Republican Party ridiculed after tweeting wrong flag for Fourth of July - Lemmy.world

The GOP Twitter account tweeted, then deleted an image in celebration of U.S. Independence Day that appeared to erroneously feature the Liberian flag.

You say erroneously, I say dog whistle. Slaves were repatriated there. It’s a troll, and not the first time they’ve done this, see CPAC nazi symbol in 2021
I mean, this isn't an uncommon graphic design mistake, there's a whole subreddit for it. In this case it's far more likely to be a dumb mistake than an intentional dogwhistle like that suspiciously Odal rune shaped stage at CPAC may have been.
Why am I not surprised?

I'm OOTL. What dogwhistle stage are we talking about?
CPAC: Hyatt Hotels says stage resembling Nazi rune is 'abhorrent'

A photo of the stage went viral, with thousands of Twitter users comparing its distinctive design to an odal rune

The Guardian
Oof, that's not a great look.
CPAC's stage in 2021 which looked like a Norse rune used by the Nazis.
The CPAC stage was shaped like the Othala rune…which is what?

The CPAC conference stage was shaped identically to an Odal or Othala rune — long used as a Nazi symbol.

The Forward
Yikes. Was it ever confirmed deliberate?
They would never admit to it if it was.
You say that, but these are the same idiots that posted the "we're all domestic terrorists" to a signboard, so you never know...
Not that I know of. The Odal rune is obscure enough to the average person that they have plausible deniability, so unless we find design documents or get a confession it's basically impossible to prove.

No, when they arrived at the venue it was already in place.
