^that's exactly the bait-and-switch tactic that dogwhistles allow you to perform. Besides, did you even read what I posted yesterday? Here, I'll copypaste the link for you: https://www.thenation.com/article/exclus...-strategy/

Dog whistles are a legitimate political tactic that has been used by the american right in the past 50 years if not more. Oh, and also, more recently, by alt-right fascists:

ETA: A higher resolution version of the above screenshot
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.

Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.

Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.

Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.

Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."
