Isn't that "88" a little too on-point?

I believe this comment reflects that white supremacists and nazi's use 88 as code for "h[eil] h[itler]" because H is the 8th letter in the english alphabet.

Though the current admin is clearly (very) white supremacist, I think this one is a coincidence.

The decimal code for capital X in the ASCII table is probably also a coincidence.
