Noun
Gay conservatives started a group called the "Log Cabin Republicans," in a strange reference to Abraham Lincoln. Of course, this group was founded in 1977, when Republicans were openly discriminating against the LGBTQ+ community. This prompted commentators to begin comparing the group to the term "Uncle Tom," someone who thinks of slave masters as benevolent dictators, and just treating them nicely will persuade them to end their genocidal slavery practices. Hence, an "Uncle Tom's Cabin Republican."

Don't count on him to care about trans rights. He's an Uncle Tom's Cabin Republican who still deadnames Caitlyn Jenner, despite HER being an Uncle Tom's Cabin Republican herself!
