1. I'm pleased to introduce you to Christian Stacy Hamilton, who is a young pillar of the community in Toccoa, GA and is/was a member of the SPLC listed hate group Identity Dixie.
2. Christian is the Manager at @MainStToccoa, an adjunct Professor at @ToccoaFalls, is a board member of @GaDowntownAssoc and serves on the Toccoa-Stephens County Leadership Board.
3. Christian first came to my attention in the leaked membership list to the Smokehouse vetting channel for Identity Dixie.
4. But Christian had a small digital footprint and his public posts weren't as overt as most in Identity Dixie, but there were clues.
5. Christian sets up a Gab account after January 6th. Why? I can't say for sure, but it's a red flag. The bigger issue is the presence of Clinton Cooke. Who is Clinton?
6. He's is or was a member of the League of the South hate group. You can read more about him in this fantastic thread:
7. Christian Stacy Hamilton later showed up in the secret Facebook chats of Identity Dixie. Here he is, long after Identity Dixie marched with literal Nazis at the UniteTheRight white supremacist march in 2017. He knew who they were.
8. I think Christian was recruited to Identity Dixie because he was an experienced "culture" writer.
9. Christian is seen here in another screenshot from the leaked secret chats with Tyler, Silas/Lucas, and Kenny who have all been outted.
10. Christian joined the Toccoa Rotary Club in 2018 and won their Rotarian of the Year in 2019.
Christian wants to be a part of a "special organization"
11. Christian used to run the Facebook and Twitter accounts for @MainStToccoa.
12. He's also in their videos passing out awards.
13. He also runs their blog.
14. Will @MainStToccoa, @ToccoaFalls, or @GaDowntownAssoc even care?
15. Would you want your face and name associated with a hate group member? I wouldn't.
16. I'm having trouble attaching images so I'm going to leave it here.
@MainStToccoa

@GaDowntownAssoc
What are you going to do?
17. "Patriarchy columnist extraordinaire" to hate group member to community leader to "oh shit" in 4 years.
