Stop it. There was no fucking nazi symbol on the stage at cpac. If you want to take a tiny group of extremists that are not accepted by a group and pretend they represent a group, we can do that the other way also.

The CPAC stage was, indeed, a Nazi symbol. The question is whether it was intentional or not. And the Charlottesville protestors did use that symbol: https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2017/08/12/flags-and-other-symbols-used-far-right-groups-charlottesville https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2017/08/12/flags-and-oth...

  One can always find whatever bullshit one goes looking for. Nobody at CPAC made up a stage out of a nazi symbol. Some people made up a narrative to fit a false conclusion they created and produced in the media.

    So you've got voters for this party that use a symbol. And then later their stage is shaped that way. Why make the assumption that someone is looking for bullshit when this connection exists?

      Again, you're simply quoting liars who make up controversy for a living. The simple geometric shape of a stage isn't a nazi rune. Full stop. You're making shit up.

        I'm not sure what you think is a lie here. A part of the party marches with a flag with that symbol. You can find it in guides to neo-Nazi symbols. Then their stage is shaped like it. It's very important to put the burden of proof on the political party that has actual Nazis in it, not on people pointing to what's a very strong coincidence.

        No, some jackasses who are not "a part of the party" might use some image on some flag that I've never even seen with a rune nobody of any importance had ever heard of since WWII until yesterday. That's the fact of thing. If you want to talk about imagery, let's talk about the Bolshevik imagery incorporated purposely into the groups who ran the recent "summer of love" who were pandered to and supported by people like the current sitting Vice President of the United States and the Speaker of the House. Donald Trump never supported any nazis or supremacists. The Republican Party has never supported nazis or supremacists. In fact it was the Republican Party that killed the KKK and the Republican Party that won the civil war and ended slavery. The Republican Party didn't have a KKK Grand Wizard in the Senate until ten years ago, and didn't run two of his protegés for president. So... Go on making up stories about runes nobody has ever heard of. It sounds like desperation to shift blame for your own beliefs onto other people. the only people who could see a nazi rune in that stage are people who made up their minds that the people who created it must be nazis in spite of all evidence to the contrary. The rest of us over here in sane world don't evaluate obscure nazi symbols nobody has ever heard of for how we can include them in stage layouts. And that's the last I'm going to engage with you on this absurdity.

        If "nobody" had heard of that rune "since WWII", how did it get on that flag at Charlottesville, or in a separate guide to symbols used by neo-Nazis? I'm sorry that you have a political axe to grind, but you're not doing yourself any good by pretending things.
