No, they are utah based. Utah has a very specific mindset. Its neither better not worse, but distinct from the nation, and neighboring states, in a way hard to pin down. Yes, tons of mormons play a large factor, but does not encompass the whole distinction. Not every implication is nuanced or implying something large, often we just see something is going on beyond the normal noise.
I wanted to reply and add on to this, but you're already getting downvoted. Utah is a very strange place to do business, I'd almost argue it as sort of isolationist with a love for lawyers, so this makes complete sense.
