      1. The Mormon wariness of Trump is one of the single most revealing facts about Trumpism.

      2. In theory Mormons should be very pro-Trump: they are very white, very conservative, very Republican. Have been so for years.

      3. The one thing that separates out Mormons from white evangelical Protestants is Mormons have experience of being minority group.

      4. Numerically of course white evangelical Christians are also minority (indeed always have been). But they don't see it that way.

      5. In their imagination, white evangelical Christians see themselves as the real America. "The Moral Majority" (although under siege.

      6. To extent white evangelical Christians as persecuted minority ("war on Xmas") it fuel desire to return to hegemonic status.

      7. Mormons (rightly) don't see themselves as ever having been hegemonic, so can't share in "Make America Great Again" nostalgia trip.

      8. There's evidence what's true of Mormon is true (to lesser degree) of Catholics, who seem to like Trump less than earlier GOP candidates.

      9. Basically, degree you like Trump depends on how nostalgic you can be for older WASP ascendency.

      This is so unbelievably wrong. Mormons don't like Trump because they're uber-bourgeois virtue types,& he's Hefnerism https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/765329685555183616 …

      11. I don't deny many Mormons are uber-bourgeois, but so are many evangelicals. So why the split? Because Mormons are minority group.

          Mormons were refugees fleeing persecution. Trump's immigration and anti-Islam rhetoric offends.

          How does this square with Trump getting bigger support from those who don't attend religious services often?

          .@HeerJeet I don't discount their minority status, but morality key. Evangelicals have more divorces, Mormons less than average. As example.
