    I feel like that whole "never thoughts leopard would eat my face" thing is getting overused but it's taking a lot not to say that

      Leopards eating faces is exactly what this is, though. "Muslim who supports Christian Nationalists because they hate gay people shocked that Christian Nationalists also hate Muslims."

      It's only overused, because it keeps happening. It's like they don't have the capacity to learn from their peers' mistakes.

    This feels similar to the Log Cabin Republicans being surprised that the Republican party refused to allow them to be part of an event because they are LGBTQ.

    Have you paid attention to the Republicans at all for the last 20 years (at least)? Because if you have, you can't be surprised when Republicans hate on LGBTQ people or Muslims.
