Isn’t that a MAGA dog whistle that Trump uses?
It's something he's started putting at the end of his tweets. I assumed it was dementia not a hidden message.
last I heard everything is a dog whistle for everything
Yeah my understanding of dog whistles is about as thorough as my ability to hear them, seems like it's a code that changes every day
Your comment reminded me of number stations. They are radio broadcasts with seemingly random numbers getting transmitted every now and then. A well known one is "The Russian Buzzer"
They are really long range, and just about anyone can listen in to these transmissions. But only a tiny number of people (in the buzzer's case maybe Russian spies) know the meaning and act on those signals.
I guess my point is that ultimately nobody can really stop the signals, including dog whistles. And I think it's silly when people try to make some of those words taboo. For example if "roommates" is a code word for a queer couple living together the legit use of the word doesn't just disappear
