TBH when people say the word "dog whistling," I get the hell out of there.

Agreed.

I doubt this will be a very popular opinion around these parts, but discussion on the internet has become so hyper-partisan and emotional lately that good faith discussion/debate has become increasingly difficult. "Dog-whistling" is of course a legitimate concept, but it's been weaponized lately with increasing frequency to bludgeon any opposing viewpoint into submission, by reading sinister meanings that usually aren't there.
