Does "Virtue signalling" count as alt-right dog whistle? It should, based on usage.

Dog-whistle? No, but I agree with the implicit point that the use of the phrase “virtue signalling” as an insult is itself virtue signalling, specifically signalling a dislike of things generally associated with the American left.
