The GOP wasn't founded until the early 1850s, so they didn't drive us from the US: that was the Democrats and the Whigs. And when the US gov't came in 1857 to take control of the 'Mormon problem' the GOP still wasn't in control. They gained control under Lincoln in 1860.

So, not 100% true. But you are right about Satan being non-partisan. Both the Dems and the Repubs later on have pursued votes at the expense of the Mormons. Even as late at 2008.
