The word “dogwhistle” has also lost all meaning. I mean that’s its mostly used to patronize the other side. Much like how they use woke. There are reasonable people on both side and none of them use these words.
If a dog whistle no longer means “something that is said with the intention of most people hearing something harmless and others knowing what the speaker actually means” please enlighten me.
Because the term “woke” when used as a criticism is literally just a dog whistle for racists, misogynists, and homophobes.

Seems like an accurate usage to me.
