Just returned from a two day visit to Utah…

Just a few notables between Utah and Ca.
The people there..meaning complete strangers at various businesses were ALWAYS genuine and warm toward us. We felt like family no matter where we went.
The Walmart there had a sign that said “ mothers room” directing busy and nursing mothers to a room just for them. It did not say “birthing persons” room.
We didn’t see even ONE graffiti sign or one single homeless person. The roads were all in great shape and well cared for..as did all the infrastructure. And we were the majority. Not the minority. What California refers to as “minorities?”
We saw just a few at most. I had completely forgotten what that felt like. My husband was often referred to as “Sir” and most everyone we saw smiled at us and were polite with good manners. Even the younger adults! It was quite an experience.
Oh! And the local news..had “top stories” of storms and noise ordinance
Complaints on vehicles with loud exhausts, like motorcycles. No stories of murders, rapes, robberies etc. Gun stores advertising sales on ammo and Walmart had both ammo and shotguns for sale! And when I say ammo..I’m not talking about ammo locked behind a plexiglass cabinet in cases. I’m talking about boxes of open ammo sitting on easily accessible shelves.
It was like going back in time about 50 years. Almost surreal. No exaggeration.

Again..why so angry. You don’t even know me. And yet you say “people like you” makes no sense. I treated your state as the visitor I was, with respect. Spent hard earned money at your many businesses and cleaned up after myself. Even tipped housekeeping at our hotel. Tbh…you would be lucky to have me and my husband as a part of your beautiful state. We really are good decent people.

Generally I just place them on the ignore list. But wanted to make sure this one doesn’t actually live in Utah and really feel this way.

Thank you! Just put an offer in on a house. Hoping to hear something tomorrow. Even if we get over bid..I’m sure we will find the right home for us. Definitely feeling a strong pull to relocate to St. George:)

Come to Oklahoma. We are a Red State. Housing is still affordable and so are food and gas prices. We would welcome more Conservatives...

I’m sorry to hear that. The good people of St. George didn’t give me that impression.

Anyone here live in Utah? I just want you to know how much your state impressed me and gave me hope for this country. It felt like a political and social oasis to me compared to the sea of corruption and over regulation that CA has become..from the top down.

Good! Now get yer ass back to CA asap!

In that case I’ll be the degree that changes your mind about such blanket statements.
Mother of 3, grandmother of 7. Son proudly serving this country, has done three tours so far.
Conservative God fearing woman who loves this country.
And I try to treat others the way I would want to be treated.

Hope that takes me out of your “Nth degree”

Already am. It was just a fact finding mission for a future move. I would add that even when folks knew we were from CA..they still
treated us with respect and seemed genuinely interested in what part of CA we were from.

that's Mormons.

I moved to Idaho under the same mis-impression.

Mormons are always pleasant and nice to your face.

That’s good enough for me. Especially as a new comer. Hopefully in time..they will judge my actions and my character rather than my beliefs.

Why are you thinking of moving out of California?

He probably got the vaxx.

a foolish thought.

if you're not a Mormon, you're a second class citizen
and will be treated that way, especially in a smaller
town. you won't get employment, and you'll lose
any legal conflicts.

good luck.

Glad you survived enjoyed your stay.
Mormons have a lot of dark secrets.

The Ute Reservation is a bit... shall we say 'Hills have eyes'.

Either that or just trolling or both maybe?
