What's the thing I'm supposed to notice..?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/88_%28number%29
88 is a Nazi thing. There's a lot of 8s on that page, the sale seems very weirdly focused around 8. And not just one 8, multiple "crazy 8s".
Could be a coincidence, but that's the thing about dogwhistles. They're ambiguous by nature. The fact that he was at the riots on January 6th makes it even more suspicious.
edit: and "14", too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourteen_Words
The 14 words is a thing to. 14 and 88 together are common nazi prison tattoos.
Good shout, edited with that info. Cheers!
I had never heard of that before, but I've seen several crazy 8 style things over the years - I did know that 8 was a lucky number in Chinese numerology.
So the idea here is that people think some Trumper is subtly telling everyone he likes Nazis, and chose to do that by discounting the stuff he sells in his store? That seems weird, but at least I understand. Thanks
Honestly I feel like food prices kind of are a hate crime anymore. Cost me 45 dollars yesterday to get a 12" pizza, 6" sub, and 3 drinks yesterday!
Are we great enough yet? I don't think I can afford to make America any greater . . .
88 is also a Chinese good luck thing. It's the 1488 that makes this suspicious. 8 is a lucky number in many cultures
