What does a person think when in this situation and voting?

I am actually skeptical that all of these people who claim they voted for Trump actually did. I have no doubt that many did but I think some are trying to bargain. Note that many ask for special treatment.

It isn’t going to work but they’re desperate.

Not saying this guy is in that category. I have no way to know.
 
Not sure if this is best to include on this thread, but thought I’d share.

My girlfriend works at a private school and recruits international students and coordinates short- and long-term visits. She has a group of 8 or 9 Brazilian teenagers in town, and they visited Charleston late last week and weekend (snow on the ground).

They were in a pizza joint having lunch. She had to go to the ATM and was away a few minutes. She said when she got back, the waitress was all apologizing and upset. Some man, on his way out, started berating the kids about they needed to speak English, and they didn’t belong here, and that’s why we had to have Trump.

She put something on Facebook about it, and was told to take it down. Could be the school understandably wants to keep kids out of contentious discussions. Also: a good many Trumpy types associated with that school.

In any case, it’s not surprising that bigots are feeling emboldened. I’m sorry those kids had to go through that. They mostly seem very nice.

Something like this is going to get me locked up again. No telling what I would have said to that redneck and what would have transpired if I did.
 
Since this ain't under the corporate umbrella of paramount/cbs/les moonves and TomSelleck, I get to call a nazi pos a nazi pos?

I would cut Germany some slack here. Because of their history, too much criticism of Israel would likely be counterproductive.

Given the genocide in Gaza, it also gives Germany the benefit of saying (sotto voce) "See, what we did wasn't so bad. Even they're doing it when given the chance"...

Are you fucking serious?

Pathetic. Being a Nazi apologist is a weird hill to die on, but I guess it works for you

Seems pretty valid. Musk has claimed it was an innocent gesture. Plenty of other politicians have done something similar, per these examples.

If he was really hoping to somehow signal his Nazi bona fides, he's going to come out and say it. He's not exactly shy about saying controversial and/or stupid stuff.

Another Nazi apologist. No shock. Every bit as pathetic.

If you believe that why don't you post yourself performing the same gesture on social media. Or do it at your job.

Let us know how it goes for you.

I've done it. No issues. Usually people just wave good bye back, but then again, no one normal immediately jumps to the conclusion that there are millions of Nazis wandering around.
