Thanks to the people who pointed that out here. I'd skimmed a lot of the replies on Twitter but hadn't seen any about this being an old photo.
I'm editing rather than self-deleting to warn others about this.

A Pennsylvania fair vendor, who turned out to be a registered sex offender, was booted from the event after visitors complained that he was selling Nazi flags.
Visitors to the Bloomsburg Fair, which started Saturday, posted photos of the vendor's flags on the fair's Facebook page. The photos showed a red-and-white flag with a black swastika draped from one side of a booth and a flag endorsing Donald Trump and declaring "Make America Great Again" on the other side.
The fair's president, Paul Reichart, said he became aware of the issue Monday morning. Officials removed theNazi flags for sale and initially let the vendor, Lawrence Betsinger, continue to operate.

(5,125 posts)They ARE like this and bad enough, but that kind of item being passed out as current is more their tactics than ours.
We don't have to make shit up about them.
They are burying themselves in it daily.

(115,667 posts)Just out of curiosity, since the MAGAts often call Democrats and Biden in particular Communists. Has anyone ever seen Communist iconography at a Biden rally, or a rally for other Democrats? Flags with the hammer and sickle, for example?
