Right?

I don't care if I'm openly threatened or covertly threatened. I care if I'm threatened.

I am not in any more danger because he did that. I would have hoped that I'm in less danger, because now it's out in the open... but it was out in the open before. Like I said, I could put a whole thread together of people doing nazi salutes at GOP and alt-right events over the past 8 years. I could post videos of people yelling "Seig Heil" at Trump's first inauguration celebration. I could remind people (again) that the alt-right was founded by an open white supremacist that wants to ethnically cleanse the United States and turn it into a whites only ethnostate.

Whether or not the people that do this make literal nazi salutes or not, is inconsequential relative to the fact that they are doing all this, and people are OK with it.

Our need to have cartoonishly obvious nazis as the bad guys, before we recognize what's going on, is a big part of the reason that we're in this mess.
