    Anyone who grew up Mormon should have already known the largely evangelical Christian nationalists would like to destroy Mormons in the top ten wish list of people to harm if they ever get power. this isn’t confusing at all. it’s willfully ignoring reality.

        It’s shocking how little they understand that Evangelicals genuinely think Catholics are closer to Satan than Satan is.

      Which is wild, considering they’re ideologically aligned. I guess the Mormons are one step too culty.

        Ideologically aligned plays second fiddle to culturally homogeneous in fascism. If they’re too different, they’re an outgroup. How much of an outgroup only matters early on, but they’re still a target, ultimately.

            LDS church also, they fought having to report child sexual abuse in court and have lawyers and insurance in place specifically to prevent them from reporting child abuse. it’s so fucking crazy it’s unbelievable. I grew up in that church and I really don’t get how anyone still attends it. other than they don’t know.

        look at any coalition of power, it’s often groups that wouldn’t mind killing each other once the need for cooperation is over, and there’s MANY examples of this actually happening. one Iran was free from the US puppet government, the groups that banned together to win that freedom immediately started killing or otherwise out playing each other to get their group in charge. only one of many many examples.
