Revealed: assistant attorney general in Alaska posted racist and antisemitic tweets

Going by the pseudonym "J. Reuben Clark" on Twitter, this man advocated jail time for parents who encourage transgenderism in their kids, and capital punishment for surgeons who enable them.

"Deseret Nationalists"? That's a thing?

Yeah, "DezNat" even has a Wikipedia entry. They're basically hard-right political conservatives whose mantra is to "Follow the Prophet" no matter what.

I used to follow him on Twitter before I deleted my account. This article from The Guardian is SUPER exaggerated and overblown. They have definitely twisted him in to something... almost as if we are in this point of time where the other side is desperate to find racist far-right extremists to call out so they can further their agenda. SO DESPERATE, as their narratives are falling apart all over the place.

I wouldn’t trust The Guardian. Just more propaganda.
The DezNat people are definitely a thing... I could never figure out exactly what they stood for. But they were harmless. Super dedicated to the church, conservative, TBM’s... but not woke. Definitely Brethrenites.
I’m sure the church will distance themselves from the group. They don’t fit the Good Global Citizen narrative.
The ironic thing is: the DezNats would defend the institution to their death if asked.

The Guardian is a left leaning newspaper based out of the UK...its quality of journalism is usually pretty good compared to comparable newspapers in the USA. But it is still a Labour supporting paper.

It was the Guardian that broke the Snowden story back in 2013.

And yes, DezNat is a thing, though many of the characteristics of the movement of maybe a few hundred people are quite overblown. I have a friend of mine who is a DezNat, a former mission comp of mine, and I agree with about 90 percent of what they say.

Which is odd, considering the current prophet/15 is/are anything but politically conservative or right-wing.

The same thought came to my mind. I am about as conservative as they come and I find a lot to disagree with the current church regime. I cannot foresee any possible circumstance under the sun in which I would give my life for Rustyco.

lol. Sounds like the feds to me.

I'm fairly open-minded to groups who wish to secede and govern themselves.

Thus I would be sympathetic towards DezNat if it wasn't so focused on the church. According to Wikipedia, they are alt-right and white-nationalist. I have no idea if that is true, since the woke says that about everyone and everything. If it is true, I'm not interested.

I'd say most of the DezNat guys are "racist" by the current pop-culture definition of the word, but almost none of them are anything close to white nationalists. Which is why I'm not particularly interested in them, as a whole.

Looks like another prominent "DezNat" guy has been doxxed and fired:
