4chan convinced politicians/pundits the ok symbol was white supremacist.

Exactly, the imbeciles. Which is even more funny considering the original intention was to convince liberals and other lefties that the ok symbol was racist just for the hell of it, but it backfired and only braindead nazis and fascists ended up believing it.

Maybe it was a response to "Trap" suddenly becoming transphobic? That's not a hill that's worth dying on, but it seems like overnight that term became problematic.

Anyway, neo-nazis love hidden symbols. Even if they aren't hidden at all.
