I'm going to assume you are not a troll lol.

Its a frame from Indiana Jones. A movie about an American archeology professor exploring places for ancient artifacts.

In the first movie, he is searching for the Holy Grail but is also fighting a bunch of actual Nazis.

The joke here is that Indiana Jones is an actual professor in these movies. In real life, college professors tend to lean politically left.

Meanwhile, hes beating the shit out of a Nazi. Modern day Nazis adore Donald Trump and so obviously lean far right.

So Indiana Jones beating up a Nazi is like a leftie professor beating up and an Alt Right Trump supporter.

Its not funny since I have to explain it now. But on the 0.01% chance you are not a troll, at least now you know

Thanks for explaining. I kind of got that some professor was beating a Nazi but couldn't find a punchline or something to it. So it was just as straightforward as I initially thought. I didn't know about Indiana Jones and the whole backstory behind this scene though.

My dude, you are missing out. Raiders of the Lost Ark and Last Crusade are fantastic. This scene is from Last Crusade.

In the first movie he is searching for The Ark of the Covenant, but otherwise you are correct.

Mondern day Nazis don't like Donald Trump becuase he's very pro Israel.

Fascist ideology has no internal consistency. It only cares about power and money

You are an expert on American nazis?
