Every religion out there tells you that people like Trump are bad people.
Every single one.
> In 2020, GOP residents of Maricopa County in Arizona banded together to stand up against Trump. The signs were created by Dan Barker, a leader in the Maricopa County LDS community and former GOP-appointed judge, who wanted to find a way to support Biden without giving up his lifelong Republican identity.

> “She probably got there quicker than I did,” said Barker, who in 2020 started the political action committee Arizona Republicans Who Believe in Treating Others with Respect. “I just wasn’t quite comfortable identifying with the Democratic Party. And so for me, I said, hey, well, I’d rather do something like, ‘Republicans for Biden.’ ”
How long will it take for the Arizona Republican Party to stop nominating such fruit loop characters as Martha McSilly, Kari Fake, or Masterblakes?
And it seems that plenty of conservative voters saw through Fake’s desperate attempt to distance herself from the abortion ban she supported.
How could he have support among any reasonably “faithful” group?! It’s madness! Like fine, “evangelicals” have always been superficial Christians but a lot of Mormons are disciplined, faithful people. How could a Christian compromise their beliefs far enough to accept this guy? It’s emblematic of a serious crisis of faith.
Good. This could make a difference in Arizona.
They can straight up go Mormon themselves for all i care
As a former Mormon, rejecting Trump whilst wholeheartedly accepting and patterning your life around a misogynistic, pedophile-protecting, multi-billion dollar cult masquerading as a religion is rich. And they probably don’t even see the irony (irony is a hard concept in Mormonism).
And if those 6 Mormon women get together with the 3 Evangelicals and 5 Catholics who oppose Trump, they can form a Soccer team with three on the bench
How about rejecting the people that made trump happen in the first place. Trump is a result of the current gop.
It’s not enough.
Utah will not save us.
Women are 50% of the population. We shouldn’t need 100% of women to save ourselves. How about groups of men stepping up?
It’s not a key state, been here my whole life. Even if it went blue, it won’t Texas will go blue before Utah, it’s such a small electoral vote it wouldn’t decide anything
For any women of faith, the wedding picture meme with Tiffany Trump standing next to Melia Trump standing next to Ivanka Trump with the explanations of who is standing next to the person whose mother Donald last cheated should say it all for women of faith.
Will they be threatened with excommunication / disfellowship ?
Took them long enough
Trump is still winning Utah by a comfortable margin.
LDS/mormons may whine and turn their noses up at Trump, but they’ll vote for him anyway.
Great job defying sky daddy
Let’s go ladies!
Also, “Arizona Republicans Who Believe in Treating Others with Respect” is quite the political group name; I dig the sentiment but wow, what times we live in, right?
Their husband is going to be pissed
They’ll vote for Trump. When the time comes, their male overlords will simply force them. As Mormons, it’s the male’s right and the female’s obligation.
