In case anyone misses the significance of this image, the “Day of the Rope” is a white supremacist fantasy taken from “The Turner Diaries.” In the novel, it’s the day when white supremacists take over and undertake a mass lynching of “race traitors.” 1/ https://twitter.com/austinkellerman/status/1346921721429782531

I first learned about the “Day of the Rope” over 22 years ago, when I was active refuting online Holocaust denial and started learning about the white supremacism and fascism that promoted Holocaust denial. 2/

The Day of the Rope is a disturbingly common image and term in white supremacist circles. They fantasize about it. They discuss how to bring it about. It is an aspirational goal of hard core white supremacists. To see it at the Capitol is beyond disturbing to me. 3/3
