@GovCox WWJD?

@NateForUtah I'm cautiously optimistic.

@slime_machine To me it's that the movement/combat is polished to a point where it's rewarding to play the game regardless of skill level. Reminds me of some 3D Mario's where you can enjoy the game casually, but the movement is deep enough that there's a decently high skill ceiling

[Beau Bayless @BeanBayless]

@NateForUtah This is as disconnected from the other side as I've ever felt. Numbers are objective. Regardless of my feelings on specific policies, it's just insane to add to the deficit to this level.

[Beau Bayless @BeanBayless]

@GovCox Sincerely can you please explain why we shouldn't be worried by how much this bill adds to the deficit? We don't even have to get into the weeds on specific policies, isn't it concerning to add so much to the deficit?

[Beau Bayless @BeanBayless]

@NateForUtah Am I crazy for thinking that it's okay for there to be vocal disruptions at a town hall? People have strong feelings about these things, why shouldn't they get to be loud about it sometimes?

[Beau Bayless @BeanBayless]

@jkimballcook They don't seem to care about judicial precedent lately either, so I think their concern for common law is on the way out.

[Beau Bayless @BeanBayless]

@NateForUtah Been saying this for years. If they're that mad about federal taxes they should be jumping at every opportunity to get federal money back in Utah.

[Beau Bayless @BeanBayless]

@LDS_Dems It mostly wins with moderates because we all play into the narrative.

[Beau Bayless @BeanBayless]

@LDS_Dems So they should make rules about what level of physical advantage is too unfair. Make it about fairness.

[Beau Bayless @BeanBayless]

@LDS_Dems I'm not even saying that there won't be times when a trans athlete should be prevented from participating for fairness, but I also don't think that's the case every time. This is so far from the top issue for fairness in women's sports that this is just transphobia.

[Beau Bayless @BeanBayless]

@LDS_Dems I honestly think it's too generous to say it's about fairness. They don't care about fairness when it comes to low income schools or inability to pay for private coaching or similar situations. They don't want fairness they just hate trans kids.

[Beau Bayless @BeanBayless]

@LDS_Dems Blanket bans shouldn't be a winning position. Heavy handed government is supposed to be unpopular with conservatives. If the right actually wanted to support women athletes they would do so consistently. They don't actually support women they just hate trans people.

[Beau Bayless @BeanBayless]

@LDS_Dems I don't understand how so many people have supposedly turned into single issue voters over this. The Republicans have so many "transparently bad ideas" yet people ignore them. I feel like this take ignores nuance and just normalizes transphobia which is what the right wants.

[Beau Bayless @BeanBayless]

@votereale @RobertGehrke The teachers I know that have been strict about no phones have had a LOT of pushback from students and even some from parents. Big fan of less phones/no phones, but it's going to take a lot of work for the student culture to actually shift.

@jkimballcook Choosing to love your neighbor isn't a position that should ever change.

[Beau Bayless @BeanBayless]

@votereale It's disappointing seeing how my reps voted and also seeing social media posts from my teacher friends. I know that my reps see those posts and talk to those teachers, and it hurts knowing that they're just choosing to ignore teachers (and parents, and students)

[Beau Bayless @BeanBayless]

@GovCox WWJD?

[Beau Bayless @BeanBayless]

@GovCox @SUUtbirds @USUAggies Looking at the other replies to this post I sincerely cannot understand why you are trying to appeal to people that will never support you instead of standing by what you once knew was right.

[Beau Bayless @BeanBayless]

@GovCox @SUUtbirds @USUAggies "Rarely has so much fear and anger been directed at so few." I miss the Governor we had two years ago.
