what replaces what medicine could do for those communities?
doTERRA, Young Living, Nu Skin, USANA, Melaleuca.. any number of health & wellness MLMs run by Mormon science-doubters for Mormon science-doubters
plus tons of women who know it's taboo to work outside the home but MLMs are coded as fine

if you're interested in fundie Mormons interacting with medicine and the taboo around that in those communities go ahead and read Tara Westover's 'Educated', her mom was basically a local medicine woman whose business made herbal home remedy kits for a whole region of the US

The polygamous town facing genetic disaster
In a remote region of the US, a town is struggling with a chilling health crisis caused by a recessive gene. The reason? Here, polygamy is still practised.
[From 2017] In every case, the child had the same distinctive facial features, the same delayed development, and they were from the same region on the AZ-UT border
In this small FDLS community the likelihood of being born with fumarase deficiency is over a million times above the global average.

SW Utah & N AZ happens to also be where the fundie-est of fundie Mormons hide out from governmental oversight, the ones that do the kind of intergenerational polygamy that causes genetic mutations
so yeah I'm guessing they're big time OG anti-vaxxers who treat measles with essential oils and prayer

I would love to see a breakdown of how many lies (or vague gaslighting statements) the current president tells each day
I read that it was
6 per day in 2017
16 per day in 2018
22 per day in 2019
27 per day in 2020
now what is it? is anyone tracking? it's basically **Oops! All Lies** at this point

in that sense they are right
the big bad guy they are imagining as the enemy leader is the worst parts of themselves projected onto another
in reality their opponents are just other humans, same as them, who have more tools for coping with low self esteem than just putting other people down

obvious parallels to "the devil", who toxic X-ians think is scary bad guy directing armies of demons from hell..
but healthier interpretations of the X-ian tradition are like 'no the devil is the *trauma* in all of us actually and you need to get to know yourself and face your hurt to heal'

it's so telling that the WH can't imagine a popular human movement without a leader as the face of it

assuaging their fragile egos that are propped up by the narcissistic supply they get from the underclass is their whole personality

"if only WE can take over the institutions and then they'll HAVE to listen to us!" is the strategy of dimwitted losers who frankly just canNOT function in a modern, egalitarian society where folks of many different backgrounds can get along IF ONLY they check their ego at the door

they believe that in that state of fear & panic they should be allowed to take over and force the result they need with the threat of violence or actual violence
