Not sure I would move to MT. It may lean conservative now but won’t for long as is the first time in like 20 years. It will keep trending to Colorado standards. If you do move I would definitely stay away from mountains! The eastern part is the gem!
Wrong again about the area ...( Im smiling.....see ???
)
I have lived in the northern mountains for many years and it is not at all as you think.
If I only went to ANC and said the same thing, I would be gravely wrong in judging the vast rest of the state....well same here.
Missoula is most often mentioned in being liberal , and with the University there, no wonder, like other universities in all other states.
BUT- I'm here to say, there are a huge amount of extremely Conservative folks who live within the town limits , as well as all the surrounding countryside. Every time I go there I see them at favourite places to go, the places packed with locals , most open carrying.
I do not throw the baby out with the bathwater . I LIVE here and see how the lions share of real Montanans live and feel. Every day.
As well as have an active finger on the pulse of the governor, AG, and others in office and in the MSSA...which entails all the gun clubs in the whole state as well as countless individuals who are rigidly upholding our Second A.
We have the best protective SA legislative gun laws in the country.
As our Jack has said , it's best to tackle rotten salmon in your own area before throwing them elsewhere ....
The mountains are great, as are the local hard-working, Constitution abiding citizens.
