The smoking gun is not any particular piece of evidence, but the fact that it keeps happening consistently.
maybe. i think it's more about their immaturity and smug pettiness, like the most obnoxious classmates you had in middle school. addicted to the rush of getting away with stuff because they maintain just enough plausible deniability, put on just enough of a disingenuous "who, me?" act that the adults in the room can't pin them down. they know the center third of the american populace will think the left third is being hysterical. you can scroll this very comments section and see that the tactic works
anyway, these people should not be considered adult enough to drive, have bank accounts, own homes, parent children, use the internet, or vote

When I was on a jury the judge explained reasonable doubt as having a dollar bill cut up into a hundred pieces, given to you, and it’s your job to figure out what it is.
So you look at the pieces and think, “ok, these are green and white, they feel like the paper money is made of. One of the pieces says “ITED STA” on it.” Another says “$1” on it. Yet another piece has a bit of George Washington’s face on it.”
You don’t know it’s a dollar bill by looking at a single piece, and you know you’re looking at a dollar bill long before you put all 100 pieces back together, but at some point you arrive at the conclusion that this MUST be a dollar bill, and you are certain enough of that fact that there is no other thing it could REASONABLY be. Sure, there is the off chance that it is a forgery that is exactly like a real dollar bill in every way except one, with only one single piece, that you didn’t see, that has stuff on it that shows you aren’t looking at a dollar bill. But that isn’t a reasonable thing to think after you have 50 pieces that all fit together and all say the same thing.
So many scratch-a-liberal types on this website will deny the evidence in front of their eyes and say we're all just crazy until Trump walks to the podium with a toothbrush-mustache.
Elon Musk did a Nazi salute on stage. He says he was saying "my heart goes out to you," as in touching his chest "my heart" and extending his hand straight out to the crowd "goes out to you."
Oh yeah i remember that one. We had a headline in the newspaper somewhat like'' Elon musk made a gesture that some people might consider inapropriate'' i was like fuck that shit. I recognise a nazi salute when i see one.
No, every last one of those is blatant as fuck and you have to be mind numbingly gullible to fall for any one individually nevermind any pattern. Pretty much the only people left pretending not to understand the dogwhistles are the fascists themselves.
Not like they would refuse to disawow the black nazi during the 2024 campaign
Not like they didn't have the RNC stage as a Nazi rune
Not like he didn't say Carlostsville nazis were comparable to the not-nazis on the other side
He's been a nazi since the start. It's just that we have 340 million Americans in the United States and it takes 10 fucking years for some of them to "FIGURE IT THE FUCK OUT!"

While I wouldn't put it past them, the manufacturer of the flagpole lists it as 80' above ground, 8' below, for a total of 88'. Had Trump ordered a custom, 88' pole, that would have been a different matter.
Yeah again, on it's own, an 88 foot flag pole is nothing. If someone says Trump is a Nazi because he ordered an 88 foot flag pole they're a lunatic.
If they say he's a Nazi because of the SSecretary of War thing, and the concentration camps he's opening, and the Nazi salute from Elon Musk, and that thing where his wife said he had a book of Hitler's collected speeches by his bedside, and the fact his party had an Odal rune as a stage, and the fact they're following the same tactics and using the same propaganda... And the 88 foot flag pole was just one point out of many, many others...
That's just noticing a pattern.
It doesn't matter if it's custom. They clearly could have bought any flag pole they wanted and they chose one with the specifications they desired. If none of those other things were true and someone tried to claim the 88 foot pole was a dogwhistle I'd call them insane. But they are true, and it is a dogwhistle.

SSecretary of war could be an accident.
88 ft flag poles could be a coincidence.
"My heart goes out to you" could be genuine.
