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

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.
Hell, we only got involved with the Nazis because Hitler declared war on the US after the US declared war on Japan for pearl harbor.
Bullshit. We supported Europe similarly to how we've been supporting Ukraine.
We didn't have boots on the ground, but we did everything short of that. It's why Pearl Harbor happened.

I would go as far to say the reason they did d-day wasn't to defeat the nazis, but to liberate as much of western europe as they could before the soviets set up social republics in france and the netherlands.
Then you go so far that you're off the map.
No, the US stayed out of the war until after the Nazis had been defeated at Stalingrad and were getting pushed out of Russia. The reason the US didn't enter the war earlier was 1. Forces in the US wanted Europe destroyed since all it would take is a push to over industrialize our economy and we could emerge as the worlds leading superpower (which happened) and 2. The powerful forces in the US were really hoping the Nazis would defeat the Soviets.
The other poster is more correct, we entered the war to clean up the western front and prevent the USSR from taking the credit for "winning", and prevent expansion or even diplomatic leverage.
Completely ahistorical garbage. If the US wanted the Nazis to beat the Soviets, then why did they send billions in equipment and supplies even before Stalingrad.

What a pussy. Do it with your chest you fucking Nazi coward.
How can someone do a Nazi salute with his chest?
"Apparently"
The level of disgust I feel for this Nazi Skum is just mind boggling.

I all invite them to come to germany and do it :)
They'd have diplomatic immunity and the AfD would cheer.
If you were going to kick them out of the country for doing it, we'll, they've already done it. You can kick them out preemptively.

Germany is literally right on the edge of their own fascist issues right now. The symbolism may not be as directly 1to1 as America. But the outcomes are building up to be the same. Germans learned all the wrong lessons from their past and now the "never again" seems to be "well, again, but only to Muslims this time. We promise it stops there"
How's that song go? "Tell them that the Nazis never really went away". They weren't kidding.
What i mean with that is:
They come over, do the Hitlergruß, then get arrested and heavily fined because its highly illegal to do that in germany
Couple years ago I was drinking in Prague in the middle of the night and came across these German teenagers doing it and they told me "it's great we are allowed to do this in Czech Republic" lol
I have pics of them doing it, absolutely wild

it's worse than that, we shift all the guilt about antisemitism and nazism onto muslims, so that they're perceived as the actual nazis and we're innocent happy fellows who are bestest of friends with The Jews™ who just happen to all support and live in israel and no other jewish opinion or existence is allowed or acknowledged. the palestinian genocide really is a denazification, israel is just cleaning up little hitler babies with daily bomb and drone strikes.
I'm really struggling with the idea that humanity doesn't deserve to survive. Its just mind blowing how stupid and disgusting people can be.
I don't struggle with it at all. I accepted it decades ago. I suppose it makes the end of the world easier to deal with.

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
