Even Steven Crowder is like wtf. Btw this woman said America used it. America briefly used in the late 1800s but it was widely seen as problematic starting in the 1930s due to Mussolini and Hitler!
You’re going to hear from people that Elon Musk did the Roman salute here and that’s true, he’s done it before. But that’s NOT exculpatory. The Roman salute was adopted by Mussolini and Italian fascists. It was then adopted by Hitler and the Nazis.
