Just gonna gloss over the dog whistles there are we?
Yeah, thats the point. The Trump administration has targeted people for being brown and having tattoos, accusing them of being part of a gang, and being violent criminals, when there is no evidence. That is quite literally the reference.
And doubling down on that false premise does what exactly?
What dog whistles? He was very clear. Do you know what a "dog whistle" is?
He's highlighting the "absurdity" that people in "suits and ties and congressional pins" are stealing when we all know it's really the "folks with tattoos and hoodies" who are supposed to be thieves.
You're not wrong that it's very clear and not much of a dog whistle, but it's still apparently subtle enough that it goes over the head of most of this thread.
