It should come as no surprise to anyone who’s been paying attention that the words uttered by Republicans can seldom be taken at face value. When you speak in code, as most on the Right do, it helps to be able to decode the words/propaganda/talking points being employed. Here, then, is a handy guide to understanding what the words employed by Republicans actually mean…and why they can be so sinister.
Remember, if you’re a Republican and your agenda involves racism, demonizing the poor, and/or blaming Liberals for the problems facing this country, dog-whistle politics is ALWAYS your best bet. You can make your points obliquely enough so that the true meaning can be denied to those not on your side, while those who are will immediately and completely be able to decipher and understand your message.
