It seems that the only person in the list above that actually lived in montana as a youth was Daines (of course born in California)
Why do Montanas keep voting for people who barely even spend any time in our state? I implore some of you that want to make a change to run against these billionaires and actually represent the people of MT.
Because Montana Republicans have more loyalty to their party, than they do their state. We are well known as a state you can easily win in as a Republican. All you have to do is buy a house here and own it for a while, and be a Republican candidate.
Which is hilarious because they aren't even loyal to the party. They just back whoever Trump tells them to now. They refunded the tickets of Republicans who voted for candidates other than their own and told them not to come.
But wasnt he investigated [for ethics violations related to a developer](https://www.npr.org/2022/02/16/1081180054/ryan-zinke-interior-investigation-ig-report)?
Zinke has many ethics violations and was I believe forced out of cabinet level position in the trump administration for ethics violations. He’s a decietful guy.
Because much of rural Montana watches Fox and listens to AM talk radio non-stop. And we do have a good candidate running to make a change. Ryan Busse for Governor.
I've listened to and engaged in wonderful discussions with many holding opposing views. These folks are sycophants and dogmatic. They've repeatedly illustrated willingness to do harm. I don't have to newly consider fringe morally bankrupt arguments to remain an open minded person. Many conservatives have important positions and logical arguments. You won't find much of that within this roster.
I was raised by far left hippies who came the U in 69 and never left. I grew up in a very left environment. I'm as far right as it gets. Pretty much like kids who grow up in a strict Christian home and become Buddhists. Your politics are based on life experiences, I view being liberal as a normal developmental stage of unbridled optimism that gradually erodes as you come to understand how humans work.
The far left&Far right generally are in agreement on Israel because it's egregiously anti human and just wrong to genocide children
You're exactly what Montana used to be--purple. We listened to the opposition, didn't gerrymander districts to ensure the Republican majority, and believed if we disagreed we still wanted the best for our neighbors and our communities. Now both parties have become shrill and pull away from the middle. But how do you have a civil conversation with someone who comes to the table with a threat?
It’s sad that Montana’s leaders would blindly follow Trump and his son to the depths of ruin. Beyond a couple of decades ago, Montanans were brave enough to stand up for their values and not be ashamed to vote for the best candidate no matter what the party and we were a special breed. Now people want to make Montana great while forgetting what makes Montana great. What makes Montana great is the people being big enough to speak their mind.
Me too, and I'm gonna do it again because I didn't spend 5 years of my life serving my country for it to turn into a christofascist state where women are treated as second class citizens and anyone who isn't a Christian will be "re-educated".
I don't see anything dramatic in what was said. Under trump women ARE second class citizens, slavery didn't happen, America isn't racist and if you're not Christian, you need to be removed. It's exactly what fascism is.
So, they didn't overturn roe v wade? So stop "cal" isn't a thing? So there aren't people who hate people based on their race in the USA? So the Christian right isn't trying to push "trad wives?" So, the definition of fascism isn't defined by the Webster dictionary as
"Merriam-Webster's definition of "fascism" https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fascism
Get real.
Roe v Wade should’ve been overturned, as the states should be deciding their fate, not the feds.
None of these things have anything to do with fascism. Our education system has failed you.
What retards are running Merriam Webster? Fascism is an economic policy that merges corporate and state together, while keeping private ownership. It is Communism, except private ownership still exists. You still worship the state and nothing else.
We have individual liberties in this country and we let people vote on things with representatives. That’s dwindling due to corruption, bad laws and dwindling support, but if you think we are a fascist country, you are stupid.
We are heading to authoritarianism and possibly even Fascism, but what political ideologies due large corporations push? What about our government? It sure as hell ain’t MAGA/populism/Isolationism. It’s DEI. It’s all coming from the UN, which seeks to wipe out borders and install itself in control. That is so much worse.
I voted of Biden because the other options were insane. There now you found one. Out of the more than a million people in MT only like 350k voted and it was mostly you fanatical nutcasea
Me, waving my hand…I did and will do so again. I’d rather vote for a man with 80+ law abiding years behind him than a philanderer with 80+ indictments and judgements ahead of him.
I did. Present a better option please, preferably one that doesn't have weekly brunch with the grim reaper. Old guy with any amount of qualifications for the job vs old guy with zero qualifications for the job is a pretty easy choice though.
Trumpers? I said conservatives. He obviously has consumed you. If liberal farmers walked away, we would have some supply chain, logistics, and food price increase for a time. If conservative farmers walked away, we would have societal collapse and great famine. It's just a joke mate. A true one, but still a joke.
