Mormons never bothered me, but one thing I had noticed was they are very insular and always prefer Mormon politicians over non-Mormons. Hence why we can't get rid of people like Romney. At least that was my image - but the other day I was listening to a gaming stream from Razorfist where he read a superchat on the topic of insufferable Mormon politicians, and he said that in his experience Mormons are instinctively RINOs. (let's pretend that means "someone not a true right-winger") He pointed to an example of a local Arizona politician Russell Pierce who WAS a Mormon, but his own church helped kick him out of office because he wanted immigration and election reform with the Protect Arizona Now initiative and SB1070. Apparently illegal immigrants are a source of new Mormon blood?
Here is the exact timestamp of the comment. (2:49:51)
What do you guys think? Was that a one-off or is there something about modern Mormonism that makes their "conservatives" non-conservative establishment cucks?
(Obviously I mean as a group i.e. The LDS Church. Individuals can be based.)
Nope, old Mormon blood and cheap labor. Mormons have had farms and more in Mexico since they went west. Fun Fact: a group of vacationers in Mexico killed last year were all mormons visiting relatives down there.
I remember that story well because it happened right after I got into a debate with a South American friend who has family in Mexico and loves the place. He was telling me not to believe the stories, Mexico is perfectly safe for travelers and the cartels leave regular people alone. About a month later I heard about those Mormons.
