Well Utah is 63% Mormon, so if 22% of the electorate voted for McMuffin (and presumably some non-Mormons voted for him too) then there is not the lockstep obedience that would characterize a cult. I’m no fan of Mormonism, not by a long shot, but McMuffin would have done a lot better there if there was such rigid obedience.
The church leaders attempted to sway their members, making it a cult. If not all followed, that doesn’t mean it’s not.
And I wasn’t even speaking of the final election, but of the primary where their church was backing illegals and Muslims, right after Trump came out putting Americans first.