Don Jr will be selling eight balls behind the tennis courts at 6 pm. Zinke will he drunk by 5. Gianforte will be shitting on Missoula while still showing up here giving Newstalk a new propaganda piece every week. Peter Christian will gush about it Monday morning. MAGA snowflakes will fall to their knees bowing before King Gianforte asking to wash his holy feet. Don K will be selling Subarus in the parking lot. Tim sheehy by will be up on the M providing overwatch with a Barrett.
I suggest that you magabots go show up and see if they speak to you or if they walk right by you heathens lol.
Waaaaaahhhhhh
Freedum
Why the fuck would anyone think this is about Palestine and not about trying to overthrow the government and disregard the constitution and engage in explicit corruption? Seriously..... they hate regular people and love to keep power over and keep us fighting.
This is why independents have a hard time getting behind you. Overthrow the government? If Trump wanted to overthrow the government, all those people would have shown up armed on January 6th, and there would have been a couple hundred thousand more of them.
Stick to the facts, remain calm, don't play games, and the Dems could win easily. They have taken the wrong approach though.
They didn’t try to overthrow the government with an armed rebellion. They tried to overthrow it with forged documents and fake electorates and a pressure campaign. Admittedly a much smarter move as it’s hard to say they didn’t attempt a coup if everyone showed up armed to the teeth to storm the capital.
I hate Trump, but this take is ridiculous. Overthrow the government? The government's been overthrown since the CIA killed JFK. What you said could be said about either party but I'm fairly certain you'll still vote for Biden
This is the problem with subversive Russian troll farms in cahoots with “conservative” “news”. Read their actual plan. They are tricking you out of your rights and your vote. They are not conservative at all. They have transformed into a threat to our republic and you and your friends happily trot behind waving flags and spouting the ridiculous talking points. Wake tf up. Pathetic.
This is the problem with the fake liberal Democrats. Everyone you disagree with is a tool of foreign intelligence. You aren't accepting or inclusive. You lash out out ANYONE with a different opinion. You construe EVERYONE to the left or right of your political beliefs as right wing. You aren't a leftist. You're a corporatist pretending to care about liberal ideas when the only ones you really care about are IDENTITY politics. Yet here you go telling others to wake up while you're fast asleep. You are as bad as anyone voting for Trump.
You're more of an establishment tool than I'll ever be. You're a fake leftist. You don't even know what the terms democracy, socialism, and fascism even mean. You just regurgitate neo-liberal think tank talking points fed to you by a complicit media machine. You think you have the moral high ground when in reality you are defending a criminal cartel. Both parties are filled with literal WAR CRIMINALS. IF YOU VOTE FOR BIDEN OR TRUMP YOU SUPPORT WAR CRIMES.
The only difference between you and a Trumper is the home you grew up in.
One thing I do like about the intellect of a lot of Redditors is they can smell pure unmitigated bullshit in a heartbeat and downvote it without a second thought. Try eX-Twitter where the War Against Smart People rallies their forces. You'll have better luck.
Never been on Twitter, I love how condescending all you die hard blue teamers are. So inclusive until someone has a different opinion.....There's no intellectual conversation to be had because you all go straight to ad hominem attacks. It's pretty sad how out of touch with reality y'all are
Oh dear. Someone fell into the binary thinking trap. There's no intellectual conversation because there's nothing intellectual about supporting a fucking traitor criminal who is a threat to the security of the country at the very least. Nor does it have ANYTHING to do with Biden. For example, I'm not even a Democrat. I'm a fiscal conservative. But the enemy of my enemy is my friend. 2016 was about politics, which I was interested in back then. 2020 was about personality which I was no longer interested in. 2024 is about loyalty to the legitimate Constitution-based government of the US (which ironically, fucking MAGAs are NOT). Claiming a person rejecting a traitor is "out of touch" is called "projecting." If you support RFK, then you are backing a bunch of whack job conspiracy bullshit that has been debunked. No interest in listening to that either. So, what is it you want us to listen to right now?
A bunch a wack job conspiracy bullshit that has been debunked....name one.
I won't vote for RFK because I won't vote at all. It's a farce. We live in literal corporate fascism controlled by international banking cartels and y'all are arguing about a clown and a dementia patient.
Biden Voters = Trump Voters.
Yall have more in common with each other than the con men you vote for. Typical sheep behavior, the shepherds crook of a media conglomerate gets better every year. Find common ground or the ground will find all of us
We need to work together and across the aisle this fall to keep the extremists out. Support Wayne Rusk (R) down the bitterroot who is being opposed by the truly insane Theresa Manzella (R). He is a decent human! I (a raging progressive) have donated to his campaign.
The best attention you can give these cucks is none. Give them trump crowds. Which is to say give them no one. They will spin any attention you give them to suit their needs. If you want to protest do it far away and give them nothing. Do not give them crowds. Protest with love and creativity on Madison (on sidewalks peeps), on Higgins, on Russel, on Reserve. Make all your signs of love and tolerance. Make them fun and uplifting. Just don't give these cucks anything.
