    Thank you for your attention to this matter

    Isn’t that a MAGA dog whistle that Trump uses?

      It’s something he’s started putting at the end of his tweets. I assumed it was dementia not a hidden message.

        Yeah my understanding of dog whistles is about as thorough as my ability to hear them, seems like it’s a code that changes every day

          Your comment reminded me of number stations. They are radio broadcasts with seemingly random numbers getting transmitted every now and then. A well known one is “The Russian Buzzer

          They are really long range, and just about anyone can listen in to these transmissions. But only a tiny number of people (in the buzzer’s case maybe Russian spies) know the meaning and can act on them

          I guess my point is that ultimately nobody can stop the signals, including dog whistles.
