In Trump's America, swastikas are now just a little joke among friends

Ohio Little Caesars delivers pizza with pepperoni swastika

An Ohio couple ordered a pizza and was horrified to open the box to find its pepperoni arranged as a swastika, according to a report.

Jason Laska said he had picked up the pie Saturday night from a Little Caesars shop in Brook Park and brought it home, WJW-TV reported.
...
The couple called the pizza joint, which had just closed, to complain and received a response the following day from the manager.

“[The employees] told him that it was supposed to be an internal joke that they were playing on each other and the other employee, and the pizza was never intended to go out,” Laska said.

The manager told them that employees involved were let go, but the couple said they never plan to return to the store.
...
Little Caesars confirmed in a statement that the chain fired the employees involved in the offensive incident.

To begin with the manager handled it appropriately. Secondly, the franchise holder probably wasn't there. It's probably one of many shops he has.

Our biggest mistake was thinking the VAST majority of Americans would shun Hitler and his ideology.

We were wrong.

They may feel emboldened to indulge their impulses to act out, but I believe they’re just dumbasses at heart.
