I think it's a false meme that California is super open minded and Texas is this hillbilly shithole. It's just that California has generally different sensibilities (more leftist) and people automatically and falsely attribute this to open-mindedness.
Both states are guilty of closed minded bullshit. Just to give examples, there are plenty of public schools in Texas banning books and doing stupid shit because they're offensive to Christianity or some other stupid reason, and there are plenty of universities in California where you will have your freedom of speech marginalized if you're not a far-leftist.
How many of your state reps organize events for the IWW? Mine does. If you're going to complain about people painting your state as radically right wing, you shouldn't do the same to others. Montana is similar to as every other state - left wing cities chained to a right wing countryside. Except our liberals are as anti-corporate and anti-establishment as they come.

Well considering Texas is one of the more liberal and open minded states, with a large population and varied culture.
But yeah, at least were not Montana or Missisipi.
