I go see what the fascists are saying directly in their safe spaces once and awhile instead of hearing about it 2nd+ hand. Do not recommend.
To be more specific: The sanitized idea in their non-verbatim words (I think this was in the lead up to the first Trump campaign?) was to see if “leftists” would let them ruin an already long established funny hand gesture to the point anyone who wasn’t white nationalist would stop doing it out of fear.
Then alt right grifters picked it up and it kinda worked…if you let them have that win.

I thought it was an upside down ok symbol, not the regular one?
