Oh, Consuela, I’m sorry. That is a lot of badness
You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

Ugh so sorry Suela. That sounds super shitty. Good luck.
My father was trying to tell me my sister was overreacting by calling Elon’s salute what it was. I asked why the f he thought I’d agree with him and not her. Also she’s the one who feeds him so he might wanna keep his mouth shut.

Oh man meara.
I see that "he's autistic" is somehow being used as an excuse for him being a Nazi. Which I don't understand why that would be an excuse but any straws to grasp at rather than admit what he is .

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Which I don't understand why that would be an excuse
I think the flimsy excuse goes "he's autistic and therefore clueless about how to express emotions; he was just raising his arm in excitement, not making a Nazi salute." Which is 100% bullshit. Autistic people know what a Nazi salute is. The explanation for Elon's fascist display is that a person can be both autistic and a fucking Nazi.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Plus, he did it twice, making it a whole lot less likely he did it by accident.
Plus, you know, this.

Weren't his grandparents Nazis? I guess those are the traditional values he wants a return to.

I’m sure the OPM folks I work with are freaking about the return to work bullshit. They are all over the country working from home!

I would hope the people who aren't physically close to the office would fall under the "exemptions deemed necessary," but that would be logical, and logic won't be driving the train for about another 1,458 days.

He backed the far right German party . So he is a Nazis
The other thing about Elon and the autistic BS is I see people saying "I'm a formally diagnosed Autistic person and I know it's wrong". It's the formally diagnosed part that just irks me . Just say autistic and don't qualify it
Dad got snow in his yard . There is snow at the beach but no pictures of that since he wasn't down there (thankfully). He said this is the most he has since since 1958