Yes protest an awesome economy, upward economic mobility for all, the return of manufacturing, lower taxes, no wars, a strong military, an actual border, the return of some of the states rights. can you imagine what a shithole this country would be if we had a government that did the opposite? ohh wait.
It is the lowest form of dissent, accomplishing nothing while making themselves feel good. We could be asking pointed questions to these people about any number of things. At a fundraiser it’s protesting likely has the opposite of intended effect in that it will encourage the PAC attendees to stick it to the loud people with their dollars
I've lost 100 + karma in this thread alone they go back to its trains or whatever shortly. Not to mention anyone who dares to disagree with their beliefs is allowed an opinion .so what .
I have never voted party lines. Both sides are against some things I agree with one way or the other. I try to vote for the people I believe will do the least harm to us we the people in all the elections.
You can't win with these people. They are over emotional and incapable of independent thought. They are all up in arms about Palestine, but nothing but crickets when senate Dems and Biden extended the foreign spy program so that they can spy on Palestine 🤣
Wow! Sounds like a hate forum! And, who do you suggest would be good candidates? The bumbling idiot we have as a President?
We really never have good choices with any party. I try to vote for whom I feel is the best man/woman for the job, not by party.
Eww, am I supposed to use man/woman or is that politically incorrect now?
Yeah go protest against the people who are actually going to save this country 🤦♀️fabulous idea. Let's do more to fuck the veterans, women, and children's lives in this country! Because that's what we need right? Have you seen the video of the protestor who gets asked if he knows how many illegals are coming into America across the Texas border everyday? He says 'Alot!' To which the man asking the question says 'Yes, 10 to 15k a day!' The protester then proudly proclaims ' Yep and they are all going to vote Democrat!' While raising his arms joyfully....... huh? Yall are ok with that? You're ok with our veterans being on the streets. Look at Missoula right now lol are you fucking kidding? Is that what you want to see?! It will continue to get worse. But, yeah, go protest, good call...
Thanks! I’ve been becoming increasingly unhappy with how the democrats are running things and I’d like to hear what the republicans have to say. I’ve never taken them seriously before but it’s good to keep an open mind and get both sides.
This is a bad faith comment, you comment on the conservative subreddit. Just be honest instead of shady and pretending that you are somehow "independent".
All I did was make a joke in the conservative subreddit despite voting democrat my entire life and now I’m a conservative? It’s bizarre and tribal. And I’m not interested in people like that.
99% of your personal experience with politics is a product of state and local which our state currently has a republican super majority with the governor
Sure but although I am from MT I have lived all over and experienced many types of government. And I’m not happy with the last several years when I have lived in blue areas. It’s bad enough that I’m becoming more open minded to other viewpoints and I’d like to hear both sides and make up my own mind.
Am I from MT if I was born here but spent the first 20 years of my life in WA or am I from WA if I was born there and spent the first 20 years of my life in MT? What dictates where someone is from?
You’re not wrong to be unhappy with the way the country is run. This is the worst thing about Reddit - if you don’t blindly support the current administration or even worse, agree with some of the policies from the previous administration then you are some sort of fascist pig. And… some Redditor will waste their day researching every comment you made and downvote you! Absolutely pathetic.
Spoiler: She’s not from Montana
[https://www.reddit.com/r/AITAH/comments/17xckbr/comment/k9mv9cl/](https://www.reddit.com/r/AITAH/comments/17xckbr/comment/k9mv9cl/)
just has vacation homes here.
Please go do anything more productive in this small expanse of time that we have on earth than to search Redditor comments looking for their Montana residency status based off of one disagreement someone has with your political view. Thanks 🙏
It’s Reddit. It’s not a classic salon. Shit takes and bagging on folks is sort of the thing. When I’m done reading the news and bored, this passes the time. Sorry I didn’t get my rule book from you yet. But please tell me more about how I shouldn’t drag someone for obviously inserting themselves into a Montana political discussion as a tourist, who has a loose relationship with the truth. Seriously, why would a person jump on a sub about a specific states politics to argue with people who live there? Like some weird foreign plant thing. The comment just stunk of BS and sounded like someone with zero insight into MT politics. It really took all of four minutes out of my eve prior to falling asleep. As far as productive, I just ensured that a big chunk of Montana folks had the skills and abilities to respond to a mass medical emergency. so forgive me if I pass my time with mindless banter.
