nazis'
www.huffpost.com
"I still am not rocking with anyone sympathetic to Nazis," the Democrat said. "And I will do that until I am six feet in the ground.”

Summary

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized Elon Musk after he made a gesture during Trump’s inauguration resembling a Nazi salute.

Musk and his allies dismissed the comparison, calling such accusations exaggerated.

Ocasio-Cortez, however, called the gesture unacceptable, emphasizing America’s history of opposing Nazis and the Confederacy.

She also condemned the Anti-Defamation League for defending Musk, accusing it of losing credibility.

Her comments sparked broader debate on symbols, gestures, and their implications amid Trump’s return to office.

    You may want to reread some history, there were plenty of Nazi sympathizers and collaborators (read: nazis) in the US back then too.

      Oh I’m well aware, but push came to show and the better minds prevailed, back then, and as a result, so did the country.

      I’m not convinced the outcome would’ve been the same today.

        The saying is “if push comes to shove” ie if shit gets real /escalates.

          English is not my native tongue, and I knew I was on thin ice with that one…

            It’s actually “on thin eyes”, i.e people are watching you closely.

            Nah just fucking with ya.

            Not a big deal, I just prefer knowing if I make a mistake in my second language so I don’t keep making it.

        And then those better minds snapped up as many Nazi scientists they could and put them to work for “the good guys”, and burnt a few crosses.
