Our current politics calls to mind a passage from my favorite Shakespeare play — “Julius Caesar” — where Antony proclaims: “O judgement thou art fled to brutish beasts and men have lost their reason.”
And thus I question some of my MAGA Mormon friends: Have you suspended your own articles of faith? Paraphrasing: “We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men. All may worship how, where, or what they may. We obey, honor and sustain the law.”
It seems to me that many of our Utah Republicans have become Trump sycophants to further their own political aspirations. Our governor has fallen prey to this situation. Our own senator, MAGA Mike, likened Trump to Captain Moroni. If there is a Moroni I can imagine the captain spinning in his grave.
Why would these leaders who we elected to represent us lose reason and judgment to favor a man who is antithetical to their own fine belief system?
