Ok, I've been thinking about this comic for hours now and I have a theory.
The first three panels include activities that the leftist character admonishes as right-wing. In the description, StoneToss links to a study that says that muscular men are less likely to be left-wingers. So the leftists StoneToss character looks at a bodybuilder and thinks that bodybuilding must be a right-wing dog whistle. But they can't come forward and say it, because it would mean that being a left-winger means that you are physically weak and they find that embarrassing to admit.
Basically, the left-wing StoneToss character is okay not using Pepe The Frog character, OK sign, and "Come And Take It" flag because they are right-wing. But if they admit that working out is right-wing it means they are not able to partake in said activity. So they keep their mouth shut instead.
Ok, maybe I'm actually wrong. I think the weightlifter in the last panel is supposed to be whistling.
So I think the comic is saying that leftists think that everything is a dog whistle, but they actually aren't. And the only thing the left think isn't a dog whistle (working out) actually is.
Maybe I'm putting too much time and energy into trying to understand this shitty comic.
Ok, apparently “Lunk Alarm”, which is the title of the comic refers to an alarm at a gym called “Planet Fitness”. The alarm goes off if you drop the weights because some people think it’s aggressive and unwanted behavior.
So the leftist StoneToss character is observing the weightlifter if he drops the weights or not, because dropping the weights is a right-wing dog whistle. Because he doesn’t drop them, the leftist character keeps shut instead of shouting “dog whistle”.
The whole thing is so incredibly specific so thanks for @mr_world for explaining the significance of dropping weights!
I didn't even see the title of the comic but yes. This is very niche and you'd only get it if you knew of 4chan's /fit/ about 10 years ago and/or whatever right wing lifting subs reddit has.

:jesse-wtf:
Just such a baby-brain approach to thinking. Overweight men break concervative, too. But I don't see him making comics about shoving a whole pizza in your face to Own The Feminists.
It's as if to say everything else that the right winger does sets off the lunk alarm and they get memed on. He puts down the weight quietly and that doesn't set off the lunk alarm.
