I had an interesting conversation with one of my wife’s college friends a little over a month ago while the three of us we had dinner in Salt Lake.
Her friend has been an editor at Deseret News for more than a decade and is
1. A feminist
2. Unhappy
3. In her early 40’s, childless, and never married.
She had nothing good to say about Trump or conservatives (my wife is more conservative than I am) but she did recognize her job was dependent on her “towing the line” since the Mormons wrote her paycheck.
She was a fit, attractive woman but her outlook on life was so unbelievably depressing/desperate that I couldn’t imagine any man desiring more than a single date with her.
Dexter, sounds exactly like a gal I worked alongside in the newsroom at my TV station in Illinois so many years ago. She was a Chicago native and came across on the air as an unhappy single female. She moved on to Las Vegas to make other viewers unhappy.
My graduate experience at the U. of Utah (1985-87) was decidely more liberal than my first go round in 1977. The classrooms were filled with liberal assistants and professors. Students were protesting this and that just about every week. It was always the lib students, unkempt, with the high-top tennies and pants and shirts that never matched but actually clashed for effect.
They came to Utah to snowboard, hike, and spread their liberal disease. Uofortunately they stayed. I’d say the Utah Travel Council is to blame. Maybe the Travel Council should concentrate on atomic testing fallout tourism and see if that has a more positive effecton the trend to purple in CD 4.
