Brittany Page: AOC On Elon's Salute: In This Country, We Hate Nazis!

"Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez discusses the Elon Musk Nazi salute controversy." 

Source:David Pakman Show- you would think U.S. Representative Alexandria O. Cortez (Democratic Socialist, Bronx, New York) would have better things to do with her taxpayer funded time, then to talk about MAGA troller Elon Musk. But that's me.

Did Elon Musk do the Nazi salute the other day? Of course he did. It doesn't take 20/20 vision to see that. I'm not sure you even need to be sane and sober to see and remember that. You just have to be familiar with German history and American history up to the point that you know what Nazism is and who Adolf Hitler was. So I guess that would cancel out a lot of Americans based on this country's ignorance when it comes to American and German history. 

That's not the point here. This is not my point, anyway. I'm not going to spend 1 of my 2 days this week on The New Democrat, debating whether Elon Musk did the Nazi salute or not. Debating facts is like jumping into an ocean over and over thinking this is the time you won't get wet. My point is what was Elon Musk's point in doing this. I'm a German-American myself, seeing the Nazi salute is perhaps more disgusting for me personally and the German community in America and Germany, that for any other ethic group in America, other than perhaps Jewish-Americans for obvious reasons. But that's not my point either. 

My point is why Musk did this. Elon Musk is essentially an oligarch without a country, who is loyal to no one other than himself and his company. If you are familiar with the film The Terminal from 2004... Musk is like the Viktor Navorksi character, but with a helluva lot more money. And because of this and the fact that Musk doesn't care about anyone else, other then himself and his company, that he's basically just the right-wing version of the political hipster (which is what MAGA Bros are) he's a professional troller who just pisses off people intentionally for the pure pleasure of doing that and to get them to freak out about it, about what he did and said and get the left-wing whether it's Representative Alexandria O. Cortez, or Brittany Page, to spend part of their days talking about how horrible and disgusting Elon Musk or whoever their current MAGA target is. 

During the 2024 presidential campaign, there was talk about how easy it was to bait Donald Trump. That every time someone would criticize him about anything from his orange skin spray, to his diet, how much debt he's in, how mush money he's lost since he was President the 1st time, etc, that DJT would automatically take the bait like a fish who hasn't eaten in days. If you are familiar with the debate he had with Vice President Kamala Harris, she baited him over and over and he fell for it over and over in that debate, completely throwing him off his game and making the whole debate about what people don't like about him, even people who voted for him. 

But guess what, Donald Trump is not the only political fish on a suicide mission, or who who looks like a political fish on a suicide mission. Every time whether it's either Elon Musk or someone other right-wing, MAGA troller, does something to piss off this minority group or that one, you have some left-wing U.S. Representative, whether it's Alex Cortez or some other wannabe Squad member, or some social media commentator or blogger take time from their day talking about how disgusting it was for the MAGA troller of the day to do or say what they did. And doing exactly what that MAGA trollers wants them to do which is give them attention, get them more followers, and raise money for them. 

As my colleague Ederik Schneider said about mainstream media and the opposition as far as how they react to everything bad that Donald Trump says and does last week on The New Democrat: 

"So what Mr. Trump does is knowing that he has a political base that sees him as God and therefor would never fault him for anything, regardless of the facts and evidence him and the stronger the facts and evidence against him, the more loyal MAGA to him... he simply takes advantage of that and lies his head off whenever he thinks it would benefit him. Knowing that the Democrats and the mainstream media will freak out about it. Which keeps him in the news and drives up his fundraising numbers. 

So my advice for Democrats and the mainstream media, is not look like a school of fish on an underwater suicide mission. When Donald Trump says something crazy like we should invade a NATO ally, whether it's Greenland or anyone else, don't take the bait and ignore him. It's when he does something crazy, irresponsible, illegal, and constitutional things, that's when the Democrats and the mainstream media need to be prepared to act." 

From The New Democrat

Whether you are 1 of the broadcast network news divisions like NBC News, or from 1 of the major national newspapers like The Washington Post or The New York Times, or a left-wing Democrat... "you don't have to act like a school of fish on a suicide mission" every time Donald Trump or 1 of his MAGA trollers does or says something that's disgusting. Every time they react to MAGA trolling, MAGA gains more followers and raises money off of how the opposition reacts to him. It's what Donald Trump and his administration does and what they try to do the next 4 years, especially the 1st 2, that good Americans of all backgrounds need to be concerned with. Not what he and his trollers say.
