Dale Earnhardt, a deceased American race car driver that is being appropriated in a sorta sarcastic manner. He was a NASCAR driver, so very popular with the twats that think immigration is brown/black people stealing white people jobs and that contrails, idk, can control your mind or something. Using him for messages like bashin the fascists is extra kooky, as the aforementioned twats who worship Dale also happen to be going the way of fascism nowadays.

I kept wondering if it was because all nascar drivers do is turn left. But him being used as a meme is never explained directly or contextually.

It's because he was extremely vocal about hating the Confederate flag, and also vocal about racism being "stupid."

The dude was clearly left leaning in a sport that has mostly right leaning fans
