Blaming "fake" xians (read people who are NOT xians) for the awful people of their faith.

Because only those of us who are not xian are immoral, donchaknow, and so only we could be so immoral as to pretend to be xian to make xians look bad. Or I think that's how it works.

It's certainly the only logical conclusion to be had from their flinging around the "fake" term so much.

This guy should be easy to find. Most MAGA hats don't have scrambled eggs - the gold trim on the bill of his hat - on them. Find a skinny white guy with that hat, and you've got him.

If you look up the origin of that term, it's from the late 1800's, early 1900's, aka the eugenics era in America from which the Nazi's learned so much from. And it specifically referred to people who breathed through their mouths rather than their nose due to medical conditions, but also ones that often coincided with intellectual or developmental disabilities. Or just variations of humanity such as Down Syndrome. You may as well normalize the so-called, "R-word". And yes, it is still very much meant to imply someone is "stupid or intellectually inferior"; it's never a choice unlike behaviors such as being a Republican, terrorizing people or firebombing donut shops.

oh well, maybe there's enough evidence from the video to catch him. Maybe with cell phone towers and traffic cameras from the area at 2:30 AM.

Right wing terrorism against LGBT events has increased as GOP hateful rhetoric has increased. But I'm sure that's just an unrelated coincidence.
