TokenBoomer,

You say erroneously, I say dog whistle. Slaves were repatriated there. It’s a troll, and not the first time they’ve done this, see CPAC nazi symbol in 2021

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by stupidity. They aren’t that smart and they are very stupid.

    I’m not underestimating evil. I’m estimating intelligence. And they aren’t that intelligent or crafty. Their evil is far more banal.

    Unaware7013,

    m not underestimating evil. I’m estimating intelligence. And they aren’t that intelligent or crafty.

    This is textbook underestimating evil, friend. Don't confuse the stupid act they put on for their constituents with their actual intelligence.

    These assholes are ivy league educated and have (successfully) shaped the republican party under them to engender the support of the dumbest among us and eliminate just about every trace of coherent thoughts. But just because that's their base doesn't mean the leadership is just as dumb.

    Granted, you have real idiots like Ms Bowling Alley Flasher or I Can't Believe it's not Jewish Space Lasers, but a lot of the leadership is moral-less bottom feeders desperate for power and willing to sell away the country and our democracy for it.

    Say what you will about the idiots running the republican party, but those fuckers got shit done. Here's hoping the democratic party can take a page from their book and finally get their shit together, but I won't hold my breath.

    I mean, this isn't an uncommon graphic design mistake, there's a whole subreddit for it. In this case it's far more likely to be a dumb mistake than an intentional dogwhistle like that suspiciously Odal rune shaped stage at CPAC may have been.

    BlondieBuff,

    I'm OOTL. What dogwhistle stage are we talking about?

    kbity,

    CPAC's stage in 2021 which looked like a Norse rune used by the Nazis.

    BlondieBuff,

    Yikes. Was it ever confirmed deliberate?

    kbity,

    Not that I know of. The Odal rune is obscure enough to the average person that they have plausible deniability, so unless we find design documents or get a confession it's basically impossible to prove.

    They would never admit to it if it was.

    Unaware7013,

    You say that, but these are the same idiots that posted the "we're all domestic terrorists" to a signboard, so you never know...

    See, to me, that is far less crafty and far more stupid. If this was an attempt to troll with a slavery dog whistle, that’s far more subtle and they aren’t subtle.

    PM_me_your_vagina_thanks,
    BlondieBuff,

    Oof, that's not a great look.

    GiddyGap,

    Aside from the gaffe, I really hate how Republican extremists have hijacked the American flag for their weird aganda. Time to take it back.

    xc2215x,

    Pretty funny from a side who talks about how patriotic they are.

    moistclump,

    For anyone else that didn’t necessarily want to scroll through the article but was wondering how far off the flag is:

    miraclerandy,

    The new marketing grad running their twitter must be trolling them. I can’t think of any other reason and I don’t want to believe people are that dumb/lazy.

    TokenBoomer,

    At some ambiguous point, stupidity becomes malice; hence the banality of evil. That was my point. They are displaying what they are. Stop giving them the benefit of the doubt. Or, will you continue to question their intentions until the end?

    taanegl,

    Bro, do you even Murrica? Smh.

    Bang, bang, eagle swoosh.

    Hazdaz,

    Remember folks, these people like to (falsely) portray themselves as the patriotic party.

    And the general public just eats that shit up.

    YouShutYoMouf,

    They’re just posers. It’s reminiscent of when the former guy told Liberty University students to open their bibles to “two Corinthians”.

    Hazdaz,

    They are far worse than posers - they are straight-up traitors.

    xptiger,

    Is that propaganda a mindless tweet?

    @Rhoeri@lemmy.world avatar

    Is there anything that isn’t embarrassing about those clowns?

    BurnTheRight,

    I want you to think of the absolute dumbest, most ignorant and mentally lazy people you have ever met in your life and ask yourself which party they most likely vote for.

    Conservatism is a plague of aggressive idiocy backed by violence and rage. It always has been.

    What a bunch of incompetent degenerates… I mean “patriots”.

    Kill-billies!

    Arin,

    Flying confederate flags and Trump flags all the time they forgot what the USA flag looks like

    gentleman,

    @L4s stupid and incompetent, or evil, or both

    MindfuckRocketship,

    The party of idiocracy and authoritarian traitors.
