Summary
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized Elon Musk after he made a gesture during Trump’s inauguration resembling a Nazi salute.
Musk and his allies dismissed the comparison, calling such accusations exaggerated.
Ocasio-Cortez, however, called the gesture unacceptable, emphasizing America’s history of opposing Nazis and the Confederacy.
She also condemned the Anti-Defamation League for defending Musk, accusing it of losing credibility.
Her comments sparked broader debate on symbols, gestures, and their implications amid Trump’s return to office.
Fucking preach.
I really hope AOC considers a 2028 run for President.
Edit: please fuck off about the uncertainty of 2028 elections, I’m excruciatingly aware, your reminders are not helpful.
Bold of you to assume there will be a 2028 election
Edit: commenter made a good point. It’s foolish to abandon any potential avenue of change, even if it seems like a lost cause
oh alright let’s all just give up then
Good point, thanks for the correction
It’s hilarious that you think you’re getting another election before Vance dies of old age. I hope you’re right of course but I’m pretty sure your future “elections” will be performative. You’re going to have to take that right back.
Part of fighting for it involves planning in case the fight is successful, and that planning includes picking candidates, so my original comment stands.
“pray for peace, prepare for war.” As they say.
