Dog whistles seem innocuous until you understand the intent. But I'm done trying to convince you based on other's replies and your responses to them.
Fascism is here. Don't be dense, stay alert and stay alive. I care for yours and everyone's safety. Know that more of these appeals to whiteness are coming. In addition to more calls for violence against others. They will also be used to sell products (like this one, even if you don't agree) cause that's what marketing does.
And with that attitude, EVERYTHING is a dog whistle. You're the boy who cries wolf every minute, and in no time nobody will listen anymore.
Right now you're playing straight into the hands of right wing types who take your ridiculous stance and use it to show how dumb all of us are for not following them. I can't say he's wrong, because you ARE being ridiculous.
We already went through this in the 2010s where everything was rape everywhere and it cheapened the word. Can we please not repeat this and just let it be?
