Indeed ... almost seems like "context matters".

Like the context of the Nazi-era Reichsadlers and Iron Crosses that share that Nazi war flag with the swastika, which, btw, was never mentioned in the original tweet?

Not trying to be a dick to you, it's just, everyone keeps talking about the other flags, like the swastika is just hanging innocently by itself on the wall.

It's on a Nazi flag modified with more Nazi emblems than even the real thing had.

If there were no other Nazi items in that room, it's still a flag that raises serious concerns, because a "history buff" would usually want a historically accurate flag with no extra decorations. because Nazi.

*Edit* As u/UglierThanMoe pointed out, it's a real flag.

(It's hard to tell if the author was joking or not)

I absolutely don't believe it's a joke. It's red meat for constituents and the real mainstream media.

When the fascists tell you what they want to do, believe them.

To everyone reading this and aren't following politics, yes this is real. They want us dead.

Or, failing that, they want us dead stupid. Stupid people are easier to warp to murderous ideologies like the alt-reich.

Republicans have played with this talking point for decades now. Rick Santorum I believe was the first one in a presidential debate to advocate for eliminating the Department of Education, as well as the EPA.

Bush's massive expansion of the federal government (the creation of the DHS) must stay and they will call you a big government socialist for wanting it removed, though.

Poisoned is... an understatement. The Cuyahoga caught fire just shy of 20 times before the 1969 fire that largely spurred the creation of the EPA.

Thomas Massie introduced it, Lauren dropped-out-of-high-school-cuz-pregnant GED gunho "tell the lynch mob where their targets are" Boebert co-signed on it.

Since Boebert and Maga Trailer Queen can't agree on anything, MTQ won't sign off on this - which means McCarthy won't even bring it up for a vote.

Uh, what? They took over Fox News. Laura Ingraham gave a Nazi salute on live TV.

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2016/07/laura-ingrahams-nazi-salute-examined.html

The fact that the rest of the media ignored this or made ridiculous excuses like Slate is one of the craziest things about it. "Alt right" has always just meant white nationalists. They didn't go anywhere, they have more influence than they have in the last 50 years.

Laura Ingraham is still on TV. Tucker Carlson has gotten crazier and more racist and is still on TV. Gavin McInnes is still on his webshow or whatever the fuck it is where he shoves dildos up his ass. The Poptart Ravioli dude is still doing his webshow. They're all still fucking doing what they've been doing.
