The CPAC Runic Stage Conspiracy

You could make a point of the Army's marksmen ship medal.
It is a a cross and looks a lot like something used by germans in ww1 and ww2

I've seen people try to claim the iron cross is a Nazi symbol, but it not only predates the Nazis by far, it's still in use by Germany. Of course, the type of people who claim the iron cross is a Nazi symbol also tend to think Germans = Nazis, so...

They hired a company ran by democrats to design the stage.

The stage happens to end up being the same shape as a Nazi symbol.

The democrats then go and use this to attack the GOP.

I'm convinced this was intentional, just so they could try to use it as an attack on the GOP.

There is always room for coincidence, but this adds up too perfectly for me to think as much.

I understand, I think what you say is possible. If this stage was deliberately designed to be like a Nazi symbol, it was done by a leftist.

Instead of proving to people that a leftist did it, we would be far better off just acting like rational people and not going into histrionics because something looks like a symbol the Nazis once used. Going insane over a symbol the Nazis used gives trouble making trolls way too much power.

They'll Probably ban the American Eagle next because it's too close to the Imperial Eagle or some crap.

Then because they are never satisfied they'll ban the 'spread eagle' as well.

The peace symbol is the Nazi death rune, which is the upside down life rune, Algiz. The Hagall rune, used by the Nazis to mean heil/hail is very much like the Chaos symbol in Moorecock’s writings and Warhammer. The eagle is used by everybody all over the world, including the US government. Tyr rune was used by the Nazis and looks like an up pointing arrow, I bet numerous groups use that. The Sig rune looks like a stylized lighting bolt and is all over the place too. The Iron Cross and similar looking variants have been used by Christians organizations for centuries. The Swastika has been used all over the world too, long before the Nazis. The All of these symbols and many others predate the Nazis by over a thousand years, maybe much longer.

When are we going to get upset over seeing symbols used by leftists?

I am a bit surprised that they having come after the fasces decorating several government chambers, such as the house rostrum.
