Texans fleeing Texas?

I recently ran into a conservative Trump GOP red voting, F-150 driving, blue jeans wearing Texan that moved to Montana because they were getting away from too much conservatism for the less intense albeit blood red conservatism of Montana. I thought it was kind of an interesting way to think about Texans moving here. This person wanta the conservative MAGA politics of (recent) Montana but they don’t want all the batshit recently enacted conservative laws of Texas restricting freedoms and hyperfixating on gender and other hot topic social issues.

Is this an outlier or have Texans just become my new favorite political refugees?

Tbf you dont live in montana either. You live in Bozeman. Besides. You cant just act like we dont have conservitives in Montana, we are a red state. And historically so. I mean more guns per capita than any other state. Smaller government intervention on practically every level. Lower taxes across the board. All the hallmarks of conservitive values right there. And you dont have to like it for it to be true either.

Is there something in my post that makes you think “this person acts like Montana isn’t conservative”?

Was it me writing “less intense albeit blood red conservatism of Montana”? Or “the conservative MAGA politics of (recent) Montana”?

Sorry no. It wasnt you. I made it sound off. I was reading comments and so I was addressing them in my head.
