(23,337 posts)Thankfully Missoula is still hippie blue. I dont think I could shoulder the redness of Montana if not for this refuge. I cant imagine why Don Jr. would be here other than the GOP is gunning hard for Jon Tester.

(23,337 posts)Youd think theyd visit a Montana city that wasnt blue. That said there are plenty of MAGAts here theyre pretty shy with their red hats these days however.

I did, on my journey east last week, encounter a pair of former rumpers. They were nice though that's their business they were genuinely nice. But J6 did it for them as the hubby is a vet. Still CS mongers but not voting for the orange guy.
I suspect there's more of that than many re willing to admit.

(66,462 posts)I mean, as a resident of Greater Seattle, I'm used to beautiful landscapes. But I'd like to visit Montana, and not have to deal with red-state horseshit the whole time.
Maybe someday...

Missoula is chock full of artists, writers and musicians and still feels like a small town. Im grateful to have raised my kiddo here.
Come visit sometime! Missoulians are lovely people.
