As the nation reels from another devastating mass shooting -- this time at a Mormon church in suburban Michigan -- Republican leaders have remained notably silent following revelations that the gunman was a devoted Trump supporter who once proudly wore the label "Ultra MAGA." But as photos and social media posts surfaced showing [Thomas Jacob] Sanford in a camouflage Trump 2020 shirt that read "Make Liberals Cry Again," and a Trump-Pence sign still visible on his front lawn just months ago, the political implications became harder to ignore. So far, Republican leaders have said nothing.
#8: Hi Doc Sarvis: I'm sensing this shooting of the Mormons and the Charlie Kirk assassination are "right on right" violence. The many rightwing factions in Weimar Germany took years to finally consolidate under the NSDAP. In the meantime, the German rightwing fought off the Communists until 1933. Similarly the Stalinists and the Trotskyites in the Spanish Civil War were at loggerheads while fending off the Falangists. Charlie Kirk, like House Republican Marjorie Taylor-Greene, was becoming publicly skeptical of Israel, which may have led to his demise by someone to the right of him (if that's possible): www.newsweek.com
Regarding the Mormon massacre, there are Christian purists today who consider the LDS heretical. The LDS may use Christian terms, but the origins of their universe is a far cry from the Old and New Testaments. Last century I heard of a Baptist father abducting his own daughter when he heard she was in love with a Mormon and was going marry him.
