      No stranger to expecting to apply their morality to all people, even those who have a very different set of beliefs. Just a niche brand of christian nationalism seeking to subjugate everyone to their ways.

         Most Mormons are not Christian nationalists and in fact tend to oppose such, especially in comparison to most red states and evangelicals.

            That has not been my experience. I was born and raised in it and come from generations of Mormons going back to the 1800s.

            Every family member I know of that is still Mormon only votes MAGA. Same for 90% of the Mormons I know in my area.

            They expressly want a world/govt where their kids are never exposed to people with different views or lifestyles (e.g. LGBTQA people).

            None of this should be surprising for the only church to ever operate a theocracy in the US, and also the last major Christian sect to officially stop being racist (in 1978). It is in the cultural DNA.