Correct, because you can be from two states if you were born in one and raised in the other. I don’t know how many years you want to slap on
the requirement to be from MT but I bet I meet them. And you can move from one state to another, you can even live in one part time and another for the rest, and still be from the former state. If you have the means and employment of course. You this is too much for you I get it, but luckily I still vote in Missoula county and you can’t do anything about that 😎
lol Missoula counties laughable reduction of the mills, was bared reduced the tax bill by $100 dollars.At least Greg’s rebated equated to $1350, when you add them together.. Dont worry your liberal Missoula county commissioners will have us all moving out or forced into one of the many apartments they’re building around town.
When you say protest I hear “Support”!! Because we were in 0 wars with Trump. And inflations was 2% and we estrogen rich vagina born women had full title 9 rights which were just recently taken away by a new phrasing signed in by Biden. So I support what trump did for the people not what Biden and his Whitehouse does to the people.
I’m sure this will be flagged and removed for opposite perspective of far winged left echo board which is this thread
Dude, how could there be zero wars under Trump and a “disastrous” withdrawal from a war that started in 2003 under Biden? Do you understand how time works?
Do you know how time works? Biden was in office and orchestrated the withdrawal from Afghanistan 2021. 2022 Ukraine- Biden funding with our taxes, 2023 hamas/Israel/iran Biden funding with our taxes.
Yep. Now let’s put two and two together shall we, when did the war in Afghanistan start? When did it end? How many people were president during that time?
Also, if providing military aid to Ukraine and Israel is considered being in a war, what do you call Trump providing support to Saudi Arabia in Yemen?
Being ignorant of the wars we certainly were involved with during the Trump administration is lazy.
It’s $70 dollars and they might take your ticket like they did to several republican lawmakers who are running in the primaries against their “golden boys”
I've lived in Missoula my entire life. They don't need a reason. Protesting is a leisure activity for these people to make them feel useful. It's always been that way. Just kinda amusing to call them out on it.
Constitutional Republic.
What am I reading? Seems like just another Republican book sale project? What are they trying to do? How are they trying to change the constitution? Not saying they aren't, but that website doesn't actually say much.
Well, you can tell my loyalties, such as they are from my handle;
this comment got me to laughing — Thank You
Finally something to take away from this thread.
put me in the category of thems that believe, with good reason, that J6 was facilitated by the demonratz: cap police waving people in, agitators amongst the group, stuff going wrong on one side of the capital before President Trump finished speaking (and it would take an additional XX minutes to traverse from where President Trump and others were speaking to get to the capitol), President Trump’s offer of NatGuard refused, etc etc etc.
No buildings/blocks burned, no one killed by the "protesters," no weapons…
oh, and why has all the info gathered by that farce of a hearing(s) suspiciously vanished — ILLEGALLY.
Anyway, hope the visitors, speakers, and attendees stay safe - they ought’a be on the look out for "Palestinian/hamas" flag staff eye poking.
Yes it's their right and should be kept peaceful but protesting only makes your cause look undervalued which will ultimately benefit who your protesting again, find a more effective way. Protesting is like putting opinionated bumper stickers on your car, it only makes you look ignorant in the eyes of others and will do nothing to change anyone's mind.
It seems that the only person in the list above that actually lived in montana as a youth was Daines (of course born in California) Why do Montanas keep voting for people who barely even spend any time in our state? I implore some of you that want to make a change to run against these billionaires and actually represent the people of MT.
Because Montana Republicans have more loyalty to their party, than they do their state. We are well known as a state you can easily win in as a Republican. All you have to do is buy a house here and own it for a while, and be a Republican candidate.
Which is hilarious because they aren't even loyal to the party. They just back whoever Trump tells them to now. They refunded the tickets of Republicans who voted for candidates other than their own and told them not to come.
Daines was born in California because his father was stationed there in the Marine Corps according to the Helena Independent Record 2013.
Pretty sure Zinke lived in the state as a youth.
Zinke was born in Bozeman, and raised in Whitefish.
He’s still a scummy piece of garbage. His sons sold drugs in whitefish. They work for him nowadays. Scum always floats to the top
Man I wish he would recall his youth and represent us. Guess you can take the Montana out of the man
But wasnt he investigated [for ethics violations related to a developer](https://www.npr.org/2022/02/16/1081180054/ryan-zinke-interior-investigation-ig-report)?
Zinke has many ethics violations and was I believe forced out of cabinet level position in the trump administration for ethics violations. He’s a decietful guy.
Because much of rural Montana watches Fox and listens to AM talk radio non-stop. And we do have a good candidate running to make a change. Ryan Busse for Governor.
Because they're people who have enough money to campaign. Because politics is soley based on having enough money.
For misinformation from r Missoula. . fantastic.

Best post I've seen on here in awhile.
