[Kamala-Tim 2024]

And it came to pass that those who were desirous that Pahoran should be dethroned from the judgment-seat were called king-men, for they were desirous that the law should be altered in a manner to overthrow the free government and to establish a king over the land. And those who were desirous that Pahoran should remain chief judge over the land took upon them the name of freemen; and thus was the division among them, for the freemen had sworn or covenanted to maintain their rights and the privileges of their religion by a free government.
…
And it came to pass that Moroni commanded that his army should go against those king-men, to pull down their pride and their nobility and level them with the earth, or they should take up arms and support the cause of liberty. And it came to pass that the armies did march forth against them; and they did pull down their pride and their nobility, insomuch that as they did lift their weapons of war to fight against the men of Moroni they were hewn down and leveled to the earth. And it came to pass that there were four thousand of those dissenters who were hewn down by the sword; and those of their leaders who were not slain in battle were taken and cast into prison, for there was no time for their trials at this period.

Thank you for patriotism!

odd he'd join the forward party instead of the at least slightly notable/electorally successful (at least hitting 5%+ in some races) United Utah Party.

Imagine saying "I hate elective abortions" and then leaving your state Republican party, which is one of the least receptive to MAGA in the entire country, for being too receptive to MAGA.

(This isn't as ironic as you may think - I don't support abortion, to be sure, but I think that MAGA's lighter-touch stance on abortion has been a very welcome change for the party itself.)

Neither of these things are true.

Imagine claiming the group responsible for overturning federal right to abortion has a "lighter-touch."
Imagine claiming the group whose policy playbook includes increasing surveillance of pregnant people is a "lighter-touch."
