The only thing is the stage, and that was likely a dumb oversight. The others are silly. A T-shirt with a similar layout. Ordinary numbers that are suddenly taboo. Losers marching decades ago with common words that are, in themselves, benign. They can convey bigotry, AND they can convey patriotism.

Weird how it keeps happening, though, right? Like when DHS posts a tweet about American manifest destiny that's exactly 14 words and has two capital Hs in the sentence over the top of a painting depicting white colonizers running non-white natives off and into the distance?

BTW, the "America First" slogan was specifically used in the same way that Trump uses it. And since Trump has never had an original slogan, it's clear where he got this one from. Even "MAGA" is taken from Reagan.
