CPAC stage design a coincidence?

This FB post doesn't think so.

"Many folks may be unaware, but it’s a matter of public record that members of registered White supremacist hate groups have a long history of involvement in CPAC. That said, this year’s stage is a chilling, and hopefully sobering reminder of the seriousness of the exponential explosion of hate group activity fomented by Trump.
"Quite literally, the actual stage at the event is a particularly infamous Nazi symbol, as evidenced in the photo below. If you think it was an accident, you are a fool.
"If even now you still have doubts about the fact that the political right has been overrun by White nationalist psychopaths, you are dangerously ignorant.
"The insurrection of the Capitol was orchestrated by a cadre of fascist hate groups, including the Proud Boys, the Three Percenters, QAnon, the Oath Keepers, Rise Above, the Boogaloo Bois, and neo-Nazis, among others, directed by Donald Trump’s inner circle of White nationalists, including Steve Bannon and Roger Stone, on his behalf.
"Make no mistake; the insurrection wasn’t the end of the fascist takeover of the GOP... it was the beginning. The brazen act of designing the stage at CPAC in the shape of an infamous Nazi symbol was a statement. A statement confirming who is in charge, and daring critics to say otherwise.
"Like it or not, fascist right wing extremists such as Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Jim Jordan, Ron Johnson, Lindsey Graham, and Madison Cawthorn, aren’t the fringe of the GOP, they are in charge.
"Across the board, all of the GOP politicians that voted their conscience, after the President of the United Stated orchestrated the deadly insurrection at the Capitol, have been under attack from the their own party.
"This is nothing less than an existential crisis for the state of the nation. When interviewed, critics of Hitler and the Nazi regime overwhelmingly asserted that their single biggest regret was that they didn’t fight harder against the rise of the Nazi Party while they still could.
This is that moment for the US. Don’t normalize or minimize what is happening. Keep living your life, but don’t stop fighting fascism in whatever way your heart and head tells you to."
