Tldr: weirdos are saying she was making "devil horns."

Not so fun playing with hyper-religious theofascists, after all...?

Oh I'm weirdly surprised this wasn't just a new dogwhistle I'd not heard of

Devil horns, Moloch ears, rock ‘n’ roll, hook ‘em horns, or sign language? Find out next time on “What Will Christians Assume Next?”

Accusing the left of being Satanist for any body sign = good Accusing the right of being Satanist for any body sign = vile

I'm no longer religious, but the similarities between him and the prophesied Antichrist are so fucking uncanny it's scary.

I read a good article explaining all the weird coincidences a couple months ago but it seems to have gotten buried under AI articles and I can no longer find it.

Wow that has gotten considerably longer since the last time I looked... Love that it's even still updated with small bits. Creepy as well.

Accusing Satanists of doing ASL for any body sign = probably inaccurate unless they're having a deaf conversation

Thought it was pretty clear, thumb out=ILY, thumb in=rock out

But regardless of interpretation, fuck maga

The pinky up by itself is "I". Index and thumb out by themselves is "L", Pinky and thumb by themselves is "Y".

So that hand shape is just the combination of the 3 letters together for ILY=I love you. It's probably the most generally well-known ASL sign.

I'm willing to accept the ILY in ASL explanation for her hand gesture, but I wonder where she'd know it from. The devil horns thing seems pretty silly.

How many Americans have been celebrated like this? It feels so over the top for a political public figure.

I’ll buy it. ILY is taught as a gesture to lots of kids these days. Every kid I know knows it.

Yeah, and he was barely "public". Reaction from most people I know IRL - "Charlie who?"

“Charlie who?”

More than that, the response I've gotten is "That asshole? Why bother?!

This garbage has been going on since the satanic panic. Britain should have kept their crazy puritans.

They left for the Colonies because they were unwelcome in Britain. A lot of them had previously been in exile in the Low Countries and had been kicked out of there too.

I would have more respect for her if she was Satanist.

Jk, stay in your lane, lady.
