@ateazy7801 A Mormon horse thief is still a horse thief. Not every LDS is a saint. I’m a Mormon adjacent agnostic. To be honest, I have a shallow understanding of the religion and what makes it different from other branches of Christianity. What I do know is that my Mormon friends and neighbors are good people that you can count on. I don’t assume that all Mormons are this way, but that has been my experience.

@briannacluck5494 What is a relief society? Is that like a service or charity oriented organization?

@TexasBoyDrew New = Authoritarian Populist wrapped around a cult of personality. Isolationist yet blustery. Old = Fiscal conservative, pro-business, strong defense, law & order, and socially a mix of moral conservatism with a personal liberty ethos. Contrary to the stereotype, old school conservatism is not anti-poor, it just believes that government is not the best vehicle for alleviating poverty. And it used to be that conservative and conservative adjacent organizations did a lot of service and charitable work. Conservatism used to be less of a rigid ideology and more of a set of personal principles. There was less policing of group boundaries and political identity. Thus both political parties had moderates that made up a political center. This changed radically in the 90s.
