- #DezNat (shortened from Deseret Nation) is a Twitter hashtag that was created in 2018 by Logan Smith, a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) who goes by "JP Bellum" on Twitter. It refers to a loosely affiliated group of LDS Church members who use the hashtag. The Church does not endorse the hashtag and it is unclear how many followers or adherents of the DezNat concept exist. Contributors to media outlets The Daily Beast and The Daily Utah Chronicle have described DezNat as an extremist alt-right, white nationalist movement, while those at The Guardian consider the group right-wing with elements of the alt-right and white nationalism. Some members of the DezNat community wish to recreate the historical State of Deseret, which the LDS Church declared in the 1840s to cover modern-day Utah and parts of adjacent states, as well as the secession of a theocratic Mormon state. Some DezNat commentators have suggested this should be a white ethnostate. Some have also used neo-Nazi and far-right accelerationist imagery. Users of the hashtag say they are not alt-right but are simply unapologetic about their beliefs. DezNat supporters have no formal organization but they share a common ideology. Smith says the hashtag recognizes faithful LDS Church members as "a unique people and should be united spiritually, morally, economically, and politically behind Christ, the prophet, and the church" adding that 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". The community has been criticised as promoting bigotry and harassment against members of the LGBT community, non-Mormons and ex-Mormons, feminists, abortion advocates, and pornographic film actors. Some have criticized the Mormon blog By Common Consent for being too politically progressive. Members also use bowie knife imagery as a homage to Brigham Young and the concept of blood atonement for certain sins, a practice the LDS Church leadership has disavowed. According to the feminist writer Mary Ann Clements, DezNat proponents regard themselves as being in line with the actions of former church presidents, therefore not supporting polygamy today but referencing it regarding the past (e.g., by portraying Young as a polygamous "chad" or powerful alpha male).

- #DezNat (abrégé de Deseret Nation ) est un groupe de membres dévoués appartenant à l'Église de Jésus-Christ des Saints des Derniers Jours (LDS Church) qui a été créé en 2018 par un utilisateur de Twitter nommé JP Bellum. Il est largement considéré comme un hashtag nationaliste blanc de droite alternative américaine. Tanner Guzy, qui utilise le hashtag, a décrit le mouvement comme étant composé de membres de la SDJ «sans excuse quant à notre croyance en l'Évangile rétabli». Selon Bellum, «#DezNat n'est pas approuvé par l'Église LDS ou ses dirigeants. Au lieu de cela, c'est l'idée que les membres pieux devraient travailler ensemble pour soutenir l'église, ses doctrines et les uns les autres, sur les médias sociaux et dans leurs communautés pour construire davantage le Royaume de Dieu»; «#DezNat ou Nation Deseret est fondamentalement la reconnaissance que les membres fidèles sont un peuple unique et devraient être unis spirituellement, moralement, économiquement et politiquement derrière Christ, le prophète et l'église. Si tout gouvernement disparaissait demain, l'église remplirait ce rôle». La communauté #DezNat critique souvent les membres de la communauté LGBTQ, les apostats mormons, les acteurs de films pornographiques, ainsi que le blog mormon By Common Consent d'être trop progressiste. Certains membres de la communauté DezNat ont également exprimé leur soutien à la violence liée au concept de «expiation par le sang» (officiellement rejetée par l'Église LDS) contre les membres de ces groupes.
