    There have been a few shows/movies recently that have kind of explored this time and place in US history, and it’s some really interesting shit. Mormon militias and what not.

    • I can’t remember the name of the documentary I watched unfortunately but this kinda shit is still going on in northern Mexico. A bunch of Mormons packed up to Mexico when the US made polygamy illegal. They’ve got compounds and militias, and occasionally battle with local cartels.
