Well, I can’t address specifics that I don’t have. Still, in my experience, ex-Mormons tend to be quite hostile in their outlook toward the LDS Church. I would suspect that they are telling you some things that are filtered through that lens.
In my case, I’m grateful that I’m a Mormon. It has brought me many blessings and happiness in my life.
In any case, whether or not one agrees with LDS theology, Mormons tend to have pretty conservative outlooks on life. I’m sure the vast majority of us would agree with you politically.

I am sorry to note that you separate yourselves from non-Mormons, (us and you) as though you are in a different class or even race, is in itself revealing. So there’s no need to say more. Thank you for the little chat.
