This is my third time to the office. Im waiting for the Doctor to come in and whie waiting in the examination room, I spot this. I start flipping through it, and I am getting upset.

I wait for the doctor to come in. I immeditely ask him, hey what it this? why is it here? He blew me off and just said "oh its just an opinion piece" and I said, yeah, but who put it here, do you believe in this? And he just shrugged. I said, Im leaving, that is so wierd, thats weird to have in a doctors office. And I left. Ill never go back to that place.

I need a doctor who believes in science. You wanna be christain thats fine, but this literally says,for christain nationalism. gross.

Putnam CT, USA if anyone is curious. I want to post the photo in google maps reviews, but I am afraid to, even with my google account being a burner. Yes, it's the red pocket of an overall blue state, but, I just, was not expecting to see this.

Seems a lot of the right wing "dog whistles" are more of an air raid siren. They don't need to be subtle - a horrifying number of people build their whole identity around things like racism and religious superiority. The louder the whistle, the more support they drum up from those evil shits.

There are no Dog Whistles any more. That was when being a treasonous racist pedophile was something you weren't proud of and wasn't socially acceptable, so you had to communicate with your douchebag buddies under the radar.

MAGA Has given them permission to let their Traitor flag fly, and they are too stupid to understand that this won't last forever, and the punishment will be a bitch, so they are demonstrating to the world just how ugly they are. At least when this is all over, we will have no doubts as to where the problems are. They've made it easy to improve society with a little thinning of the herd.

They're typically used in real life situations, for example, when trying to figure out whether their coworkers are like-minded. Once they know they can get away with it, though ... I have a few coworkers that will talk right-wing talking points practically non-stop. Another coworker and I have considered reporting them to HR, but all that would do is put a target on our backs; or at best, get them to silently hold a grudge against us. And it takes a lot more than office drama to get fired where I work.
