when one is highly critical of a group of people and beliefs, especially those of a minority class, almost to fanatical levels but, when called out on their criticism, will attempt to use that judgment or prejudice in their favor against their detractors.

when one is clearly racist towards a minority group but, will say that anyone calling them racist for this action is obviously a racist themselves for pointing this out.

fake outrage.
after being called out for her racist viewpoints towards immigrants and the diversity in America, Laura Ingraham was quick to use her obvious FAUXISM of being an oppressed white person not being able to speak about the racism towards other white people as a turning point in the argument.

Expecting me to wear a mask, wash my hands and socially distancing takes away my freedom. It’s the downright tyranny of Faucism!

1. Someone who acts as an expert but clearly isn't.

2. Knowingly guessing at a response but speaking with conviction. A combination of Faux (fake) and SME (subject-matter-expert) (Pronunciation: \ˈfō-smē\). It can be used as an adjective or a verb.
You: "I wonder how long it took to build this roller coaster?"
Fauxsme: "I bet it took 40 guys at least 3 months to finish this off."
You: "Don't be a fauxsme, you clearly have no idea whatsoever."

Everytime I see Salima she's always wearing those awful knock-off Chanel sunglasses with her too big to actually be a Chloe handbag. She's such a fauxista!

The belief that government should take unilateral control over the lives of an entire nation under the guise of an unending national emergency. Often, faucist look towards a figurehead who has no personal accountability and cannot be disposed from their office. The figurehead does not dictate policy and only repeats talking points, but is used as a shield from all criticism. Scholars believe faucism is more akin to a religion than a political movement (ie, belief in an infallible force, the gospel of the figurehead must be spread, holding contradictory beliefs without evidence).
Are you listening to the news conference today?

Nah, it's just full of Faucism.
