But as photos and social media posts surfaced showing 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.

    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.

        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?
