DezNat (shortened from Deseret Nation) is a group of right-wing secessionist Latter-Day Saints who wish to reestablish the State of Deseret as a theocratic Mormon country. It originated as a Twitter hashtag, and was founded by Logan Smith (who goes by "JP Bellum" on Twitter). They advocate for traditionalist Mormonism and political conservatism.
Smith argues that members of the LDS Church are "a unique people and should be united spiritually, morally, economically, and politically behind Christ, the prophet, and the church". According to Bellum, DezNat "is the idea that devout members ought to work together to support the church, its doctrines, and each other, on social media and in their communities to further build the Kingdom of God".
DezNat is known for their opposition to LGBT people, ex-Mormons, atheists, feminists, abortion advocates, porn actors, and Liberal Mormons. Critics describe them as "Alt-Right" and "White Nationalist", and accuse them of using "Neo-Nazi" and "Far-Right Accelerationist" imagery, although most members of the DezNat movement deny such accusations.
DezNat is also influential within right-wing meme culture, with their members portraying LDS Church figures like Joseph Smith and Brigham Young as being "chads" and "alpha males". Notable members of the movement include Utahan U.S. Senate candidate Sam Parker, and former Alaskan Assistant Attorney General Matthias Cicotte.
