The "flaws" (and that's doing a lot of work there) don't diminish the magnitude of what they managed to do but it does (or at least should) change one's analysis of it.
"We Mormons are very friendly people." "No. Pretty unfriendly, really. But it's the way you're unfriendly, like you're doing me a favor."

Grown men are going to cry when CENTCOM releases footage of an F-14 getting destroyed.
Surely you guys could have picked a better headline than that.
Ah yes, patriarchy, truly the "Doctrine Everybody's Afraid to Say Out Loud" in the LDS church.
I like how Nephi is really obviously Joseph Smith's self-insert character.
I think they'd find it in their heart to find a loophole.
R.e. Elon Musk turning to Christ, I think the LDS church would be a great denomination for him.

"A Man Without a Country" is so great.
Well that's nice for him. His reading's still wrong.
Progressive BYU professor: "Ezra Taft Benson"
I don't mean to be rude, but my take is that this is a complete misreading of the text in an attempt to obfuscate it's racist content. Just that screenshot alone is wrong. A few verses earlier (12-13) it is clear that the remnant refers to the Lost Tribes, not the Lamanites.
I found this one that has some more stuff. Notable, 33% of LDS respondents said true American patriots may have to resort to violence to save the country, the highest of all religions surveyed. prri.org/research/cha...
100% that's what happened. I'd be curious how differently this would look with questions like the one you have above or "Was the U.S. Constitution inspired by God" or "Should Christian values inform the laws of the United States."
I'm not sure what you're referring to in this context.
These beliefs became more mainstream in Protestantism in the early 20th century. In a sense, Joseph Smith was one of the original American White Christian Nationalists. These ideas existed before him, but he was ahead of the curve in synthesizing them into a coherent ideology.
The section of this paper "Religious Nationalism in the United States: Its Sources and History" gives a good overview of White Christian Nationalism, and most if not all of the beliefs are lockstep with Mormonism.

It's pretty fun that no matter whether somebody comes at an apostate from a progressive or a conservative angle it always boils down to "you didn't pay enough attention" or "you had a bad bishop."
Genuinely surprised that the number isn't higher given that Christian Nationalism is baked into the core beliefs of the religion, more so than other Christian groups.

I tested a hammer on my skull and reportedly felt symptoms similar to Havana syndrome.
My Idaho relatives would blame California for the smoke caused by forest fires in the state.
And they say apostates no longer have The Gifts of the Spirit.

Things were better when learning about these big speculative ideas involved reading a 600-pg sci fi novel.
Musk pivoting from one thing that's definitely not going to happen (Mars city) to a thing that is, shockingly, even less likely to happen (mass drivers to build O'Neill Cylinders and a Dyson Swarm) shows that we're in late-stage Howard Hughes territory.
