i am not going to lie, i thought after voting to impeach trump and going to blm protest he was gonna switch parties aswell. I'm under no illusion that would've made him good, but there are a lot of shitty dems out there. what's one mitt romney? still, not a huge shock my prediction didn't come true lol
Libs in Utah are constantly falling over themselves to suck Mitt's toes for his acts of theater like voting to impeach Trump or marching with BLM, but the fact is his actions never back up these performances. He's a multi millionaire Mormon Republican, he's always going to rule in favor of his class interests. It stuns me that people are fooled by him.
The democratic voters in the state are a tiny fraction of the people there and are generally speaking younger than the general US population. The older mormons are all registered republicans and aren't voting in any sort of democratic primary.
But they dont care about policy. Saying trump is bad is enough to get back in the libs good graces, so I thought he was posturing to switch to the Democratic party meanwhile changing nothing about his policies. It's been a fantastic grift for others, I think it would've worked for him.
He’s able to be more anti trump because Mormons are one of the few right wing Christian groups that actually don’t like Trump, but Romney still will follow the GOP line.
He's able to be anti trump because there's a mormon prophecy about political advancements of the Romney family among others in US politics. People are voting for that, not for anything ideological.
I don't think he's the only one, but he's the only one where it's actually mattered in an electoral sense. There are a few people in the house who've become more radicalized in their approach to these things although like is the case with republicans under Trump, it was really what they always believed, but feared the consequences of speaking up.
Romney is a religious zellot with ties to the very top of the Mormon Church. Him winning the presidency was supposed to fulfill some major religious prophecy for them. He's a conservative through and through, if anything it would be easier to change his outlook on issues of the economy than it would on many of these social issues.
It's really just that the ways in which he's a moderate have simply just flown out the window during the Trump years for the rest of the party. The previous analysis was to move away from chauvinistic rhetoric but the opposite happened.
