      At least one person has. And one more aware of always a good thing.

      The world and what is going on makes so much more sense when you have a basic understanding of Republican code speak and dog whistles. Like how Republicans are currently dispatching National Guard from states with high crime, to states with lower crime. Claiming that it’s about crime. On the face of it it doesn’t make any sense. Unless you understand that they’ve turned the word crime into a dog whistle / code word for black/brown/Jewish/liberal etc. When it comes to Republicans everything is about racism and white supremacy. Granted echoing is a bit more esoteric and slightly less common code / dog whistle from them.

        I had no idea, thank you. I know I’ve seen it before and just assumed it was artistic writing. I’m way too fucking naive for this world

          Getting someone “to say something” is the goal of trolling.

          The commenter did the equivalent of throwing sieg heils in public and winking (“those who know know” ??), then being like “I’m just raising awareness! It got you to say something!”
