I mean, this isn't an uncommon graphic design mistake, there's a whole subreddit for it. In this case it's far more likely to be a dumb mistake than an intentional dogwhistle like that suspiciously Odal rune shaped stage at CPAC may have been.

    I'm OOTL. What dogwhistle stage are we talking about?

    CPAC's stage in 2021 which looked like a Norse rune used by the Nazis.

    You say that, but these are the same idiots that posted the "we're all domestic terrorists" to a signboard, so you never know...

    Not that I know of. The Odal rune is obscure enough to the average person that they have plausible deniability, so unless we find design documents or get a confession it's basically impossible to prove.
