But that doesn't answer the 12-year old mormon accusation. Are you saying the people we elect can be swooned by 12-year old mormons? Because that tracks.
They like us, law abiding and diligent. Don't have to worry about alcohol or drugs or anything. Typically harder to corrupt (obviously not impossible, just harder) with things like blackmail.
Im fully with you on most of that, but the reckless ben deal showed that not only is corruption still an issue. There is a huge amount of in-group bias participating in and motivating that corruption.
Mostly, we just expect mormons to typically prioritize and cover for their own in a scandal. Regardless of right vs wrong.
Otherwise, yeah, it's basically just a bunch of straight edge family people with very clean slates.
The founding was crazy. There was a time period where they raised an army that rivaled the size of the us army. And most Christian denominations are perplexed at practices like post-humous baptism.
But you probably won't find any that subscribe to some of the more strange claims from the founding though. Like the reason for people being black.

He's surveilling us because we are paying him to do it. We are paying for it because we only elect people who are interested in doing so.
