#Authoritarianism #Expert Spots New Trump #Boast That ‘Sends A #Chill Down My #Spine’
#RuthBenGhiat found #DonaldTrump's and #ShadyVance's #hateful #rhetoric has taken a "really #disturbing" #turn.
— The #FarRight has always been about using #Codewords, symbols, and #DogWhistles, like Trump's raised fist (#AryanFist) in most pictures of him. The same goes for terms like #ReMigration.

"The Private Code & Post-Card Cypher" (Book from 1914)
This little gem of a book illustrates how inventive our ancestors were when it came to the text-messaging equivalent of the day—the ten word #telegram. The basic idea was don’t let any leftover words go to waste (you already paid for them after all!).
The bulk of the book lists the actual #code words as conceived by the authors. One thing that becomes obvious is that some of these #codes are jocular or even absurd. There is no differentiation or explanation of these. My favorite is…
Jab = "The servants have left, the house is on fire, all the children have smallpox, and I have lost a filling out of my tooth… but don’t think of hurrying home."
My neighbor produced a #Ford #ModelT Parts Catalog also from 1914. It turns out they used an extensive system of code words to indicate how and what you were ordering!
