As an homage to “Awash in a Sea of Faith: Christianizing the American People,” by Jon Butler, this session explores how Mormons managed to overwhelmingly vote for a candidate that is decidedly against all their sensibilities and values. It will also explore why a minority of Mormons conscientiously didn’t, drawing parallels to Mormon political history. Included will be research on the impact fabricated news played in the election by Jeff Green.
