That was the final straw, yes. And if they were seeking to maximize outrage, they wouldn't have done that.

Many people would see that as a dog-whistle tweet that enouraged violence. Communiation is very complex these days.

The thing about dog whistles is that you have to be a "dog" to hear them. What does it tell you, if you constantly hear dog whistles everywhere.

I don't hear any dog whistles. That's probably because I'm a socialist and not a "dog". I'm not the one focusing on undesirable elements in society. I see a lot of struggling poor people though. People who vote for con-men populists out of desperation.
