Elon Musk's salute is a standard-issue far-right trolling tactic. I call it fascist peekaboo, and explain how it works here.

But it's not working so well this time. I explain how progressives and the press are getting smarter on how to respond.

This reading helps put politics in perspective…

“A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong,

Gives it a superficial appearance of being right,

& raises at 1st a formidable outcry in defense of custom.

But the tumult soon subsides.

Time makes more converts than reason.”

&

“A body of men holding themselves accountable to nobody ought not to be trusted by anybody.”

― Thomas Paine, Common Sense
