I’m kinda surprised at how long Fox has stuck by Tucker, even just from a business standpoint. isn’t MyPillow like the only advertiser he has left?

yeah, most of the big names that have gone down did so because they thought fox news needed them more than they needed fox news, which has proven to be universally wrong

tucker doesn't seem likely to go off and try to either go mainstream or make his own network, he seems to understand the game he's playing

An independent Mormon-aligned candidate got 20% of the Utah vote in 2016. Utah going the way of Quebec is a real possibility.

Utah used be a Mormon Zionist state called Deseret. They had their own paramilitary and even engaged in a "war" with the federal government. If the US ever balkanized I'd expect it to be one of the first states to separate right up there with California and Texas. Despite the overall drop in religiosity Mormons are still a majority there and Utah is still considered their holy land.

One of my favorite sci-fi writers, LE Modesitt, wrote that story. "The Parafaith War" features conflict between a high-tech environmentalist society trying to live with minimal consumption and a religious empire trying to expand and multiply as rapidly as possible. The empire is transparently based on Mormonism.

Entirely unrelated to Mormonism, one of my fav sci-fi series is the Hyperion Cantos by Dan Simmons and I love that the villains of the second half of the series are the Catholic church brought back from irrelevance because they found a cross shaped parasite that can bring you back from the dead.
