Dog Whistles & Double Meanings: How Politicians Hide Controversial Messages in Plain Sight
from Unspun · host Amanda Sturgill
What do politicians really mean when they say “law and order,” “traditional values,” or “globalists”? In this episode of UnSpun, we explore the use of dog whistles—coded phrases that sound harmless but carry covert messages to particular audiences. From Nixon’s Law and Order to Trump’s use of “globalist,” we break down how this language works, why it’s effective, and how to spot it.