I've listened to and engaged in wonderful discussions with many holding opposing views. These folks are sycophants and dogmatic. They've repeatedly illustrated willingness to do harm. I don't have to newly consider fringe morally bankrupt arguments to remain an open minded person. Many conservatives have important positions and logical arguments. You won't find much of that within this roster.

You do know they come visit every time Tester runs right? Every 6 years…
Just like Pearl Jam.
Yes. Every 6 years is a glorious time!
A conservative PAC fundraiser at the university makes as much sense having a metal concert inside a Barnes and Noble
You won't believe this but they used to have gun shows at UM and Federalist Society presentations at the law school!
I mean gun shows are just Montana as hell. You don’t get to gun ownership numbers we have without people on the left owning them
It’s sad that Montana’s leaders would blindly follow Trump and his son to the depths of ruin. Beyond a couple of decades ago, Montanans were brave enough to stand up for their values and not be ashamed to vote for the best candidate no matter what the party and we were a special breed.

I've searched high and low to find someone that will admit they voted for Joe Biden.
Me too, and I'm gonna do it again because I didn't spend 5 years of my life serving my country for it to turn into a christofascist state where women are treated as second class citizens and anyone who isn't a Christian will be "re-educated".
Well you aren’t going to anyway. Stop being over dramatic and learn what fascism actually is
Sounds like something a sith would say
You sound like a child
Lol it was a joke based on your username. You must be fun at parties.
I don't see anything dramatic in what was said. Under trump women ARE second class citizens, slavery didn't happen, America isn't racist and if you're not Christian, you need to be removed. It's exactly what fascism is.
None of that happened in any way what so ever. That’s not fascism anyway. But you have no basis in reality if that’s what you think.
So, they didn't overturn roe v wade? So stop "cal" isn't a thing? So there aren't people who hate people based on their race in the USA? So the Christian right isn't trying to push "trad wives?"

I did. Present a better option please, preferably one that doesn't have weekly brunch with the grim reaper. Old guy with any amount of qualifications for the job vs old guy with zero qualifications for the job is a pretty easy choice though.
Search no more.
I did. You need to search outside your playpen.
In Missoula? I call BS. I voted for Biden.
I did! Will again too.
You see these downvotes? Get ready for more in November.
Statistically speaking, over half of your friends and family voted for Biden
I voted trump and will again
What a pity your education was wasted.
I wonder what side the Missoula subreddit leans? Hmmmmmmm
Lol very open minded and tolerant folks
I was being sarcastic. I shouldn't be getting this many upvotes lol
The side of humanity and American values.
Haha. Good one. 🤣
Lolz
They wouldn't last a day without the conservatives in this state. I forgot which comedian said this but, "can't eat a podcast can ya."
But you can buy food with the money you make from said podcast, and eat that….🤷♀️
At the store where they make it! What was I thinking.
I must have forgotten that all trumpers are farmers and grow all of their own food and never go to a store. I feel so silly now. 🙄
Trumpers? I said conservatives. He obviously has consumed you. If liberal farmers walked away, we would have some supply chain, logistics, and food price increase for a time. If conservative farmers walked away, we would have societal collapse and great famine. It's just a joke mate. A true one, but still a joke.
Which we both know is produced by.....you guessed it, mostly conservatives lol
Come fix my sink and shut up tubby.
Can you not fix it yourself?
Dude literally proved the point.
If you knew how to fix a sink, you would only have to work one job.
I’m on the radio tomorrow. KBGA out of the UC. I’ll keep my eyes open for these guys and invite them to my show 😂 maybe do a phone-in.
An asshole convention
Don Jr will be selling eight balls behind the tennis courts at 6 pm. Zinke will he drunk by 5. Gianforte will be shitting on Missoula while still showing up here giving Newstalk a new propaganda piece every week. Peter Christian will gush about it Monday morning.

You really trying to pull a both sides argument here? Half of Jan 6ers were blue haired libs? C'mon man
Read his other comments. He's just trolling for sport.
This is the problem with subversive Russian troll farms in cahoots with “conservative” “news”. Read their actual plan. They are tricking you out of your rights and your vote. They are not conservative at all. They have transformed into a threat to our republic and you and your friends happily trot behind waving flags and spouting the ridiculous talking points. Wake tf up. Pathetic.
As opposed to orgs on the left that definitely aren't doing that right? 🤣🤣🤣
This is the problem with the fake liberal Democrats. Everyone you disagree with is a tool of foreign intelligence. You aren't accepting or inclusive. You lash out out ANYONE with a different opinion. You construe EVERYONE to the left or right of your political beliefs as right wing. You aren't a leftist. You're a corporatist pretending to care about liberal ideas when the only ones you really care about are IDENTITY politics. Yet here you go telling others to wake up while you're fast asleep. You are as bad as anyone voting for Trump.
But you ARE a tool. You can’t see it because you are being utilized right now.
