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)

    And why would you listen to their definitions? They are Christianity, sure not mainline, but as kooky and deranged.

      To be clear: I was being sarcastic. In a different reply I said that there is no authority who can decide who’s a real Christian and who isn’t. It’s all about self identification and they identify as such so they are Christians

        No worries. I just don’t think they get to say they’re entirely different. It all leads back to the same thing.

          I’m confused about what your point is and what you think mine is. My point is that Mormons are Christians and I made fun of people denying that. This isn’t rolling back or moving the goalpost or anything but just explaining my original intention and when you read the other comments you see that most understood it that way.

            I read this as you guys agreeing - religious designations are arbitrary, you guys are just saying it from different POVs

            I thought you were taking the side of those that deny them as Christians. It doesn’t matter anyway because I was just clarifying my position.
