Basically just something people say that indicates a position indirectly, like how seperatists from a given region might always say they’re from [region] and not [country] or how trump supporters call AI “SI” now.

    Argued with someone that their use of “common sense” was a dog whistle… Sure enough, their next line was about the “family vote”…

    This was in response to a Trans Rights comment chain. Like wtf is the “family vote”? Trans people have families too.

      Family vote = man of the house votes and women don’t vote anymore. No, they don’t acknowledge anything other than the stereotypical husband, wife, and 2.5 children as deserving a vote.
