12. They are even back to their antisemitic dog whistles. I dared elude to a dog whistle and got a hide

If I had know I'd be hidden, I would have actually called them out for their bigotry outright. Rather than just alluding to the truth of it it, The guilty have such thin skins and think its meany, mean, mean! To not agree with their hatred of the guy's ethnic heritage and because of his heritage and that hatred they will hide even the hint you are on to them.

THIS POST IS ABOUT ADVICE GOING FORWARD

I suppose it is no surprise to anyone here the poster with the thin skin and the "soft bigotry" is a huge friend and supporter of a member here who openly, loudly and unmistakably declared hatred quite literally and in exact mistakenly frank terms that hatred towards those of Bernie Sanders Heritage, using both the "H' and "J' words directly with a rant so bigoted and racist it was picked up and re-echoed (honored?) by a well known ultra right wing hate site.

My advise, having faced bigots my whole life is either just ignore the dog whistles, or respond directly and take the hide because even hinting at what they do with their dog-whistles will result in a hide anyway.

I should have just called it straight out for what it was in retrospect considering the outcome was the same anyway.
