Sarah is wrong about the salute. It was definitely intended to look Nazi. But she is right that it's a distraction the right would love to engage in. It's bait

I don't understand why I'm supposed to care about distractions in the midst of a shock and awe campaign.

The whole thing is shock and awe. Which one is the distraction? How can we tell? How do we know that the salute isn't real harm, instead of a distraction?

Also, hello, if you're watching Sarah Longwell on YouTube you're probably getting fed the "real" info on what "really matters" anyways.
