Wealthy liberals abandon the states they mismanaged and run to these Midwest states to enact their leftist social agenda.
Why would a Republican controlled state seek to enact a policy which undermines their own control? Because Leftists play to win while Republicans want to be lazy and sit around saying only “slow down”
Lol. Montana isn’t the mid-west, it’s the west. Everyone I know who has moved here from big cities is super right. The lefties I know are mostly homegrown from the Missoula area or associated with one of the universities. Montana is lurching hard right, but with a libertarian undertone (weed, guns, gambling all good to go). Montana is large, rural and full of tough, self-reliant people. The winters run the weak out of here. I know plenty who have left after one winter.
I do agree with you that this policy is a bad idea though!
