They cover up the gesture itself because under German law showing it is illegal in most contexts, but Die Zeit’s headline is absolutely unambiguous. And you don’t need to be a German speaker to get the message:

Here's the thing about Trump's win this month: 77,000,000 American voters saw a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist who attempted to stage a coup when he lost an election four years ago, and they voted for him again because he hates all the same people they hate. In other words, 77,000,000 American voters, many of them "Christians", have no functioning moral compass.

And now the charges against their beloved felon-in-chief disappear. It's sickening.

"Well, if you’re just joining us, the nation has delivered an all-night victim impact statement."

"Meanwhile, it’s incredible to think that only a short while ago we thought we’d eradicated measles and Nigel Farage. Both have now been brought back, largely by the same people."

"Farage won in Clacton, a constituency for which he will now have to hold surgeries, presumably by Zoom link from his hot desk in the US presidential colon."

"Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, Republican of Georgia, said the legislation could make it illegal to assert that Jews killed Jesus, punishing Christians for “believing the Gospel.”"

When people show you who they are, believe them.
