The strongest case on each side of every major political topic — with the Latter-day Saint canon and official Church teaching placed between them, sorted by which direction each source actually pulls. Each topic runs in three stacked blocks. First, the two secular cases side by side — the progressive case (Krugman, Warren, Coates, Klein, Alexander, Reich, McKibben) on the left, the conservative case (Sowell, Shapiro, the late Charlie Kirk, the Daily Wire bench, Peterson, Carlson, Prager, Levin, Hanson, Murray) on the right, each closing with a direct rebuttal of the other. Beneath them, the Latter-day Saint sources that pull the same two directions, aligned under the case each one strengthens. Beneath those, a full-width band for the sources that pull toward the center — which, on several questions, is where the Church has actually planted itself.
Who carries each secular case. The Latter-day Saint blocks have no commentators — only sources.
A closing note on honest reading. The outer columns are advocacy at full strength; nearly every empirical claim in both is genuinely contested, and where they disagree about facts, at least one is wrong — not always the same one. The Latter-day Saint blocks are a different kind of claim and carry a different risk: sorting revelation by its resemblance to a 2026 American party platform is an anachronism performed deliberately, and every placement here could be argued. Several passages appear in more than one block because they honestly belong there. The pattern that emerges is worth stating plainly — the Restoration's sources are communitarian about property, traditional about family, anti-coercive about power, universalist about neighbors, and institutionally reluctant to legislate. That combination maps onto neither American party, which is less a finding about politics than about how recently the parties were assembled.
