1. Not too subtle, eh? (n/t)

[shelshaw]

10. No doubt

Clearly not accident

[hlthe2b]

2. Says Malcolm Nance: "I feel strongly both ways. Half Swastika, half Viking Rune stone. Full QAnon."

21. "racial purity"

"...as well as the SS-Rasse- und Siedlungshauptamt, which was responsible for maintaining the racial purity of the SS.[10]"

5. Seig Hiel!

[machoneman]

14. Stephen Miller at work, I have zero doubt! Why not a swastika flag to match?

[LudwigPastorius]

20. The Nazis have rebranded in their push to enter mainstream politics.

The Odal rune, a less-well-known Nazi Germany symbol, will take the place of the swastika on all official uniforms and banners.

...and the Republican Party has apparently fully embraced them.

6. My Magic 8-Ball says...

they will walk it back, "Not a dog whistle, just a coincidence".

[sheshe2]

7. Trump's Party is fricking insane.

That is downright creepy! Whole lot of white male power going on with them.

[Celerity]

8. symbols stolen by the Nazis

Flag with ODAL (with 'feet' ) for " volksdeutsche " in Croatia and th. SS -volunteers roller division Aigner until 1945. The design mimics swastika flag in Nazi Germany .

[Cha]

9. omg... coincidence? For nazi

sympathizers?

[onetexan]

23. No coincidence there, they are the party of white supremacy

As liz cheney has said.

[Cha]

25. It's unreal how we are here..

American Patriots VS Nazi Sympathizers . Except putin & trump got us here.

[onetexan]

26. Results of many years of pandering to the right

The con emboldened them. NRA gave them reason to take up arms. The fearmongering on RW radio, social media &politics of grievance fomented the hate and increased their numbers exponentially.

Frightening this is the state of our country now & we may be on the precipice of losing control if we dont fight like hell. Scares the crap outta me when i think about how close we were to being a full fascist state if the con/GOP had succeeded in their election rigging.

Hi Cha!

[Hela]

11. They're not even trying to hide it any more.

Well, at least we know what we're up against.

[Lonestarblue]

12. Did anyone catch Ted Cruz's lunatic performance at CPAC?

Nicole Wallace played it this afternoon and made a comment about Cruz trying to outdo Kimberly Guilfoyle. He sounded and acted like an absolute idiot. Of course, that’s what we should expect of him. He isn’t good for much but being an absolute ass.

[Ilsa]

13. what are those boxes in the corners?

Are they speakers? Confetti guns?

[scarletwoman]

15. Believe them when they show you who they are.

I find this frightening as hell.

[58Sunliner]

16. Ugly. Thank god his spawn are idiots.

[BobTheSubgenius]

17. These optics are just unbelievable.

I doubt that the rank and file are aware enough of the iconography to make valuations of this and other symbols. But I wonder if it makes some subliminal connections.

[burrowowl]

18. Kick!

[joe_stampingbull]

19. here is the tie to murkan nazis

In November 2016, the leadership of the National Socialist Movement of America announced their intention to replace the Nazi-pattern swastika with the Odal rune on their uniforms and party regalia in an attempt to enter mainstream politics

[Roc2020]

22. the Repubicans are not trying to hide the Facism anymore

they know they can't win with Democracy. At least they can face that truth.

[KewlKat]

24. Will the MSM cover this "coincidence"

I hope someone screams this loud and clear.

[Bluesaph]

27. Marking

[scarytomcat]

28. me too

[DeSmet]

29. Am I alone

in just knowing it is Stephen Miller's hand in this?
