LMAO context "isn't important." Whether it's a business metaphor or actual murder in the streets. 🤡

Because Trump talks in dog whistles in order to alarm the audience and to divide them from normal people. Hitler did the same.

    LOL - someone is so defensive they had to develop this whataboutist, cherry-picked, out of context selection, which is very good and must have taken a while to gather. Here's the context:

    Mango Mussolini tried to lead a coup against the US government WHEN HE LOST the election, which failed, a few people died, there was a lot of damage, congresspeople feared for their lives, and dozens were jailed.

    When he mentions a bloodbath of anything, IF HE'S NOT ELECTED, we know that he's not using that language in the same way as CNN would about their political hype.

        Of course you'd like to lower the discourse to that of children.

        Comparative history is very helpful, unless of course you try to prohibit it on the grounds that it's not childish enough.

        If you hear dog whistles then you are a dog.

        The only case when you can have a stand about "dog whistles" is an admission: when you are saying "I use this or that as a dog whistle".

        When you are ascribing "dog whistles" to someone else, you are just a liar or paranoid schizophrenic or both.

        Dog whistle is a type of strategy of communication that sends a message that the general population will take a certain meaning from, but a certain group that is "in the know" will take away the secret, intended message. Often involves code words.

        For example:

        Republicans say they want to make civil rights for gays a state issue, which is really just a dog whistle strategy for saying that they will refuse to grant equal rights on a federal level.

        I know what is a "dog whistle" and what you meant by a "dog whistle".
