The phrase has been around since at least the 80s, and probably since well before that. The thing is, it's become very over-used in recent years, and is now used to refer to things that are way too overt/obvious to be dog whistles. For example, Trump's Muslim Ban isn't a dog whistle: it's overt bigotry.
