    Thank you Snopes. I’m so tired of explaining the difference between a picture and a video.

    Unfortunately, this whole thing worked exactly as intended. The overwhelming majority of US citizens were discussing if Musk was a Nazi while Trump signed a massive list of executive orders under the cover of media noise.

      the fortunate thing is that for a few people it was a wake up call. they focused on the executive orders in ways they wouldn’t have before because the action was so shocking and appalling. just… you know. not enough. but it’s not nothing

      I don’t get what you mean. The executive orders are very much in the news. I’ve seen it on every major news station. Not like it really matters because trumpers are going to trump and many others don’t care either way.

      snipes had to do it, but nobody actually believes they were doing the same thing. internet trolls have metastasized and are nazis… it’s the good old, “playing dumb” routine, and trying to split hairs, disingenuously, instead of getting to the subject of anything… the goal is to frustrate you and sap your energy until you give up and they get away with it.
      while people are arguing whether or not the most blatant nazi salute ever was actually a nazi salute, nobody’s arguing about what to do about nazis taking over….
      just filter out all talk of whether or not reality is real, and go with the facing reality type conventions
