Dumb Dems and the Hitler Card

Having been dealt a stinging rebuke on 5 November 2024, you might think the Democrats would learn something, for example, that playing the 'Hitler card,' like playing the 'race card,' will henceforth give them a losing hand. But no! The knuckleheads double down! 

Elon Musk is an exuberant fellow at the top of his game. And he is, like all sane people, very happy with the outcome of the November election. His heart goes out to all who brought the Orange Man to a second term. And so he jumps around and cuts loose with idiosyncratic arm-hand gestures. He puts his hand on his heart and then extends his arm. A neutral observer might call it a 'heart-felt thank-you' salute. See here for a video of his antics.

But of course the Musk gesture is a Nazi salute to our political enemies. Out comes the 'Hitler card'! Typical.

And then they amalgamate this piece of scurrilous stupidity with a display of their penchant for double standards. (An old saying has it that if you strip a leftist of his double standards he will be left with no standards at all.) After all, "Tampon Tim" (Tim Walz) and "Fauxcahontas" (Elizabeth Warren) have been known to engage in similar arm extensions.  Are they too Nazis?

What these fools don't understand is that they will continue to lose as long as they continue to slander we us the people.  

Should people this stupid be let anywhere near the levers of power?

That is a rhetorical question, as is the one that preceded it.

Addendum (1/26)

A commenter points out that Elon's gesture was the Bellamy salute.

    The salute in question is more properly called the Bellamy Salute, from 1892, and it may go all the way back to the Romans before that. It was originally used by school children to salute the US Flag. The link below has a photo of that; the photo would make the Leftist’s heads explode. Enjoy.

    Hi Bro Bill
    Well I’ve known about the Bellamy Salute for two or three years, and I found out by reading some responses on the web to some previous Leftist kerfuffle.
    They really never learn.
