To quote the top answer on that questions:
> To claim like the campaign that this would be the symbol, or even a really common one – in the US – seems to not have been true. This changed obviously in a reverse-Streisand now.
- Alupis 6y agoThat same answer goes on to show all of the imagery dating back to WWII using the red triangle. Plus images of modern Antifa paraphernalia including T-Shirts, Stickers and more that include that symbol. Seems, to me, the upside down red triangle is definitely a symbol of Antifa, although perhaps not the most commonly used symbol in the US. Regardless, the claim that the Trump campaign picked an obvious Nazi symbol just to make Antifa look bad seems very clearly garbage. I, as a sample of one, have never seen that symbol used in a Nazi context before, but that's just me.

Explain why you think that the Trump campaign's adoption of the symbol the Nazis used to brand and kill political prisoners somehow makes antifa look bad?
- Fjolsvith 6y agoIt wasn't about making antifa look bad. It was about showing people the double-standard that social media has. Its about waking people up.
