The Perfect Dog-Whistle

"The Republicans want to cut Government"
This is one of the foulest Dog-Whistles out of the mouth of Democrats to ever stink up the political discourse.
Now, why do I say that. Of course many Conservative R's do want to cut government, but here is why I say it is perhaps 'The Perfect Dog-Whistle'
This dog whistle, because of years of media bias and logical fallacy spewed out the assholes of politicians touches almost anyone.
It means Republicans want to throw granny off the cliff. It means Republicans don't want schools. It means Republicans want little kids to starve to death. It means Republicans want to give more tax breaks to big corporations. It means Republicans are racists.
It appeals to everyone and means something different to each group. But let's hear the con-arguments. I want to hear the Perfect Republican Dog Whistle from a liberal/democrat point of view so I can evaluate the merits of that position. Go.

Pretty much, and then they have the audacity to call conservatives "reactionary"

Republicans cut the fuck out of education budgets in Ohio. No more shop, home education, closed several schools in our City.
Not everyone is going to go to a conservative private school like Trump.

That's petty, trifling, and completely beside any reasonable point. Do you want to have a decent thread?

His post was not about Dog Whistle Politics. If you read mine, you will see I am trying to start a conversation about HOW these ideas form. He gave me an anecdotal example of one issue, which I responded to with an anecdotal example of the same position from the other side.

Dog whistling has a racial element
"Republicans are largely uneducated and can't adapt to changing times"
To me that paints an image of an overweight middle aged white man with a wife beater, truckers hat, and a plumbers crack.
"Liberals just want handouts they don't wanna work" And also "welfare just subsizes poor decision making" Inner-city single black mother with multiple children.

What difference, at this point, does it make?