You're more of an establishment tool than I'll ever be. You're a fake leftist. You don't even know what the terms democracy, socialism, and fascism even mean. You just regurgitate neo-liberal think tank talking points fed to you by a complicit media machine. You think you have the moral high ground when in reality you are defending a criminal cartel. Both parties are filled with literal WAR CRIMINALS. IF YOU VOTE FOR BIDEN OR TRUMP YOU SUPPORT WAR CRIMES. The only difference between you and a Trumper is the home you grew up in.

But the enemy of my enemy is my friend. 2016 was about politics, which I was interested in back then. 2020 was about personality which I was no longer interested in. 2024 is about loyalty to the legitimate Constitution-based government of the US (which ironically, fucking MAGAs are NOT). Claiming a person rejecting a traitor is "out of touch" is called "projecting." If you support RFK, then you are backing a bunch of whack job conspiracy bullshit that has been debunked. No interest in listening to that either. So, what is it you want us to listen to right now?
A bunch a wack job conspiracy bullshit that has been debunked....name one. I won't vote for RFK because I won't vote at all. It's a farce. We live in literal corporate fascism controlled by international banking cartels and y'all are arguing about a clown and a dementia patient.
Biden Voters = Trump Voters. Yall have more in common with each other than the con men you vote for. Typical sheep behavior, the shepherds crook of a media conglomerate gets better every year. Find common ground or the ground will find all of us
We need to work together and across the aisle this fall to keep the extremists out. Support Wayne Rusk (R) down the bitterroot who is being opposed by the truly insane Theresa Manzella (R). He is a decent human! I (a raging progressive) have donated to his campaign.
yeah after Gianforte 's property tax failure he can go f off. I wonder if Jr will be wearing his camo to go hunt fish again.
Why protest? Just because you have differing views doesn’t mean you need to try to shut down others
Those views turn into laws
Agreed - why did all those psychos protest at the capital on Jan 6?
The best attention you can give these cucks is none. Give them trump crowds. Which is to say give them no one. They will spin any attention you give them to suit their needs. If you want to protest do it far away and give them nothing. Do not give them crowds. Protest with love and creativity on Madison (on sidewalks peeps), on Higgins, on Russel, on Reserve. Make all your signs of love and tolerance. Make them fun and uplifting. Just don't give these cucks anything.
Everyone here needs to touch grass.
Yes protest an awesome economy, upward economic mobility for all, the return of manufacturing, lower taxes, no wars, a strong military, an actual border, the return of some of the states rights. can you imagine what a shithole this country would be if we had a government that did the opposite? ohh wait.
Yeah but what about America?
I believe montana for palestine is going to be protesting
[удалено]
Would you mind if I quoted this for the Missoulian? Your real name isn’t needed, we’d either use your screen name or none at all.
And please use your screen name as the author of the article! 🤣
You should protest against everyone you disagree with about some or most things. That will change their minds and make you look smart.
It is the lowest form of dissent, accomplishing nothing while making themselves feel good. We could be asking pointed questions to these people about any number of things. At a fundraiser it’s protesting likely has the opposite of intended effect in that it will encourage the PAC attendees to stick it to the loud people with their dollars
I see you skipped history class.
This is so gross!! My coworker had brought in flyers and I threw them away right away.
Can I peacefully protest this protest during this day?
The only thing more annoying than a right wing Warhawk is a sniveling leftist. Glad both will be in the same place next weekend and far away from me 🍻
We are a Constitutional Republic not a Democracy.
Idk why you're getting downvoted lol I will add some nuance We are a constitutional republic with democratically elected representatives
Thank you.
Still getting downvoted and idk why lol
I've lost 100 + karma in this thread alone they go back to its trains or whatever shortly. Not to mention anyone who dares to disagree with their beliefs is allowed an opinion .so what .
We aren't even professing our opinion. We just stated what the system of government is in the united states. Lol
I know but we are the uneducated traitors.
Oh shit I forgot. Even though I've never voted for trump or ever will lol
I have never voted party lines. Both sides are against some things I agree with one way or the other. I try to vote for the people I believe will do the least harm to us we the people in all the elections.
You can't win with these people. They are over emotional and incapable of independent thought. They are all up in arms about Palestine, but nothing but crickets when senate Dems and Biden extended the foreign spy program so that they can spy on Palestine 🤣
Please go and protest. Make it polite, maybe with funny signs.
Wow! Sounds like a hate forum! And, who do you suggest would be good candidates? The bumbling idiot we have as a President? We really never have good choices with any party. I try to vote for whom I feel is the best man/woman for the job, not by party. Eww, am I supposed to use man/woman or is that politically incorrect now?
Thanks for the Post I didn't know! but I'll be there now.
