I also can’t give my neighbors absolution; it’s not mine to give. Free driveway work, as nice as it is, is just not the same currency as justice and truth. To pretend it is would be to lie, and they probably aren’t looking for absolution anyway.
everything is trump to these people, he really is living in their heads rent-free.
my husband shovels our neighbors' driveways all the time and except for one guy we know to be a fellow pede we have no fucking clue what their politics are, nor do we care. this idea that you can only do nice things for people who are in lock step agreement with you is such a leftist mindset.
People like this are so brainwashed that they are unwilling to consider that they may not know what justice and truth actually are.
Funny thing is that typically they’ll believe in postmodernism which denies that objective truth exists, which means everything is (supposedly) objectively false. So basically what she is complaining is that the neighbors don’t accept the correct false “truth claims” that “assert power” for social “justice” etc. “Truth” is redefined to mean “whatever asserts power in the correct way” even if it’s objectively provably false.
LOL - not SLC (I lived deep in Sugarhouse at the time, which made the whole thing even odder).
You might see sanity up North, around the Layton and Ogden areas; Hill AFB tends to de-mormonize things, yet has enough military families around to keep it at least somewhat based (my wife is from around there). Just don't go too far south or north from there - Kaysville/Bountiful is hard LDS Central, as is Logan/Brigham City. Provo is prolly still the hardest-Mormon of them all.
Been almost a couple of decades since I last lived there though, so take it all with a grain or forty of salt :)
Stuck in SLC this place is insane. It's as blue as Portland now. And the surrounding area has the ward issues.
Where can someone move to just be normal?
rural Texas
From the article (this writer has peak TDS):
Why would they seek absolution or anything else from this godless creature? Ugh

They are noncognitive dissidents stricken with cognitive dissonance.
And they say it's not a religion.
They’re already deplorable and irredeemable, so fuck this guy’s absolution.
It would be fun to meet this slag in person, see what such a raging xxxx looks like.
Who not only thinks this tripe but actually writes it, then makes it public?
Seattle is filled with this type.
Florida
Salt Lake is pretty bad these days. I'm about an hour north, I'm non-mormon and the community is great.
Doesn't Utah have the fastest growing White population? The Mormans have been breeding like rabbits lately.
Lately.
West Virginia, anywhere but Charleston, Morgantown, or Martinsburg.
I’d argue Morgantown is fine, it’s just the college students.
All I know is I went there for a WVU game and one of the churches had a fag flag
I'm in SoCal (for now) and have just learned to ignore or ridicule them while forming my own little enclave of like-minded peeps.
But the real answer is you have to get away from the grid to find people who aren't all caught up in this ridiculous ideology.
Example: I visited the Philippines not long ago. Couldn't stand anything about Manila, but loved everyone I met in the outer islands.

I lived in sugar house about 10 years ago and my jaw dropped driving through there a month ago. The construction is insane.
They’ve always Been hippie liberals, but they’ve cranked it up to 11.
