Never thought I would see this. Article in comments. Prominent LDS officials in the church are telling the Mormon followers that Trump is not what God would want.
Are you kidding me? Mormons are all for tradwives and breeding. This has to be false.

This is huge. If Utah votes blue they’ve lost a deeply red, deeply religious state.
Whether this flips Utah or splits the LDS church down the middle, this is a significant change. No other major religious group has come out against Trump so strongly.

It’s nice to see highly visible church members speaking against the blind acceptance of Trump. But unless church leadership actually condemns Trump’s undemocratic values during general conference this weekend any votes for Harris will be at the fringe. That may be enough to tilt Arizona towards the democratic ticket, but it would take a miracle to turn Utah blue.
Funny enough I’m shocked there hasn’t been even covert condemnation about modern day kingmen, but as a former member I’m not clued in unless my family brings it up.

Good, I guess, for diverting votes away.
But the optics are just one cult against another cult

Utah is so blood red that this’ll be symbolic only inside the state.
Now, Arizona and Nevada OTOH…

This is encouraging to hear, but why now? Trump has always been a person or low character, and the Mormons are just now noticing?

Of course everything, really everything is better than Trump. And every American should know that and not vote for this diarrhea, BUT.
ALL CHURCHES, ALL FAITH COMMUNITIES HAVE TO SHUT THE FUCK UP WHEN IT COMES TO POLITICS, ALWAYS!!!

Headline is pretty deceptive. A few Mormons in politics say Trump is not a moral man is wildly different than the LDS church coming out and saying it.

Your screenshot says “four prominent members” are urging others not to vote for him.
That’s not quite the same as your title of “the church is against him”…

this is not the church. this is four politicians stating what they believe. one republican, two democrats, one independent. the church has stayed neutral so far. lots of lds will vote for trump bc while they don’t like him or find him worthy, the policies his government would enact are for the most part more in line with their beliefs.

Four Mormons aren’t voting for Trump. That’s the headline.
This does not say that the LDS is telling Mormons not to vote for Trump.
Utah overwhelmingly favors Trump by 20 points (60/40).
