This week, @rachel_rueckert wrote about her own experience with the musical and her general exhaustion with how Mormonism is portrayed in popular culture/media—often by people with little or no connection to the faith. I recommend her piece: https://t.co/qKgoxhnWLZ — PolitiTweet.org

I write in the piece about how I felt compelled to be a good sport about the whole thing, and only later realized where that instinct came from. Many Latter-day Saints (and readers from other minority religions) told me they related. https://t.co/u9LSR7JSTO https://t.co/iSjtGzaalk — PolitiTweet.org

When @TheAtlantic published my piece about Mormonism last year, one of the parts that elicited the biggest response from fellow Latter-day Saints was my experience with the Book of Mormon Musical 1/ https://t.co/u9LSR7JSTO — PolitiTweet.org

@merrilymaralie My wife and I just spent like 5 minutes talking through the machinations of how this would have worked, and she concluded, "OK yeah I'm in." — PolitiTweet.org

As a quintessential moderate neolib shill, I admit that I tend to gravitate toward Insufferably Reasonable Takes. But some stories call for unhinged takes, and unhinged takes only. This is your time, lunatic take artists. Make the most of it! — PolitiTweet.org

Mike Lee holds a big lead in Utah's Republican primary. Evan McMullin, who is running as an independent, will be waiting for him on the ballot in the general—but to have any chance, McMullin will need the state's Democratic party to not field a candidate. https://t.co/Z5vtcFxL1O https://t.co/BIOlm6BvHy — PolitiTweet.org

Our pioneer ancestors were given the chance to prove their faith by uprooting their families and walking across the plains. Today's Latter-day Saints are given the 1:00 pm church slot. (IYKYK) — PolitiTweet.org

@michaelbd i stand corrected! i do think our industry has become lazy about grudge maintenance. i once got invited on a radio show and the host started the conversation by saying, "i think i'm mad at you but i can't remember why." — PolitiTweet.org

It can also just make people generally cynical and tired. Or as Hannah Arendt put it: "The aim of totalitarian education has never been to instill convictions but to destroy the capacity to form any." (There’s a reason she always gets quoted in these conversations!) — PolitiTweet.org

“It’s literally an issue my staff and I had never discussed, and they made an assumption that I don’t really care about daylight saving time. And I don’t know if I do! I’ve never taken five minutes to stop and think about it.” The world's greatest deliberative body in action! — PolitiTweet.org

So, it seems like the daylight savings thing was not a triumphant moment of bipartisan consensus and efficient government but actually just... kind of a mistake? https://t.co/ErdWmBxetw — PolitiTweet.org
