In the debate over Donald Trump's use of a "poster" taken from an overtly Anti-Semitic website with a Star of David reminiscent of the stars worn by Jews in NAZI Germany, people have missed the fact that Trump, who was raised by a father who was an active member of the {reconstituted) Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, replaced the Star of David with a wink and nod to Klan members. As a Southerner, I know that the Ku Klux part of the name for KKK means CIRCLE. I have heard the term "dog whistle" used to refer to symbolism intended to be for the knowing select few. This is one example.
