We don’t always live up to the best of our religion’s teachings, but we have internalized some beautiful values for which we are grateful and which have guided our decisions in life.

Are Mormons Preppers? Why and where and for how long do they stockpile goods? Why is this, is there an eschatological reason?

Mormons are one of the most reliably Republican demographics in the United States, and have been for a good 50 years or so. In normal campaign seasons, Republican candidates often take the Mormon vote for granted and Democratic candidates usually decide it’s not worth expending effort in heavily LDS areas where they are guaranteed to lose anyway. The last few presidential election cycles, however, Mormons have been in the spotlight far more than normal.

Mormonism has certainly had its share being misunderstood and misrepresented throughout its almost 200-year history often as a “single story” about Mormons became the only story in popular culture, news, or politics

Salt Lake City, Utah was founded in 1847 when Mormon pioneers first settled the area, and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has been headquartered there ever since.

Kelly, who was excommunicated from the church last year after advocating for the inclusion of women in the all-male LDS priesthood, told the crowd: “If you stay, you should raise hell,” she said. “I think you have a moral imperative to make it a better place for children and especially for girls.”

Mormons lean more heavily toward the Republican Party than any other major demographic group — whether clustered by race, age, gender, educational attainment or religion.
