For those who don’t find “far-right” to be an applicable descriptor with what is known currently, I acknowledge that the meme creator could have been more precise with their word choice. However, I feel the difference is academic:

We can replace “far right” with the easily verified “not leftist” without changing the meme whatsoever, primarily because the meme is about Nancy Mace and her mercurial, disingenuous opinion, not (directly) about the shooter.

Edit - I modified it, though I still find it to be a distinction without a difference - alt version for those who prefer (whoops missed one first time)

    That is correct, his dad (in pictures on Facebook with him) has 3 percenter shirts.

    Also makes me wonder how that would lead to their kid killing someone I would deem as far right.

    Kirk wasn’t the “right” version of the right. Take a look at the groyper wars for a very specific connection between being against Kirk. This is part of what makes the (extremely specific) memes and costumes so telling about his attitude towards Kirk.

    Based on the difference between the paraphrasing references and the quotes provided on the dinner discussion too, I’d lean towards the family not being fan of Kirk either, but that is pure speculation.