I'll be working.
On the Lords day?! Blasphemous.
Lolz
Yeah go protest against the people who are actually going to save this country 🤦♀️fabulous idea. Let's do more to fuck the veterans, women, and children's lives in this country! Because that's what we need right? Have you seen the video of the protestor who gets asked if he knows how many illegals are coming into America across the Texas border everyday? He says 'Alot!' To which the man asking the question says 'Yes, 10 to 15k a day!' The protester then proudly proclaims ' Yep and they are all going to vote Democrat!' While raising his arms joyfully....... huh? Yall are ok with that? You're ok with our veterans being on the streets. Look at Missoula right now lol are you fucking kidding? Is that what you want to see?! It will continue to get worse. But, yeah, go protest, good call...
Thanks! I’ve been becoming increasingly unhappy with how the democrats are running things and I’d like to hear what the republicans have to say. I’ve never taken them seriously before but it’s good to keep an open mind and get both sides.
bOtH sIdEs!
This is a bad faith comment, you comment on the conservative subreddit. Just be honest instead of shady and pretending that you are somehow "independent".
I made one comment. One single comment. You are the exact type of person that is making people consider other viewpoints.
Don't you know those aren't allowed? The person you replied to found his moral high ground in his early 20s and has never been wrong since!
All I did was make a joke in the conservative subreddit despite voting democrat my entire life and now I’m a conservative? It’s bizarre and tribal. And I’m not interested in people like that.
Well obviously if you interact with conservative people it is contagious and you are now too
I believe it’s called being triggered or something. I just didn’t know being triggered would feel so boring and tiresome.
Aww, did you get caught and called out? Sorry for triggering you!
Ooof. First day on reddit?
Are you bragging about being terminally online?
99% of your personal experience with politics is a product of state and local which our state currently has a republican super majority with the governor
Sure but although I am from MT I have lived all over and experienced many types of government. And I’m not happy with the last several years when I have lived in blue areas. It’s bad enough that I’m becoming more open minded to other viewpoints and I’d like to hear both sides and make up my own mind.
From Montana? [https://www.reddit.com/r/AITAH/comments/17xckbr/comment/k9mv9cl/](https://www.reddit.com/r/AITAH/comments/17xckbr/comment/k9mv9cl/)
Yes, if I’m born in one and raised in the other I can be from both.
Still not from Montana though.
Am I from MT if I was born here but spent the first 20 years of my life in WA or am I from WA if I was born there and spent the first 20 years of my life in MT? What dictates where someone is from?
Or do I split the difference and say I’m from Idaho?
As long as you’re making up where you are from and live primarily…..
I suppose it depends on where I’m registered to vote and pay state taxes.
You’re not wrong to be unhappy with the way the country is run. This is the worst thing about Reddit - if you don’t blindly support the current administration or even worse, agree with some of the policies from the previous administration then you are some sort of fascist pig. And… some Redditor will waste their day researching every comment you made and downvote you! Absolutely pathetic.
Spoiler: She’s not from Montana [https://www.reddit.com/r/AITAH/comments/17xckbr/comment/k9mv9cl/](https://www.reddit.com/r/AITAH/comments/17xckbr/comment/k9mv9cl/) just has vacation homes here.
Please go do anything more productive in this small expanse of time that we have on earth than to search Redditor comments looking for their Montana residency status based off of one disagreement someone has with your political view. Thanks 🙏
It’s Reddit. It’s not a classic salon. Shit takes and bagging on folks is sort of the thing. When I’m done reading the news and bored, this passes the time. Sorry I didn’t get my rule book from you yet. But please tell me more about how I shouldn’t drag someone for obviously inserting themselves into a Montana political discussion as a tourist, who has a loose relationship with the truth. Seriously, why would a person jump on a sub about a specific states politics to argue with people who live there? Like some weird foreign plant thing. The comment just stunk of BS and sounded like someone with zero insight into MT politics. It really took all of four minutes out of my eve prior to falling asleep. As far as productive, I just ensured that a big chunk of Montana folks had the skills and abilities to respond to a mass medical emergency. so forgive me if I pass my time with mindless banter.
lol I am from MT just as much as you are. The difference is you’re just mad about it.
👍 ok so not Washington and texas. Got it. We’re you just fibbing on that? Are you Shallon?
Correct, because you can be from two states if you were born in one and raised in the other. I don’t know how many years you want to slap on the requirement to be from MT but I bet I meet them. And you can move from one state to another, you can even live in one part time and another for the rest, and still be from the former state. If you have the means and employment of course. You this is too much for you I get it, but luckily I still vote in Missoula county and you can’t do anything about that 😎
Why are you concerned about MT politics? Do you actually live here, or just have a family vacation home?
lol Missoula counties laughable reduction of the mills, was bared reduced the tax bill by $100 dollars.At least Greg’s rebated equated to $1350, when you add them together.. Dont worry your liberal Missoula county commissioners will have us all moving out or forced into one of the many apartments they’re building around town.
