I'm calling it now. The MAGAs are all anxiously looking at each other, waiting to see what the blowback will be. When there inevitably is no real consequence or denouncement for elmo, the nazi salute will start to creep into the mainstream for them. About 85% will claim it's just a gag to trigger the libs, but about 15% will be dead fuckin serious.
At this point it doesn't even matter whether he actually meant to do it, or if it was some stupendously awkward accident--the intent is pretty much irrelevant, all that matters is that the chuds know you have permission from the GOP to walk onto the stage in front of the world, give a full mask-off double Hitler, and you'll be fine.
The 85/15 ratio will slowly shift too.
