So when I first read this I assumed that she posted a nazi meme that showed Nazi's in a good light.

An understandable mistake given the current political climate. But she shared a meme that equated nazi flags with pride flags.

In a really perverse way, I'm at least happy that she still equates being a nazi with something 'bad'. In her mind pride flags are bad so equating them with a nazi flag means she thinks that nazis are bad. What a relief!

Probably moreso insensitivity and stupidity than being a nazi
