This was one of the signs at the Re-open Illinois event today. She assured those that she was not a Nazi, and stated, I have Jewish friends. Thank you for representing yourself and your movement for what it is.

Good grief, they're not hiding a thing. Trump's "very good people" on display.
Love the flag mask, btw. Way to desecrate it, you Nazi fuck.

(13,225 posts)Pretty sick protest sign, and someone should tell her that if she doesn't want to be labeled a Nazi, she shouldn't use a Nazi slogan (in the original German, no less!) on her protest sign.
Who would want to employ or do business with that woman besides her fellow Nazis?

(54,027 posts)On first look, I would just assume that slogan is being used either ironically or as a troll against the protesters.
Am I erroneously assuming historical awareness?

(43,416 posts)This is all happening in plain sight, for the country to see. A darkness is coming if this path is continued to be trod upon. I am afraid the balancing mechanisms were always far more fragile than most cared to think about. Normalcy bias has doomed many a nation, many a state, many a tribe, many an empire down through the spirals of human history.
