Kneejerk reaction I'd attribute whatever is going on there to the classic Republican grift more so than Mormons specifically. Red-dominated states don't have lunatics raving their streets but that doesn't mean the politicians aren't still vampirizing us due to our complacence. Plenty of red states have high degrees of corruption and stagnation because of them.
Mormon policies and interactions should be framed by their intense antipathy for the United States Government. I wouldn't be surprised if many of their politicians are secret accelerationists.
Mormons are the type of folks that continue doing what they're doing, but follow the rules. They got a temple in East Germany, and announced one in Russia while the war in Ukraine was being declared. They will declare the sin, and help the sinner.
As a friend puts it, "we get along with the LGBT, by pointing out everyone trying to control them have similar opinions to us."
But I can say the church and Mormon culture can be very different. I've been lectured against drinking coke while the church HQ sells it at their cafeteria.
Not entirely, I know about Mittens at least.

Basically they always vote for a Mormon over a non-Mormon. If we can get a good Mormon to replace Romney he'll have a shot.
