And of course during the next primary: ‘we have to rally around 90% hitler to stand a chance against 100% hitler. 0% hitler is just too radical to win the general election. If anything we need more hitler to win over the centrists’

If it was intentional I don’t think he would choose this venue. Trump has gotta be so pissed at him for stealing the media spotlight and making him look bad.

Fundamentally I don’t think he thinks of himself as a neo-nazi whether or not he functionally is one. And I don’t think he’s bold enough for a dog whistle this blatant even if he does.

He did put on a weird stank face when he did it. He thought he was doing something but I don’t think he was aiming for nazi salute. He’s happy to trigger the libs over it but I think in the moment it was somewhere between the weird jump he did on stage and the ketamine putting enough holes in his brain that he thought this was a normal ‘my heart goes out to you all’ gesture.
