88
So on the TPUSA website these lightning bolts are obviously a dog whistle, right? To a much lesser extent, worth noting the 88 and HH in the dates as well (hexbear.net)

Am I tweaking?

For those who couldn’t see what I was referring to about the dates: I know this one is a stretch, but alongside the lightning bolts that TPUSA doesn’t use literally anywhere else or have any campaign/slogan relevance, it’s suspect. Definitely minor in comparison but worth noting given the much more blatant surrounding context

i still don't see it. is "18th" a nazi dogwhistle now?

At least in Germany, it is. 18 stands for A. H., you can guess who’s initials this refers to.
