The Dog Whistle

President Trump's re-election campaign was expecting some raised eyebrows after scheduling Trump's first campaign rally in months on June 19 — Juneteenth — in Tulsa, Oklahoma, a state Trump is expected to win easily, two campaign officials tell The Associated Press.

"But the campaign was caught off guard by the intensity" of the blowback, AP reports, especially when people made a connection between the date and the host city, site of one of the worst white massacres of black Americans in U.S. history, at a period where Trump is defending Confederate symbols and attacking protests demanding an end to police murdering and terrorizing black people.

What an easy win Trump had on his plate had he the leadership capacity to treat Covid-19 and police killings seriously. Now we're left with race-baiting... Mattis was right about his divisiveness.

It's not just Trump, his echo chamber echoes with it. So. Many. Whistles.

Blacks are coming for you.

Hear that? It's piercing. Translation: Be Afraid.

Here's another recent whistle.

Quote:

The Trump administration on Friday finalized a regulation that will erase protections for transgender patients against discrimination by doctors, hospitals and health insurance companies, a move announced on the four-year anniversary of the massacre at a gay nightclub in Orlando and in the middle of Pride Month.

The rule, which does not differ much from a proposed version released last year, is part of a broad Trump administration effort across multiple areas of policy — including education, housing, and employment, as well as health care — to narrow the legal definition of sex discrimination so that it does not include protections for transgender people.

Those icky weird sex people--I paraphrase--No equality for you! Come back, one year! Or... five months if we all get our shit together. This whistled tune calls out to the homophobes of voting age.

That's a big "if" which is why you're all running scared.
