for those keeping track, the dog whistles have moved from bigotry to violence.
ever since nixon's southern strategy, republicans have been making dog whistles to their base about sexism, racism, xenophobia, etc.
with benedict donald's campaign, the bigotry has become pretty overt and unapologetic -- no longer a dog whistle, humans can hear that whistle quite clearly.
what's dog whistle is that violence on the part of republicans if fine. this started with donnie's campaign speeches, pining for the good old days of beating up protestors, promising to cover legal bills for supporters who assault protestors, etc.
add to that the overt violence of shoving prime ministers around and body-checking reporters.
we are at a dangerous time. benedict donald's administration seems to be floundering, yet there are other signs of a continued march toward fascism.
we're in big trouble if people who act like this survive politically.
