the act of attacking progressives and progressive causes without regard for the truth.

Combination of the words "faux" and "bloviate" to denote bloviating that's especially devoid of facts and/or logic. Especially applicable when applied to Fox News.

Since he had absolutely no knowledge of the topic at hand he decided to fauxviate like Glenn Beck.

His argument eviscerated, Bill O'Reilly retreated to his dream world and began his trademark fauxviating until everything made sense to him once again. Facts and logic be damned.

*See all political reporting on Fox News.*

fauxvitation

An invitation given. That the inviter doesn't really want or expect the receiver to attend. But, the invitee shows up. Then awkwardness ensues.

"Hey what did you do last night?"
"Oh I ran into Bill, who invited me to Jim's birthday party. But I think it was a fauxvitation. Cuz, when I got there they both totally ignored me. I felt so uninvited."

fauxvite

A fake invitation you give someone you really don't want them to take you up on. You get credit for inviting them, but you knew they weren't able to come.

womp

A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

You didn't get any napkins with your takeout pork fried rice? Womp womp.
