Basically just something people say that indicates a position indirectly, like how seperatists from a given region might always say they're from [region] and not [country] or how trump supporters call AI "SI" now.

Took me a minute to realise what "dog whistle" meant and it made me think about how on Ted Lasso, Roy just yells "whistle" as opposed to blowing one.

"Family values" can mean anything from hating gays, hating women who aren't rushing to squeeze out kids, basically anything that goes against the productive/nuclear family, to them — to the rest of us it's just that people should have a choice.

I don't see a lot of Americans talking up their Second Amendment anymore? I guess because they all sat back and let fascists take over, they can't really say their guns are defending them against tyranny. Funny how that played out.

    Oh no they definitely still do. They think that since their side is in power, they don’t need their armory right now, but those evil wokes are always trying to get them!
