A few years back they made the stage in the shape of an odal rune. They’re not even trying very hard to hide it anymore.
Oh, you mean this CPAC?
That is not an edited photo.
Maybe they mean this CPAC
Wait fuck is that real?
I'm out of the loop, what does that symbol mean? Not sure how I would look it up without a name or something.
It is the runic letter Othala. It is just a letter in the runic alphabet. Beyond being a letter though often runes had an individual meeting or association in the cultures that used them.
It, along with many other symbols were adopted by the Nazis. Now among white power groups it is has a meaning of racial purity. "Keeping the white race pure"
Oh and the picture is real I looked it up.

I can never remember the name of the thing but after digging through some "cpac stage symbol" searches it seems to be called the othala rune or the odal rune.

This headline is misleading. It should read CPAC is a nazi organization. Something about dining with nazis.
Are you telling me the group that used a nazi symbol as the shape of their stage is now openly affiliating themselves with nazis?
Quelle surprise!
This year, however, some attendees and former attendees have expressed frustration with the conference’s stronger association with Trump and his wing of the party.
If I was frustrated that Nazis are co-opting my political party, I'm kicking them out or leaving the party that welcomes them.
Anything less, you're part of a Nazi movement.
Weirdly enough Hitler somewhat co-opted the NAZI party. Riping out any real socialism. Not how that matters here....
Goebels was actually quite put out by Hitler not meeting his socialist dreams, but all was forgiven when he got to propagate massive antisemitism instead
Hey sometimes you have to pivot, it is always good to have backup goals. /s

Just because it needs to be pointed out every time. If they were frustrated by fascists/Nazis co-opting the party. They're 100 years too late.
The father and grandfather of 2 American presidents was implicated. As well as the head of JP Morgan at the time. No one was punished, or called out even. And the history of the incident has largely been completely scrubbed out of existence.

No that can't be.
Conservatives are always telling us how Nazis were actually left-wing... it's in the name, socialists?!
How quickly they forget, once the racist and antisemitic nonsense circulates.
And if anyone is wondering:
- Human rights for Palestinians = not antisemitic
- Nazis at CPAC = 100% antisemitic
But this year, racist conspiracy theorists didn’t meet any perceptible resistance at the conference where Donald Trump has been the keynote speaker since 2017.
At the Young Republican mixer Friday evening, a group of Nazis who openly identified as national socialists mingled with mainstream conservative personalities, including some from Turning Point USA, and discussed so-called “race science” and antisemitic conspiracy theories.
One member of the group, Greg Conte, who attended the deadly 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, said that his group showed up to talk to the media. He said that the group was prepared to be ejected if CPAC organizers were tipped off, but that never happened.
Another, Ryan Sanchez, who was previously part of the Nazi “Rise Above Movement,” took photos and videos of himself at the conference with an official badge and touted associations with Fuentes.
Other attendees in Sanchez’s company openly used the N-word.
republiQans: this is you
How do you spread Nazi rhetoric at CPAC? Sell merch? Because one would think market saturation would already be at 100% for that sort of ideology at an event like that.

I heard Paul Gosar shaves his butthole once a year in preparation for this mixer.
It’s a gay mixer for young virile Nazi men and politicians
In other news:
Skiers mingle openly at ski resort.
Golfers mingle openly at country club.
Trekkies mingle openly at ComicCon
So there's definitely a Zionist wing of the party. What's gonna happen when they come into contact with the Nazi wing of the party?
A lot of the support of Israel is not because they like Jews but rather because many evangelicals believe supporting them will hasten the apocalypse.
A 2017 LifeWay poll conducted in United States found that 80% of evangelical Christians believed that the creation of Israel in 1948 was a fulfillment of biblical prophecy that would bring about Christ's return and more than 50% of Evangelical Christians believed that they support Israel because it is important for fulfilling the prophecy.

Also, shipping the Jews off to Israel means they're away from here. Zionism could be restated as "Jewish removal."

Goddamn we are a bonkers species. Really gives credence to the idea of memetic evolution, at least to me
This is the increasingly stupid part. The fuck are they gonna do when Christ gets back? He's a straight up communist, they have no use for him. Hmm... I wonder.
They imagine him as supply side Jesus, and they don't really care about accuracy. Evangelical leaders say they are rejecting the teachings of Jesus from the source material, calling it, "weak," and, "liberal."
It seems like a lot of Nazis tend to make common cause with Zionists. Remember that the first plan the Nazis had was to deport all the Jews, so having them all in one place is fine by them.
Ethno-nationalists gonna ethno-nationalist
A lot of racists don't think they're racist because they don't hate "others", they just think they belong in their own place. They're angry that the "others" are where they are.
They're still raging pieces of shit. I'm just sharing some of their thoughts. Being a white drunk in Texas gives me the opportunity to hear all kinds of dumb shit.

They all set aside their differences and appreciate their true goals of enriching themselves through being fascist bootlickers

The Zionist wing of the Republican party doesn't care at all about Jews. They're Christian fundamentalists who believe that the Jews need to control the holy land so that Jesus can come back and end the world. They only want the Jews in Israel long enough to fulfill that purpose, then they want them to be wiped out and go to hell.

Does anyone remember this?
House GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y. — who recently went viral for engaging in a contentious exchange with university presidents at a congressional hearing on antisemitism — on Saturday praised the resignation of University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill.
"One down. Two to go," Stefanik wrote on X. "This is only the very beginning of addressing the pervasive rot of antisemitism that has destroyed the most ‘prestigious’ higher education institutions in America."
So where the f**k is she now, during CPAC? Is she hiding out or something?
Conservatives and Republicans are synonymous with Russians and Nazis. The CPAC convention is the indisputable proof.
Just republican shit.
So how long until they just go back to being outright silver shirts
They're there. This is that.
