Said it yesterday and I'll say it again:

These anti-quarantine protests are a fash front.

These are fascists, including capitol-N Nazis.

They're out there looking to "liberate" us into the arms of a Trump dictatorship.

Exhibit A: this pic from the PA capitol today. https://twitter.com/gwensnyderPHL/status/1252354466449289217

Check out this closeup.

It doesn't start out so bad, right? 4/20 is fun?

Except, as the next line helpfully points out...

It's about 4/20 being "Hitler's Birthday."

That 88 scribble?

88 = HH.

It's Nazi code for Heil Hitler. https://twitter.com/non_fele/status/1252355332644278273

The biohazard suit is a popular meme with accelerationist terror Telegram Nazis, incidentally.

I didn't want to make any unfounded leaps of judgment, but I think it's pretty fair to say that we're looking at three Nazis at a minimum, all cosplaying a favorite internet joke.

It sure looks to me like we've got a Nazi hiding in plain sight on this one, too.

See the clown sticker "John" is wearing?

There's a very popular Nazi meme invented on 8chan called "the Honkler."

"The Honkler" is the alt-right's Pepe, with a rainbow wig and clown nose. His signature line is "Honk Honk," HH for Heil Hitler.

Nazis use the honkler to symbolize an attitude that the whole world is a Jewish-orchestrated, absurd clown show-- "clownworld."

They put clown makeup and noses on images of "clownworld" figures to suggest their complicity in the supposed secret Jewish conspiracy.

This is just, me taking a quick look around through the Inquirer pictures from today.

This is just playing "Where's Waldo?" what got caught by their staff photographer.

Just scanning through, I see what looks like two more nazis I recognize in the crowd.

And there are more nazis in the crowd posting the protest to Nazi Telegram, too.

Here's Agents of Truth, an antisemitic conspiracy theory channel, sharing footage from Harrisburg.

When they aren't out marching under the MAGA banner in Harrisburg, they're busy talking about how "globalists" (nazi code for "Jews") are trying to create a dystopian New World Order.

And here's Jack Dawkins, another "globalism" conspiracy theorist, sharing live footage he took at the Harrisburg protest today.

Remember what I said about the Heil Hitler Honkler?

The clown pepe?

If you check out the @nowthisnews footage from the event, you'll find he made his own appearance at the event, in the form of this guy's t-shirt.

And yep, if you watch that footage, you see that the Heil Hitler biohazard suit guys are there as a crew.

So that's a confirmed three-Nazi set right there.

And, huh, will you look at that? There's that word "globalist" again.

Meaning "member of a Jewish conspiracy to run the world."

On an Infowars sticker, of course.

I'm sure he didn't mean it that way, surely he's not a proponent of antisemitic conspiracy theo-

Oh.

Anyway.

These are fascists.

This isn't about quarantine, it's about wanting Trump to be "liberated" from every check on his power, including states' rights.

They show up with machine guns and they make signs about how we should "skin" @GovernorTomWolf.

Like the fight about mail-in ballots, this is about installing Trump as a dictator.

If he can't cancel the election, he'll work his base to see COVID as a hoax and in-person elections as essential, defiant revolts against the "conspiracy" to contain the disease.

He'll kill a lot of his own people if he gets those in-person elections, but he only needs their votes this one last time.

After that, they're dispensable.

If he manages to consolidate enough authoritarian power to hold onto the office past 2024, it won't be by the ballot.

All he needs is a base that will refuse to recognize mail-in ballots as legitimate and turn out en masse for the election with the misguided belief that gathering in large crowds during a pandemic is the ultimate act of patriotism.

He just needs once.

That's what this is about, and that's why the capital-N Nazis are showing up.

They want to kill democracy.

They want to end society as we know it.

The Nazis and the cryptofascists aren't going to let the possibility of killing people stop that.

Death is what they get off on.

So just remember, as this "movement" escalates, as the signs about murdering governors multiply, as the militias begin to take the streets for longer and longer stretches:

This isn't about quarantine.

It's about ending democracy.

Don't buy it when they tell you otherwise.
