Maybe. It’s still the most Republican state in the union. Including all Southern states. You want it gone?

That’s arguable

It depends on the election

Judging by state legislature composition I think you’re right

But Oklahoma and WestVirginia went heavier for Trump

Mormons have gone wobbly no question

Especially on homosexuality and borders

Any way you stack it, we need them. Plenty of Southern states are going wobbly, too.

But no ban on transvestites reading stories to children in public libraries? That is clearly conversion ‘therapy’.

Seems to be strong line of Scandinavian stock in the LDS core. At least it looks that way here were I live. Makes sense they are so easily swayed left, even though the two (Mormonism and leftism) seem to be so inherently incompatible.

Another thought, besides the strong Scandinavian bloodlines.

Mormons, in the inner sanctum, tend to be extremely well off and comfortable-ripe pickins for leftism. Comfortable women with 7 kids who spend in ordinate amounts of time in their kids school and in their wards with other women.

Common sense would tell you that'd be a breeding ground for conservativism and protecting what they have. On the contrary, it always seems to be a breeding ground for control freak leftoid causes women take to like fish out of water.

Virginia has degenerated into a progressive Yankee state
Virginia is for the loveless

There is nothing at all ‘discredited’ about this.

Wow. Not one mention of an opposing view. Garbage article and I’m glad I only skimmed it.
