The capital letters imply “1488” and the post is 14 words long, both of which are well-known nazi dog whistles.

    HH alone is already a significant dog whistle. It’s basically 88, but already one step closer to it’s intended meaning. As dog whistle messages go, this one is very blatant. I wonder what hidden symbolism they put in that image, there’s bound to be more there. NVM that last bit, it’s a painting about white supremacy, but there probably won’t be hidden fascist messages because the painting is older than fascism as a political movement.

    Homeland Security was already sending out the occasional dog whistle during Trump’s first term. Back then there was still doubt as to whether it was accidental or intentional, but now we know that the fascist take over of that organization started back then, which means that those old dog whistle messages were most likely intentional and an invite to other fascists to come join up. Which they did.

    Which also explains how it was that ICE could immediately embrace the new status of being Trump’s brown shirts, without any significant protest from inside the organization: unlike other government departments, they didn’t need to do internal purges since the fascist take over was already complete at the start of Trump’s 2nd term. This should be a warning to other countries where politicians are considering of giving fascists even one iota of power.
