Ugh, such a shame. I've explored the length and breadth of MT (by car) several times . Western MT is such a beautiful place ... the mountains, lakes, wilderness, groovy college towns &etc. It never really used to feel radical-conservative to me, but from what you say, sounds like the Christian Fascists have really gotten out of control.
I'm on the other side of that cesspool of Northern Idaho from you. N. ID is a lot like MT in the beauty sense, but it's circling the drain in a "civil society" sense faster than anywhere else in the region. Billionaires got theirs - just watch all the private jet flights in/out of CdA and MSO and Kalispell on sites like flightradar24.com ... they'll be perfectly happy to have the local Poors getting dumb and dumber and at each others throats over manufactured culture-wars BS if it means they can eat and ski and screw around on the lakes at even less cost than now, all in ("elite") privacy of course. And yeah, the ID Poors/fascists/conspiracy-types got nothing better to do than to try to export their sad, pathetic lot to anywhere that seems "better off" (i.e. somewhat civilized). Sorry ya'll have to live through this shit.
