    If you keep thinking you’re hearing “dog whistles” everywhere, even among allies, you’re going to slowly go bonkers.

      You know what, your right, I didn’t get it at first. I was wrong and retract my comment. Sorry.

      I still think it was in bad taste, particularly at a time when we are rapidly heading into what seems like is going to be a very dark time.

      Edit: To add I suspect this is a function of this being on the internet and not being able to see your delivery. It’s so close to actual right wing talking points that without additional context it was easy to misinterpret the premise.

        I agree, my apologies. I was just finding the post ugly and absurd, and I was flippant with my sarcasm, so I commented while I was walking without much thought.

        But I agree with you. These are times to be clear and direct about being an ally. It’s reasonable and justified to be suspicious when the stakes are high and the world seems dark.
