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)

I'm not mistaken as how that argument goes. I disagree with it.

In a different reply, I said "There is no authority, no person or group of people, authorized to decide who is a Christian and who is not. " and I stand with that. I didn't deny that you can come up with arbitary criteria to exclude certain groups, especially when you are allowed to use vague language like "different perspective on God".

we have a lot of evidence that suggests Joseph Smith was outright fabricating everything.

Do you think Paul wrote all the letters by Paul? How is this a critical difference?
