What would the Nazi version of an odal rune look like in their campaigns to enter the halls of US government?

The CPAC 2021 event gives an obvious answer by creating a main stage in the shape of one:

securityboulevard.com/2021/02/cpac-2…
Way back in 2014 this kind of thing used to be a huge problem. A London retailer was forced to apologize and recall a jacket that “inadvertently” displayed the Nazi odal.
However, CPAC specifically chose the very distinct Nazi odal as their platform, which cannot be confused with any other time or affiliation other than Hitler. CPAC went out of their way to use the exact symbol banned in Germany
Nazis love to play dumb and lie about their intentions and meaning, forcing their targets to waste time trying to stop the “permanent improvisation” of tyranny. A toddler-like complete lack of responsibility for actions is a defining characteristic of Nazism

Too horrifying and important for paywall

McConnell’s security detail rushed past and into the chamber. The adviser began walking toward the Rotunda and came face to face with a U.S. Capitol Police officer sprinting in the opposite direction. The two made eye contact and the officer forced out a single word: “Run!”
2/
The screaming and shouting soon seemed right outside. Only then, a text alert from Capitol police blared on every phone in the room: “Due to security threat inside: immediately, move inside your office, take emergency equipment, lock the doors, take shelter.”

The problem with devotion to a prophet of falsehoods is that reality eventually intrudes.

Some Americans have traveled a path to radicalization that reminds current and former U.S. national security officials of the indoctrination of Islamist militants.
adherents in both cases were drawn to an ideology that emphasizes a loss in control or status. “We had this glorious past and it got screwed up and now we need to do something about it” What makes such movements turn violent is the additional belief that some other entity —

nationwide survey showing a striking desire for strong authoritarian leadership among Republican voters.

They also find shockingly high levels of anti-democratic beliefs and prejudicial attitudes among Trump backers

And regardless of what happens in 2020 Trump supporters will be a potent pro-authoritarian voting bloc in the years to come.
The authors define authoritarianism as what happens “when followers submit too much to the authorities in their lives.” They measure it using a tool Altemeyer developed in the early 1980s, called the right-wing authoritarian (RWA) scale.

Obama feared that if he took tough countermeasures against Moscow’s cyberwarriors it might “prompt the Russians to recoil or to step up their election interference campaign making matters worse.” Obama was cautious to the point of being intimidated it seem

But Brennan, who shied at the idea that the CIA’s job was “stealing secrets,” assumed an increasingly large role in the government’s killing machine. While he was Obama’s homeland security adviser from January 2009 to December 2015, he writes, Obama approved 473 strikes that
killed between 2,372 and 2,581 enemy combatants and between 64 and 116 civilians. (The civilian toll seems very low, relative to estimates by human rights organizations, but Brennan claims it’s accurate.)

What to know about #AmyConeyBarrett rulings

Abortion
Judge Barrett has considered 3 laws restricting abortions from her home state, IN. In all 3 cases, she expressed misgivings about earlier rulings from appeals judges that had struck down the laws.

1/
In one case her court let stand a ruling that threw out a law tightening the requirements for notifying the parents of minors seeking abortions. Barrett was on the losing side joining an opinion that the ruling was premature and that the law should have been allowed to go into 2/
effect to assess its actual impact. (Not sure this is how it's supposed to work?)

“Preventing a state statute from taking effect is a judicial act of extraordinary gravity in our federal structure,” the opinion said.

In unguarded moments with senior aides, President Trump has maintained that Black Americans have mainly themselves to blame in their struggle for equality, hindered more by lack of initiative than societal impediments

After phone calls with Jewish lawmakers, Trump has muttered that Jews “are only in it for themselves” and “stick together” in an ethnic allegiance that exceeds other loyalties
Trump’s private musings about Hispanics match the vitriol he has displayed in public, and his antipathy to Africa is so ingrained that when first lady Melania Trump planned a 2018 trip to that continent he railed that he “could never understand why she would want to go there.”
