This conversation reminded me of a void that I feel keeps getting missed in your discussions. There is a big difference between a Mormon and a Utah Mormon. I have lived with both and they are completely different creatures.
Utah supporting this guy along with Hawaii makes perfect sense. The mindset here encourages the lack of questioning, doing what you are told and following along with the crowd.
Just watch the news here. We continue to exacerbate our issues, elect the same people, keep our heads in the sand and go out of our way to make things worse because change would require rocking the boat and that is just not acceptable in Stepfo….I mean Utah.
