True story...
There was a fella, moved from CA to the Bitterroot about 30 years ago, some acreage. He built himself a gun range on his land, and let his neighbors know about it. No late night or early morning shooting, just a daytime thing. Next thing he knows, the Sheriffs Office shows up stating his 'neighborly neighbors' complained about the gunfire. The SO was just informing him of the complaint, that nothing was against the law, and they had no problem with the gunrange and gunfire. Seems they were all 'out-of-staters' bitching about the other guy. Brought their attitudes and mindset with them when they carpetbagged to Montana. THAT is the problem, Copper. They bring that shithead act with them. The same act that turned whereeverinthehell they came from so unbearable, they HAD to move. So they come to Montana and shit in our pool.
Another true story, about a Anesthesiologist who was sucking up/buttering up some old rancher because he wanted to buy some of his land when it was up for sale. Well, it did come up for sale. The rancher called the Doc and said some Californian had just sold his pathetic ranch style house for big bucks, and, with this windfall, his offer was better than the Doc's.
The carpetbaggers can sell everything and move to Montana(or wherever), but they bring their mindset/beliefs with them. Seems they can uproot and move, but what they uprooted, and brought with them, are weeds. The weeds of their mental outlook. There are warning placards all over Montana pointing out the noxious weed problem and how to keep it from spreading. I was on the career trial for 20-30 years, and when I finally returned to Montana, the physical features remained, but where we used to recreate there are signs: No Trespassing, No motored vehicles, no this, no that.
Missoula used to be a quiet, conservative town in the summers, after the students left. When I returned for the first time, about 20 years after graduation, the town had changed to what it is now. Pathetic and sad. The same thing is happening to Blowsman now. The noxious carpetbagger problem has not been recognized. Carpetbaggers totally destroyed the South after 1865. Maybe a wall isn't such a bad idea after all. Works on the Mexican border. Could work in Montana. The 1970s Montana was better than the 2020 Montana

Did I hear correctly that the cancel cult is after Mr Chode because he refuses to wear a mask? Apparently it interferes with his sweet goateebigsky33 said:

Keep going, your doing all Montanans proud.
We Montanas are raised from a young age to make jokes about North Dakotans. I grew up thinking all states must have North Dakota jokes, and it turns out they do!
When I was 8, my favorite went something like this:
A Montanan, and Idahoan, and a North Dakotan we’re going on a trip to the desert. The Montanan said, “we’re going to get thirsty, so I’ll pack some water.” The Idahoan said, “we’re going to get hungry, so I’ll pack some food.” The North Dakotan said, “we’re going to get hot, so I’ll pack a car door to roll down the window.”

Here is one you for sure will understand.
Two Montanans are walking in Missoula and along the side of the road see a sheep stuck in a fence, one fellow asks the other "you know what time it is" the other replies "no,what time is it?" The first replies "it's mountain time"

:lol: I hadn’t heard that one before.
Here’s one of the more well known ones:
Three North Dakotan chicks walk into a bar. The bartender goes, “Hey, get the fuck out of here.” So the chicks were all fat about it and complained in that dumb fuck accent while walking out as tuba music played.

They wouldn't own businesses there if they didn't love the city.
But I get it, you don't like Seattle's politics. I just think that's the stupidest- ass reason not to like a place, but perhaps that's just me. I don't agree with China or Russia on literally anything, but Shanghai and Moscow are two of the coolest places I've ever visited.

Autonomous Zones? Boarded up and occupied police station? Homeless occupying public parks and protected from removal? Needle distribution without exchanges?
But, it is a pretty place - we agree on that. Loved my time at Fort Lewis.

Seattle is a phenomenal city with a ton of culture and great food. It has some crap areas like any city and it could be deemed “liberal in its politics”. The geography around it is incredible. To classify a whole area as bad (just like California) takes stereotyping to the max. The military bases in the area aren’t even in Seattle and would be closer to Tacoma and Olympia, which have different politics. I don’t care for certain parts of New York City, Dallas, Atlanta, or L.A. There are parts of Montana that aren’t overly appealing. Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water people.
EverettGriz said:
shanghai is so different from the rest of china that even people in china don't consider it a 'mainland city'. the architecture is pretty wild, though, and the food is pretty good. also, i assume your visit went something like this (?):

Great post, Cop. But you and I are not nutjobs who base every decision on politics. I mean, it'd be like me saying, "Florida is a shithole because The Villages is filled with KKK and white nationalists. Ridiculous.

See my post directly below yours. I'm like 97% of Americans (e.g. not political nutjobs) who view life in its entirety. Just fine with those of you who don't like it though. I'm more than happy to keep additional nutjobs out.
EverettGriz said:
It's a nutjob that dismisses local government, taxes and their attitude toward law and order and the safety of their citizens. That's a bit more than politics, but if that branding facilitates your dismissal, knock yourself out. I would like to see data indicating a 97% approval rating for Seattle today.

Good Lord EG. No one is asking you not to like the place. "Nut jobs" who don't care for it have nothing to do with you. Have a cool beverage and enjoy the day. Sheesh.
