This was one of the signs at the “Re-open Illinois” event today. She assured those that she was not a Nazi, and stated, “I have Jewish friends.” Thank you for representing yourself and your “movement” for what it is.

1. How much is it going to take...

for people to begin to wake up???

Good grief, they're not hiding a thing. Trump's "very good people" on display.

[GoCubsGo]

2. Yep.

Love the flag mask, btw. Way to desecrate it, you Nazi fuck.

[Wounded Bear]

9. Many people probably don't know that that is the entrance to one of the NAZI death camps...

The cluelessness of the American political right is astounding.

[Midnight Writer]

28. Thanks for this picture. Please note how she copied the odd looking letter "B" on her sign.

3. I love that scene where they drive them off the bridge!!

4. A cop motor, and cop shocks! n/t

6. Many American Nazis

Have no idea that they have been Nazified. They are the same people who claim that Nazis are liberals.

Headline: Lady, you are either too ignorant to be out in public without your mommy or you are a Nazi.

7. Saw Ike on Millionaire

Seems like a funny guy

8. Translate "Work Makes You Free" A slogan that was on top of Nazi Austwitz death camp

12. Yes, indeed.

Welcome to DU!

13. Next best to thing to a swastika. Damn. nt

[struggle4progress]

14. "We'll expose you communist liberal socialists who love Grandma more than they love the economy!"

[PA Democrat]

15. How did that work out for those inside the Nazi concentration camps?

Pretty sick protest sign, and someone should tell her that if she doesn't want to be labeled a Nazi, she shouldn't use a Nazi slogan (in the original German, no less!) on her protest sign.

Who would want to employ or do business with that woman besides her fellow Nazis?

[Bucky]

16. Who's, JB?

On first look, I would just assume that slogan is being used either ironically or as a troll against the protesters.

Am I erroneously assuming historical awareness?

[Cadfael]

17. JB is our governor

J B Pritzker.....who is doing a fine job, btw...

[Celerity]

18. its a fucking Republican Nazi, using a Nazi slogan against a Jewish Democratic governor, JB Pritzker

not just any slogan, but the Auschwitz I main gate slogan

[catbyte]

19. Wow, that makes her even more despicable. So she has "Jewish friends?" I'll bet she would've

busted Anne Frank.

[rusty fender]

20. She addresses her sign, specifically, to

JB. In doing so, it becomes a threat. She is warning JB that an Auschwitz concentration camp awaits him. It seems impossible to get more despicable than that. She even replicates the scrunched B from the actual Auschwitz camp sign

[Celerity]

21. good catch!!!! that shows CLEAR malice aforethought

She even replicates the scrunched B from the actual Auschwitz camp sign

[denem]

22. Malice aforethought

Appalling.

[Celerity]

25. +100000

26. 'Us real Nazis still want you jews dead'

There may be some other message , but I can't think of one .
It's not we want to get back to work.

[Celerity]

27. the fabric of society, indeed of truth and reality itself, it being rent asunder

This is all happening in plain sight, for the country to see. A darkness is coming if this path is continued to be trod upon. I am afraid the balancing mechanisms were always far more fragile than most cared to think about. Normalcy bias has doomed many a nation, many a state, many a tribe, many an empire down through the spirals of human history.

[rusty fender]

31. Thanks for the pics!

I can’t take credit for noticing the B. I saw that reference on Twitter

[Celerity]

32. Yw! And you brought it to the board anyway, so well played.

[smirkymonkey]

23. JB Pritzker, the very competent Democratic governor.

Who happens to be Jewish. She is a disgusting POS.

[roamer65]

24. I hate Michigan Nazis.

[First Speaker]

29. I can hardly believe this...

...on some level. That anyone in this country could stoop to *this*. "Arbeit macht frei". God help this country, and I shall, in all sincerity, be praying for this woman's soul...

33. The only people accusing it of being fake are a pack of gaslighting MAGAt berks

They can go fuck themselves with a rusty spanner.

[Hekate]

34. She has Jewish friends? I think by now she HAD Jewish friends. Despicable. nt

[question everything]

35. K&R

Interesting that many of these protesters wear masks. Why?
