“I love our country, I want to see it restored to what it once was before all this bullshit started happening to us,” country singer tells crowd after “long-ass week” of controversy
“…Yet there’s another dog whistle we’ve been hearing about lately: a coded message communicated through words or phrases commonly understood by a particular group of people, but not by others.”
Yeah, it’s kind of a metaphor for how dogs can hear a dog whistle, but people can’t. Likewise, a " dog whistle " is a phrase or idea communicated where certain people pick up on the key language, and other people don’t. Although with the internet now, information can be disseminated readily to everyone and then people point out that it’s a dog whistle or not.

“…Yet there’s another dog whistle we’ve been hearing about lately: a coded message communicated through words or phrases commonly understood by a particular group of people, but not by others.”