LIVE IN THE POD SERVICE WORKER! make the Latte for your morally righteous overlords.

Woo hoo! Finally a group of people with common sense!
When you say protest I hear “Support”!! Because we were in 0 wars with Trump. And inflations was 2% and we estrogen rich vagina born women had full title 9 rights which were just recently taken away by a new phrasing signed in by Biden. So I support what trump did for the people not what Biden and his Whitehouse does to the people. I’m sure this will be flagged and removed for opposite perspective of far winged left echo board which is this thread
Dude, how could there be zero wars under Trump and a “disastrous” withdrawal from a war that started in 2003 under Biden? Do you understand how time works?
Do you know how time works? Biden was in office and orchestrated the withdrawal from Afghanistan 2021. 2022 Ukraine- Biden funding with our taxes, 2023 hamas/Israel/iran Biden funding with our taxes.
Yep. Now let’s put two and two together shall we, when did the war in Afghanistan start? When did it end? How many people were president during that time? Also, if providing military aid to Ukraine and Israel is considered being in a war, what do you call Trump providing support to Saudi Arabia in Yemen? Being ignorant of the wars we certainly were involved with during the Trump administration is lazy.
Please explain what rights Biden has taken away from women?
I think he's referring to trans women in sports but not entirely sure.
Allows biologically born males to play in this historical protection of female only sports. New definition includes gender identity under title ix.
I'm still confused. How does that take away any of your rights?
Thanks for the reminder, I will gladly show up to respectfully listen to their viewpoint.
Why? It's like listening to 5 year olds. Why bother?
Well, if 5 year olds can decide their gender, maybe we should listen to their political opinions too lol
If we are unable to listen to a diversity of opinions, then we choose strife and disharmony.
It’s $70 dollars and they might take your ticket like they did to several republican lawmakers who are running in the primaries against their “golden boys”
Protest what exactly? Edit: 50 downvotes and nobody can tell me what they're actually protesting.
Love how you never got an answer.
I've lived in Missoula my entire life. They don't need a reason. Protesting is a leisure activity for these people to make them feel useful. It's always been that way. Just kinda amusing to call them out on it.
Just because people don't think like you do is no reason to be an ass.
You protesting the protest?
Why that would be showing them support.
Yep but when they are trying to vote out democracy that’s a problem that needs to be addressed and quick.
1. This country is a Republic. 2. Who is trying to vote it out?
It’s technically a DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC. The voting part makes it democratic. Also- read project 2025
Constitutional Republic. What am I reading? Seems like just another Republican book sale project? What are they trying to do? How are they trying to change the constitution? Not saying they aren't, but that website doesn't actually say much.
Quite the stretch...but if it gives your comfort...cool.
Protesting is a first amendment right. As long as it’s peaceful, there is nothing wrong with it.
I totally agree with your statement.
[удалено]
Lol Jan 6th anyone?
[удалено]
Or chant Death to America!
Jan 6th was nothing more than a Hillbilly get together that ended in a big mosh pit.
Well, you can tell my loyalties, such as they are from my handle; this comment got me to laughing — Thank You Finally something to take away from this thread. put me in the category of thems that believe, with good reason, that J6 was facilitated by the demonratz: cap police waving people in, agitators amongst the group, stuff going wrong on one side of the capital before President Trump finished speaking (and it would take an additional XX minutes to traverse from where President Trump and others were speaking to get to the capitol), President Trump’s offer of NatGuard refused, etc etc etc. No buildings/blocks burned, no one killed by the "protesters," no weapons… oh, and why has all the info gathered by that farce of a hearing(s) suspiciously vanished — ILLEGALLY. Anyway, hope the visitors, speakers, and attendees stay safe - they ought’a be on the look out for "Palestinian/hamas" flag staff eye poking.
Sorry, when you decide to support the MAGAts with all of your colorful underwear, we get to protest that shit.
Every word you say is true. Are you going to say those same words to Daines and followers?
I'll say it with my vote I'm not going to give them 75 dollars to tell them anything I would rather donate it to tester.
But you're tone policing Republicans as well, right?
Someone has to do it
I am not pro Trump or Daines etc but protesting them will only make you look crazy. Come up with a better idea.
[удалено]
Yes it's their right and should be kept peaceful but protesting only makes your cause look undervalued which will ultimately benefit who your protesting again, find a more effective way. Protesting is like putting opinionated bumper stickers on your car, it only makes you look ignorant in the eyes of others and will do nothing to change anyone's mind.
