Question
It's just a "gesture"?
WASHINGTON — By the time Richard B. Spencer, the leading ideologue of the alt-right movement and the final speaker of the night, rose to address a gathering of his followers on Saturday, the crowd was restless.
In 11 hours of speeches and panel discussions in a federal building named after Ronald Reagan a few blocks from the White House, a succession of speakers had laid out a harsh vision for the future, but had denounced violence and said that Hispanic citizens and black Americans had nothing to fear. Earlier in the day, Spencer himself had urged the group to start acting less like an underground organization and more like the establishment.
But now his tone changed as he began to tell the audience of more than 200 people, mostly young men, what they had been waiting to hear. He railed against Jews and, with a smile, quoted Nazi propaganda in the original German. America, he said, belonged to white people, whom he called the “children of the sun,” a race of conquerors and creators who had been marginalized but now, in the era of President-elect Donald Trump, were “awakening to their own identity.”
As he finished, several audience members had their arm outstretched in a Nazi salute. When Spencer, or perhaps another person standing near him at the front of the room — it was not clear whom — shouted, “Heil the People! Heil Victory,” the room shouted it back.
Nazi salute by spectators watching Trump walking down the Avenue on Inauguration Day in Jan?
HOW Would/SHould the world look at that?
Alt right?....Breitbart?...Bannon?....Trump?
Connect the dots?

Are you suggesting I would be in a brothel or you just don't want to talk about the possibility of Nazi salutes on Pennsylvania Avenue?

Because I've already seen worse than that. Take a gander at this.
They got over it, you can get over it.
