There are a category of things that are technically impossible until a burly man threatens to break your arm if you don't do them, and a category of things that are still impossible.

Doesn't help your arm, but when they're asking for things in that second category, it doesn't help them either.

But until you've broken their arm, you can't know which category you're in.

I remember talking about voting fraud with an indian friend. He said it was more overt in india - a burly guy would grab your finger and make it press the "correct" voting machine button.

No stranger to expecting to apply their morality to all people, even those who have a very different set of beliefs. Just a niche brand of christian nationalism seeking to subjugate everyone to their ways.

Most Mormons are not Christian nationalists and in fact tend to oppose such, especially in comparison to most red states and evangelicals.

Huh? Is this comment referring to something specific or is it just a general swipe at a religion that's unliked around here?

Government in Utah is essentially a Mormon theocracy. People voted for medical cannabis and the church lobbied and got the will of the people overturned. They have strange alcohol laws because their religion forbids alcohol. They're hostile to queer rights because their religion dictates such beliefs.
