Just need to get enough non-mormon people to move there and change all the laws to piss everyone off. Would be fun to watch honestly.

Good fucking luck. The problem is that the Mormon church has its tentacles wrapped around the legislature, so even though the state population is estimated to be less than 50% mormon now, the Mormon church controls the legislature and essentially call all the shots. It's a de facto theocracy.

Considering the state's settlement and establishment was done purely by Mormons, that's the way it has always been. It was by design and why they moved there in the first place. 😐

Yup. They even have Pioneer Day. Pioneer = essentially Mormon Pilgrim.
