    Idaho’s largest newspaper humiliates Trump’s “Patriot Front” white supremacists in a
    devastating op-ed after they file a lawsuit complaining that they’ve lost their jobs and been
    shunned by their families after their identities exposed to the public.

    In the brutal op-ed, the editors of the Idaho Statesman didn’t mince words and showed zero sympathy
    for the pro-Trump’s neo-nazis, declaring that, “What they’re really upset about is suffering the
    consequences of their abhorrent views — views that they feel so strongly about, they don’t
    want anyone to know about. The plaintiffs say they were fired from their jobs, have been threatened
    at their homes and have had their tires slashed, among other things.

    The editorial continues, “Actions have consequences. It’s a warped view of freedom of expression
    when Patriot Front members attempt to completely conceal their ownership of said expression. Hiding
    behind anonymity has become an all-too-common feature of white nationalist and extremist trolls
    who lurk in the shadows of social media, hiding behind bogus accounts and fake avatars, spewing
    hate, sowing division, and threatening and intimidating others.

    The brutal takedown continues, “It’s that anonymity that allows their putrescent views to grow
    and spread like a flesh-eating bacteria — except in this case, it’s more like a brain-eating disease.
    The fact the Patriot Front members’ main complaint is that they’ve suffered for being associated with
    these views is telling. The fact that employers — even their own relatives, in the case of Brown — want
    nothing to do with them tells you all you need to know.

    The editorial ends with a bang, “If Patriot Front members believe that they are right and just, why not
    attach their names to their beliefs and putrid goals? Otherwise, they’re just behaving in a cowardly
    fashion, hiding behind ridiculous masks, fake social media accounts and in the darkness of the back of a U-Haul van."

    Well, there is also this:

    It was Trump’s Truth Social that was the platform which tipped off the
    FBI about Craig Robertson and his violent threats against multiple public officials.

    FAFO applies.
