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?

Oof, that's not a great look.
