In Utah, a little army is getting signatures for a petition to allow the GOP to gerrymander the state even more than it already is. They are lying through their teeth--as policy, apparently--telling people the petition is anti-ICE. A network of people has stepped up to follow them around and inform people about what they're actually signing.

Also: They mention Sarah McConkie. I think maybe I dated her aunt in college.

There are McConkies everywhere. That's one of the OG Mormon families, so there's polygamy in there, too.

@katrinakatrinka I dated a McConkie at BYU, so yes. There are at least half a dozen Sarah McConkies on FB, even. This one might be the daughter or daughter-in-law of one of the sisters of the woman I dated, or possibly a cousin (and those can get distant because McConkies of millennial-type age probably number in the hundreds, if not the thousands).

I am not inclined to ask my former gf or her sister (FB acquaintances, still) if this is one of their daughters, nieces, or daughters-in-law, because the McConkies I know on FB are very careful to mention only sweetness, light, and the trivialities of suburban LDS life. I assume this means they're in with MAGA.

I wouldn't automatically assume they're MAGA from that. It's far more likely they're doing an MLM. Utah is, after all, the affinity fraud capitol of the US.
