This is not true, and I think you know this is not true.

It's both true and approximately 1/3 of the GOP strategy. Dogwhistles for the racists, abortion for the Leviticans and welfare for the wealthy. How is that not true?

Dog whistles are ipso facto not racial slurs. Brianna claims that it's very hard for many conservatives to avoid slurs or overt death threats, which is a ridiculous claim.

You are every bit as capable of parsing B's tweet properly as I am, so why instead are you splitting semantic hairs here? I am genuinely baffled.

As a distraction. It's a classic derailing 101 tactic.

Yeah I get that but Maciej isn't a dick. At least I've never seen him be one unless the target had it coming (*cough*Y Combinator*cough*). Hence my puzzlement.

Since you're defending me, you deserve a serious answer. I think the statement is ridiculous on its face and that I'm not parsing it in some weird way that overlooks its clear meaning. There are many ways to phrase what I assume is the underlying thought that I would agree with

So you took issue with the phrasing being at an angle to the presumptive meaning and rather than try to resolve that directly ("not sure but did you mean...?"), you went with a reply to the least charitable reading, in order to highlight the dissonance. Do I have that right?

I don't mean to be a Sea lion here. It's just that, if I'm understanding you, that was kind of dickish. No? Like, look how easily one could twist all this to say "Pinboard Dude Defends Racists". Anyway I am sealioning by now so I'm out. Peace.

I get your point, but don't see things the same way. I think I would be closer to your line of reasoning if Brianna weren't a Congressional candidate. I too will descend back into the ocean of Twitter and wish you peace right back.
