Three men join the first on the side of the road, all in black, each holding a sign that together read βdeport them all.β Theyβre all throwing up Nazi salutes

The first has a sign that reads βdeport them all,β the second has a red ensign flag (which has been adopted in canada by white supremacists as a symbol for a white canada), and the third is holding a glad with a Celtic cross (another adopted hate symbol used by white supremacists)
One man is seen throwing a Nazi salute at the side of the road while holding a sign that reads βimport third world become third worldβ
