It's just a whistle now, everyone can hear it unless you've got your head buried in your ass.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

It's a foghorn
It's the sound of the world ending.
you do everyone a disservice by calling what trump and his legion have been doing "dog whistles" same as you do when you post articles calling their naked racism anything but naked racism, it's not cheeky, it's assistance
The article as a whole calls out his racism, antisemitism, and antiveteranism. (He's all for calling out the military to attack the people, but would dump any of them who get injured on the scrapheap.)
Yeah, but making a thoughtful post about the article actually requires reading it. Just being outraged at the media is much easier intellectually. Bonus points because it's popular here on Lemmy.
It's still very true that the media deserves it, though. Their normalizing and both-sidesing and horse-racing and sanewashing has been a large part of how this fascist cancer was allowed to metastasize in the first place.
It’s still very true that the media deserves it,
The article is calling it out, while the poster is claiming that it isn't calling it out. It's definitely not deserved here, and they are just being mindlessly outraged. It's the exact same shit I see from dumbass trump supporters: the facts don't matter, only the narrative.
This shit is terrifying. I’m getting more done on my chores and to do lists by virtue of stress energy.
It’s not a dog whistle. It’s a dog bull horn.
