One of “the symbols and tropes of white nationalist ‘troll’ culture” that has been adapted to Mormonism involved the concept of “redpilling,” said Stephen Betts, a UVA doctoral student in religious studies. “Redpilling normies” is an alt-right process, suggesting that someone who has awakened from liberal thinking can wake up “normies,” or normal people, Betts wrote in an unpublished paper. In the LDS version, “normies” have become “Mormies.”
