The mainstream press failed to accurately describe the hand gesture that Elon Musk made twice at Trump’s Inauguration Day rally, setting a troubling precedent for the second Trump era.

Why was this comment deleted?

" Because they're nazis. Americans were nazis for a long time, they just came out of the closet. "

How is this even a controversial statement??? Lol

Seriously. This election has basically validated every single criticism the left has levied against the United States since Reagan and then some.

I didn’t remove the comment, an admin did. I’m guessing because it is a generalization of all Americans. I do understand the anger though.

Which admin would that be?

[–] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world -1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Modlog says it was for a ban evasion from the instance.

I can see that, thanks, but that's not what I asked..

[–] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world -1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That is all the information I have.

[–] ShareMySims@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Ok, thanks.

Though you did mention that an admin removed it, how can you tell?

[–] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I assumed an admin because they were banned from the instance, moderators can’t do that.

Ah, that makes sense, thanks! 😊
