Isn’t that 1884? Seems like a bit of a stretch, but a triumphalist painting complete with Indians fleeing into shadow from the advancing white people (a heritage to be proud of, apparently) is definitely in poor taste at best.
Sure, but seems about right given the intelligence of your typical white supremacist. I think the number of words, capital H, A and Ds, content of the post, posting organization, and political context make a Nazi dogwhistle the Occam’s razor-approved best explanation.
The year 1884 is significant as it marks the birth of Anton Drexler, a German far-right politician who founded the German Workers’ Party, which later became the Nazi Party. Drexler played a crucial role in the early development of Nazi ideology and mentored Adolf Hitler.

Huh, that could be it:

Yeah,
I think we can safely conclude that Homeland Security are deliberately sending Nazi dogwhistles on their social media.
