The most common and innocuous sounding one is "Family values" the moment I hear that I immediately assume anti-gay.

This is a bit of a tricky example, if Orban or Meloni said that I'd be suspicious.

But if an environmentalist or leftist criticised bankers for investment in fossil fuel or the 2007 economic collapse then it's obviously not dog whistle to blame it in international bankers.

I believe this happened in the UK. I'm not totally familiar with their politicians, but I believe it was Corbin? that was standing in front of a mural that was supposed to be about some "illuminati" intentional banker conspiracy and he got a whole bunch of shit for being antisemitic because the bankers were Jewish, when their religion/ethnicity had absolutely nothing to do with the criticism.
