There are currently multiple heated discussions on this platform in which anonymous weirdos debate whether or not I should be allowed to be a member of the Church.
What a waste of time.

I’m seeing a lot of handwringing from people saying, essentially, that they hate Trump, but they don’t like Maine and Colorado disqualifying him, because it would be better to “beat him at the ballot box.”
No, it wouldn’t. And here’s why.

Fact is, we already beat him at the ballot box. Legitimately. Decisively. And he and his followers have spent three years denying that reality. And people are dead because of it.
We underestimate how much evil has been normalized as a result.

But it’s more than just the insurrection of 1/6. It’s that the constant barrage of Trump’s reflexive dishonesty has eroded the very nature of truth for roughly 40% of the country.
We no longer share a common set of facts. It makes it impossible for reason to carry the day.

The language of the Constitution is crystal clear. There’s a reason we didn’t give the Confederacy a chance to be defeated at the ballot box. Once you cross the line into insurrection, you’re too dangerous to be given that option.

So I welcome the disqualifications. Every state should follow suit. The Supreme Court should uphold it. We have tolerated this anti-constitutional fascist for far too long. We are in violation of the Constitution if we continue to do so.

They won’t. 1/6 wasn’t just a one-off. It was a trial run. Trump is a fascist, and 1/6 was his attempt to burn down the Reichstag. The fact that he’s an incompetent fascist doesn’t mean we should give him a handful of matches to let him try again.

The horrors that Trump has perpetuated would have been unthinkable as recently as a decade ago. Can you imagine a universe where Mitt Romney dealt with his 2012 loss by instigating a riot at the Capitol? Or even if Hillary Clinton has refused to concede in 2016?

So what makes anyone think that a Trump defeat in 2024 will do anything but exacerbate the problem? Who on earth thinks that the 40% who still think 2020 was stolen will accept a legitimate defeat in 2024?

Trump is that dangerous. He has proven that time and again. And he no longer even tries to pretend that he will follow constitutional norms if re-elected. He has already called for the suspension of the Constitution. Why give him a chance to do that?

Not at all. Putting Trump on the ballot is unconstitutional, based on the plain language of the Constitution itself. What would be illegal is to ignore the Constitution out of fear.

Dear fellow Latter-day Saints:
What are the odds that the “one religion under God” he’s talking about is going to include you?
You know the answer, right?
Right?

Covenanting not to speak evil of the Lord's Anointed is not covenanting to defend systemic failures that enable sexual abuse. If defending the Church is more important to you than protecting innocent children, you're doing it wrong.

People who leave the Church do not cease being children of God. And I’m sure our Heavenly Parents love their children at least as much as I love mine.

You know who’s going to separate the wheat from the tares? Jesus. At the Second Coming. According to the parable, the wheat and the tares grow together until then. Driving people out of the Church doesn’t separate the wheat from the tares. It just makes the Church smaller.

A reminder that Donald Trump committed sexual assault. This has been proven in a court of law.
As a general rule, decent people don’t give their votes to people who have been proven to be sexual predators.
Kaplan, to prospective jurors: "it has been determined already that Mr. Trump did sexually assault Ms. Carroll, that he knew when he made the statements about Ms. Carroll that the statements were false, that he made them with reckless disregard to whether they were true or false"
