I understand not caring in the grand scheme of things because it's ultimately nothing new in the West, but it's still rough when you want to talk to people about the blatant dog whistling.
Unironically though. He was elected by a coalition of people who wanted to stop slavery immediately, and who wanted to stop it over time, but was way more moderate than they wanted.
Remember, the south seceded because they assumed the country would eventually get around to banning slavery, not because they actually tried to.
He consistently tried to find a middle ground, saying he'd be fine maintaining slavery if it meant the country stayed together, only freeing slaves only in confederate-occupied territories (until the political situation changed), trying to send them to Africa, etc.
They actually like saying "Let's Go Brandon" and " Rigger" more.
It's a secret codeword for them to show in-group affiliation. There's no point to a dog whistle that is so transparent and blatant, but I never accused them of being intelligent.
They're always coming up with nicknames for black people. They tried using "Google" briefly to screw up the google algorithm and "Basketball American" was another one. Neither really ever caught on.
