"Tyler Robinson Is Not A Christian Because Mormons Are Not Christians" [1]

I live in a state where there is a significant Mormon presence and have friends who are Mormons. Yesterday I watched them show up to local Charlie Kirk gatherings on Facebook and profess their admiration for Jesus Christ in disdain. Today I’m watching the right wing flood the zone with shit in their desperation to prove that Tyler Robinson is not one of them despite his upbringing and environment — he’s an radical left wing antifa Democrat they say. Their latest evidence is a photo of a member of Utah’s Democratic Socialists of America wearing said shirt, that obviously isnt Tyler Robinson but has a vague resemblance to him.
However what caught my eye is the uptick of MAGA arguing that Tyler Robinson is not a Christian because Mormons are not Christians. So, say you're Mormon and you support Charlie Kirk because you are Christian and so is Charlie Kirk. Problem is, MAGA is now saying that the shooter is not Christian because he is a Mormon, and Mormons are not Christian.
Think long and hard about what this means, because this is exactly how America shatters into a million divided pieces where everyone starts kicking each other out of their group.
MAGA just declared that you’re politically expendable — you were one of them until they decide that you’re not.
This is just the beginning.
This is exactly why you do not defend hate speech because reality is not that simple - there are complicated intersections across social groups and categories that everyone belongs to that will be severed out of political expediency.
This is how Germany fell to the Nazis.
