Have you ever heard of dog whistles?
Anyways, Ive never met someone that says things like this but also opposed efforts to reduce legal immigration like the RAISE act or refugee/travel bans. As it turns out, there’s a high correlation!
- jcims 7y agoYes, I'm convinced people that hear too many dog whistles in conversation are either intellectually lazy or borderline paranoid schizophrenic. Rather than trying to engage with the person to really understand how they are thinking about something, 'dog whistles' are used to neatly package them into subhuman categories not worth consideration as peers in democracy.
