Some braying, in an article in a conservative magazine to which I was a charter subscriber — it has lately wandered too far into Trumpism for my taste — from a jackass named Eric Peters:

 

Utah Has Just Become Drier

 

 

I fully understand that Mormons and Mormonism will be an unavoidable part of any reasonably competent story about Utah laws and alcohol consumption.  But it seems to me that Mr. Peters went beyond that into genuine religious hostility.  Not very classy.  Especially before a Trumpist-leaning audience for some of whom mentioning Mormonism inevitably resembles waving a red flag in front of a particularly aggressive bull.

 

However, a few of the readers’ comments — especially those from Jordan Funk — are pretty good.
