The more overt version of a dog whistle. While dog whistles are subtle in their messaging, bullhorns leave nothing to the imagination. The term is often used when referring to racist rhetoric.
From the 1980s to the 2010s, American and European racist media gradually began to drop the façade of plausible deniability, becoming more and more direct with their intentions, until they became quite direct and transparent with their messaging. The National Interest declared this shift in messaging the "putting down of the dogwhistle and picking up the bullhorn."
