I could pretty much say this every day these days, but this is so fucking stupid and crooked. Probably a slippery slope too, but I'll stop with fucking stupid and crooked for now. Legal voters should be able to vote as easily as possible.
It's funny how the bloviated right champions the Second Amendment every chance it can, then tries to restrict voting rights, as though they were not protected as fundamental constitutional rights by the Fifteenth, Nineteenth, Twenty-Fourth, and Twenty-Sixth Amendments, among others. So much for caring about the constitution
Between that and giving fluodride nutjobbery the force and effect of state law, Utah is well and truly covering itself in glory these days.
Truly depressing.
For a conservative Republican state, Utah was managing to chart a somewhat Trump-free course with Mitt Romney, John Curtis and the rest of the Churtch of Latter Day Saints. But apparently the whip has been cracked.
On a point related to the fluoride nutjobbery, the NY Times had a piece today on how invermectin remains the cure all medication for MAGA health care providers (talk about an oxymoron). It has allegedly been linked to curing skin cancer, cervical cancer, autism, and of course,
COVIDthe China virus hoax.Yeah, I saw that NYT piece. Depressing as hell, but hey, maybe I can still make bank on an entepreneurial endeavor that involves investing in a drenching gun and traveling around the South charging $50 apiece for blasting trumpanzees in the face with sheep drench.
If you can get Tucker Carlson to do a product endorsement, you'll make a shitload of $$$.
Perhaps I’m too naive but I still believe Utah can chart a different way despite the setbacks. I’ve always considered Utah to be the only normal sane conservative state and while that may no longer apply presently, I think it can return to that title in a few years with new leadership and the inevitable waning interest in far-right ideologies. Mormons tend to be conservative but not right-wing freaks and I think if it wasn’t for the polarizing two-party system (where one is going far to the right), I can imagine many Utah and Mormon voters opting instead for center-right or even center-left parties with a Christian Democracy component to their platforms.
But for now, Utah is proving to be another Republican wasteland. And the voters will continue to elect people that will strip away their rights and return them to the feudal era. Let them suffer and keep choosing to shoot themselves in the foot. Let’s just stop subsidizing them from our taxpayer money that comes from blue states.
Remember, they still have Mike Lee who I believe is a genetic ideological twin of Ted Cruz.
And they just lost the hapless Mia Love who succumbed to cancer last week.
I recall that when she lost re-election in 2018, she was one of the RINOs (along with Mike Coffman) for whom Trump did a little happy dance celebrating their loses.
Probably the deciding factor differentiating Utah's Rinos from MAGA Rinos generally is that Utah mormons actually practice Christian values; that is, they try to emulate the historical Jesus Christ. This puts them at odds with the Trump and Musk cultists.
We can see this with evangelical Christians in general; take, for example, Supreme Court Justice Amy Comey Barrett. She is running afoul of the Trump cult because she espouses actual biblical values.
