Straw man? I don't think you understood the point I was making...
I don't think YOU understood. You fabricated a scenario that doesn't exist "AOC making a nazi salute", and then claimed that nobody would have said anything about it, therefore it's a double-standard.
You conjured an event out of thin air, and then claimed your imaginary event that never even happened was proof of an existing double-standard.
Now if AOC ever does an Elon and makes a constipated face while smashing her hand to her heart and grunting like a pig while thrusting it straight out in a nazi salute... twice... and nobody says anything... see, then you would have a point.
She could do the exact same thing and nobody would say anything about it. Nobody would consider for a second that she actually meant to do a salute. Why would she? What in her history would make anyone think she is aligned with nazis? What could she hope to accomplish doing such a thing to the type of crowd she would be speaking to? The very idea is preposterous, and for that reason it wouldn't even be considered.
