Holy fuck, it’s not even mildly subtle.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Sun_(symbol)
Also, how dare those Nazi fucks bespoil Kate Bush’s wonderful music like that. I hope she sues the living fuck out of them.
-edit, notice also; ‘Make America Florida’. and ‘God’ superimposed over DeSantis.
It's subtle only in the sense that most regular people don't know what the black sun is. My wife got me this keychain that had some pagan symbols on it with a black sun snuck in as well, she had no idea until I told her.
I admit I got all the way to the end waiting for the swastika, and figured, "eh, well it must be that thing."
Thing is, while I find this entirely plausible, unless there's an archive.org of the tweet before deletion, I don't think we can credibly tie this back to anything DeSantis wanted or approved.
He's in my top 5 list of people actively trying to destroy the US, but unless the provenance of the linked video can be proven I don't see this going anywhere. Folks who hate him aren't surprised, folks who don't will ask for more proof, DeSantis will deny if he acknowledges it at all.
The NYT is reporting that it was actually produced by the DeSantis campaign, which is doing nothing to disavow the notion.
