(103,141 posts)Non-magats live. But there are enclaves of them and not every town and village is homogeneous. There are more businesses connected to outside interests and commerce yet still rural unless it's actual city limits. An example of some of the way things are here. We have open carry restricts in the state but only in cities ...if you aren't in a city, you probably have to drive a ways to get to one to have those restrictions apply.
Montana was purple until maga showed up, with some attention and pre-election help, it could be again. We got a nasty taste of the magat legislature this year, thankfully they don't go back into session until after this next election, most of the harm is done. So the litigation takes place in the interim. (The schedule for most legislatures out here is biannual.)
We need to retain Tester but the whole country needs to help us get rid of those imbeciles Daines, Zinke, rosendale and the body-slamming evangelical billionaire governor. They have too much outside $$ and their own bank accounts to fund their efforts. Far more than the GDP of the state. How are we supposed to overcome that on our own?
