I've got to ask this question. IF LDS voters were less likely to vote for Mr. Trump how do they explain Mike Lee ?

I don't know the final 2024 percent, but Trump was getting a lot of legitimate criticism for obvious reasons from that voting bloc in 2023. Not sure about Mike Lee. www.americansurveycenter.org/newsletter/t...

Having lived in Utah for 30 + years , members of the LDS church may disagree with his moral character but not his policies. Just my humble opinion based on experience.

Religion is being twisted to fit politics; there's even a conservative Bible being interpreted to fit the agenda of a political movement. I doubt that in 1611 when the King James Bible was first published in English, it was done by liberals.

There was a major shift in republican justification for lying, according to survey by Deseret News. Lying is okay at 12% in 2015 shooting up to 55% in 2018. Now we're seeing empathy being described as a sin. Anything to get their political way...

I regret that more Christians didn't accept John Piper's warning about vulgar leaders who reshape the character of the people, teaching deadly sins that destroy persons (Acts 12:20–23). And through persons, they destroy nations (Jeremiah 48:29–31, 42). www.desiringgod.org/articles/pol...

I honestly don't understand how any group of Jewish or Christian faith can go along with what Trump does.

I take what the desert news publishes with a grain of salt , even if I agree with it. The Deseret News is a subsidiary of the Deseret Management Corporation, which is owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
