Yup, right out of the fascist playbook. Pick a group (doesn’t really matter who, as long as the group is relatively small and powerless), ‘other’ them, and convince the Great Unwashed that this group is to blame for all their troubles.

I’d wager dollars to doughnuts that conservative politicians don’t, on a personal level, give a wet fart about the LGBTQ+ community.
