I am writing this question because Musk did a Nazi salute, and after asking lemmy about it, and seeing the side by side video, and his seemingly mild response to people notixing it, I belive it was a Nazi salute.
So the “now what?” is in response to what seems like a tepid reaction from society.
Will Ameeica become even more unsafe for even more minorities?
Are people organizing or have they lost hope? should there be an organized boycott on Teslas or companies that spend money on twitter? Would it even matter?
Is this unstoppable and it actually makes more sense to flee?
The “tepid” reaction is because there’s zero surprise here. A giant swath of the maga base is made up of white supremacists, and I don’t think there’s even debate about that. Lots of people voted for Trump specifically because he said he’d do mass deportations, get rid of LGBTQ protections, etc. We’ve literally been screaming that people were voting for a bunch of Nazis. So now, on inauguration day, someone gets up and does a Nazi salute - what do you want us to say?
And as for “now what,” the best we can do is fight where we can and make sure the mid terms are different, though after this last election my hopes are low. People knew what they were voting for, and he didn’t win by cheating. It’s gross, but that’s where we are.
