Sometimes the “tailgater” is doing 10 under the limit while the person in front of them is texting.
Slow down and don't tailgate. I don't see how riding someone's ass, someone who is oblivious for whatever reason, is going to help anything out.
It's unfortunate, but it does help out in many cases. There are many people who if you give them lots of space while they are in the left lane they assume you don't want to pass and just sit there, move closer to them and they will move over. It's unfortunate that it is this way, but many people are like this. They don't have any understanding that people behind them want to go past them unless the people behind them start driving closer to them.

If the car behind that is you, you're also an asshole.
Stop fucking tailgating, no matter what the car in front does.
Yeah, just stay back a safe distance and flash your brights until they move. Because the passing lane is called that for a reason and people need to get used to it.
i hired a car in Miami, driving to Disney world, as an Australian we "keep left" in this situation,. so along with trying to drive at the speed limit, in a foreign country, on the "wrong" side of the road, I kept getting the finger and beeping... wtf. Took me about 4 dudes in trucks "polietly" informing me of my trangression for me to realise... keep right :)
That is just driving in Miami, and Florida in general.
There is no enforcement in Florida for left hand lanes. Both lanes are for whatever you want and there is very little enforcement. Source: Been driving in Florida for multiple decades.
Why the hell would you start towards Disney from Miami... The Florida turnpike is the wild wild west

If you drive normally I’ll let you pass. But if you’re up in my ass flashing highbeams when I’m still overtaking? Grab a snack buddy cause we’re going nowhere and we’re not going there fast either.
Edit: Some salty fucks in here dogpiling a silly comment on the internets. Sure is reddit in here

the arrow is pointing at the empty lane.
The irony of putting this on the tailgate when he would need to be the car in purple for anyone else to see it.
