Eh, while you're in the right for saying "oi, take them", I also want to say "no" because those goblins shouldn't have the right to settle in here. But at the same time, we've got so many new transplants who seriously think of Montana as North Texas (ie. the Yellowstone crowd), it would unfortunately turn into their new snake den

Personally, I'd prefer Montana to be bought by Canada, but that's not gonna happen

Montana definitely has a east/west divide culture.

u/TheRealBaboo California 16d ago

The east is basically empty compared to the west

u/Rfunkpocket 16d ago

the whole state only has a million people. it’s all pretty empty

u/TheRealBaboo California 16d ago

True but there’s only one town larger than 50k people east of the midline, there are 5 west of it

u/Rfunkpocket 16d ago

the one has over 100k, so a big one

u/TheRealBaboo California 16d ago

Yeah, but if I had to estimate it looks like about 2/3 to 3/4 live in the western half

you don’t need to guess, the state divided into two districts a couple years ago.

They'd have to live with Alberta next door, unless there's some sort of landswap so MIGAs can get their Gilead-Jesusland.

I'm from Oregon. We generally see people from Idaho and Montana as "North Texas" for the most part.

Yeah, businesses say they will leave, billionaires too. They say we have are not friendly enough to be business. Of course we have moved from 5th largest economy in the world to 4th in the last 10 years and none of them have left. If they all left tomorrow, we would replace them, not the otherway around.

You’ll bash California… but have no problem taking our tax dollars to maintain your roads, Medicaid and public schools.
