re: #494 Mocking Jay

It’s amazing how Republicans can’t grasp that what they think they’re saying might not be the same as what other people hear.

I know that, and I also know that some liberals will call the line a “dog whistle”. At which point you roll out some earlier examples of its use, even including funny signs to make clear that what you’re saying has no ethnic angle. As far as it has any ulterior meaning, the “attack chihuahua” serves as a trap, luring incautious left-wingers into making unfounded allegations that can be pounced on.

Yes, I thought this one out a bit.
