It's almost like it's a perfect distraction for an easily angered Left. Anything to help deflect from the exec orders and pardons and damned if it doesn't work painfully well.
With the added bonus of making the Left sound hysterical so as to make persuadable centrist/moderates less likely to listen when there are real actual harms.
Dude played us like a fiddle.
Right, let's distract from Nazis in the Whitehouse by having a Nazi in the Whitehouse do a Nazi salute.
Did you notice how more than half of voters voted for trump?
Mainstream America doesn't agree with us on the fascist accusations. Screaming about things with which the majority of voters disagree with us on isn't a recipe for success and makes them less likely to believe us in future.
A wrong answer is not a meaningless one.
Whether or not people are duped into believing something wrong doesn't make it more right.
It's still wrong, it's still a lie, it's still incorrect.
The truth of our world will always find its way back to the light, because the people who strive for truth have a will and ambition like no other, regardless of whether they're wrong at the moment. A few may keep themselves in perpetual darkness, but they know in their heart of hearts that reality. It's why they so fervently clutch for the phantom of a truth before pulling a Luigi.
