Mormans consider themselves Christians, but Conservatives Christians frequently don't. Unless you're protestant or charismatic, they look down on you. Hell, their nickname for the Catholic Church is "the whore of Babylon".

The traitor lunatics on Twitter certainly aren’t silent! Lol
They immediately started in with the “that’s not the truck of a right winger” and all this other stuff. They are absolutely insane.
Incredible that the trans liberal mind virus is now so powerful it infects even true patriots like this man. SAD!
At least he took out those extreme Mormons. Out there, riding bikes, talking to.people, being violently polite, dangerously normal. Endangering the childrens by their being made up of atoms.
These libs are crazy the way they go deep undercover as lifelong conservatives
Whose broadcast license is the MAGA FCC secretary going to threaten over this one?
When is MAGA getting designated as a domestic terrorist organization?
They designated it themselves at CPAC several years ago
That's the one.
When the victors write history...
When USA owns up to its disgusting history, disavows the fascists, and provides reparations for the millions of victims.
AKA never. That's literally what USA is.
Yeah... I mean they're fascists not "objective" journalists. Totally normal in fascist society.
Of course they are. Idiots won't badmouth their own no matter how heinous the act
S'ok it's one of their own.
Malsocialized whiteboi pass.
When enough of them grow up awkward because they've been tweaked out the ass on 4chan, social media outrage algos, and pedo-adjacent anime, their mothers think something is wrong with society.
Nope. Society works fine for lots of people. No one told you to raise an awkward fucking basement predator.
But then white guy pass comes along and it's "muh raaaaycee" must save "muh raaaaycee"
When you were cranking your 3 incher to anime porn for decades you weren't thinking about your race then
Not silent, I had someone freaking out in my office today saying "dammit! Hes one of us!" with the most disdained look on his face. People died and dude is only talking about how its once again his team that did it.
As a brown guy I was thrilled to find out he was white.
That's all discussion I've seen about this attack, on Reddit and on Lemmy
Translation: "Dammit, we can't use this as an excuse to start our Maga Civil War. I hope we have better luck with the next mass shooting."
5433rd time might be the charm!
Talking about how it impacted him personally. Very conservative.
Did he question his life decisions or worldview afterward, or immediately go back to not giving a single fuck about the people who died because it made his cult look bad?
Hahahahahaha good one
I think we can all assume the answer to this. I’ve given up on being hopeful for positive change.
Thank GOD he was a MAGA! Otherwise this Attack on a Church would have been TERRORISM!
Surely trump will now issue Executive Orders labeling MAGA a "Terrorist Organization" just as he did with the made-up group "antifa", right? /s
Crazy Jackass
So far, Republican leaders have said nothing.
That's surprising. Usually when conservatives intend to do jack shit about any situation, they offer a prayer with a contrived air of empathy on their gormless faces.
If they're not praying for something or other, it would indicate that they might want to do something useful instead for a change... But I'm not holding my breath.
Trump has. He posted about how "they" are attacking Christians iirc (at first it was radical leftists, then he posted again with more ambiguous language, I think). Interesting, most Christians don't consider Mormons part of Christianity- and Kirks murderer was raised Mormon. Trump helped amplify fear mongering with that, too, so. Gee, I wonder why a Mormon church was targeted by a Trump supporter?
Won’t be long till there is Christian denomination infighting going on in the MAGA world. A good chunk of them are all ready blaming Israel for Kirk’s death as well as Mormons. I always knew this is what would happen eventually since Christians hate other Christians almost as much as they hate gays.
Yep. I've always said if/when they finally get their beloved Theocracy, there will immediately be massive sectarian violence.
All the Jesus will be white.
The minute they squelch trans and gay rights, and bring back Jim Crow, they will be right back at each others' throats, casting the other groups out as heretics and "pagans" and "cult members", etc....there are approximately 45,000 denominations of xtianity - which one is the One True Xtianity?
I like that word.
gormless /ˈɡôrmləs/ adjectiveinformal•British English lacking sense or initiative; foolish. "a constantly grinning, rather gormless boy"
Why isn't "gormful" a word

Gosh, that's so weird. If this was someone they could claim was trans, they'd be crying about how xtianity is "under attack" from the "radical left".
I am pretty sure they only tolerate Mormons as "xtians" to the extent that they're useful idiots and donors. I imagine they'll eventually purge them too.
The Right is the party of murder.
Their deafening silence is all the more damning, they support this shit.
So MAGA is a terrorist group. I'm sure the EO is coming any day now.
Incoming "it was one mentally ill dude, he doesn't represent us" defense. If they bother to cover it all.
I willing to bet a six pack of craft beer he was Charlie Kirk and that's the reason.
“Make Liberals Cry Again”
MLCA?
I can see why they went with Make America Great Again instead.
it's not fun to stay at the MLCA...
at one point i thought that it was decided to focus on the victims because fuck giving free press to the terrorist.
that seems to have been completely abandoned.
