    He’s obviously racist AF, but I doubt this is a dog whistle. Guy is too fucking stupid and impulsive to attribute some kind of intent to his word vomit.

      He’s stupid in a lot of ways, but he’s popular as a speaker for a reason, and he has done a lot of dog whistling in his life. This is just the most blatant. I do think it is intentional.

      His word vomit is pulled from a very small bin of stuff that’s “worked” in the past. Now that he knows it works as a dog whistle, we’ll be hearing the word daily for the next 2 years, at least.

        100%. It’s just that I don’t htink he has the mental capacity to put this together in the first place. He stumbled upon this because he loves to say shit is “rigged”. Then a bunch of rabid degenerates turned it into something else, and it’s now a thing.
