[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3436405, member: 5412"] I think you just defeated your own opinion. You are correct that you are leaving for the right reasons, and you will not bring the commie ideology; with you, but sadly that isn't what actually has happened. All of those cities you quoted have gone liberal because of immigration from other states. Republicans have a problem. While they’re continuing to perform OK-ish in the Midwest and the South in the era of Donald Trump, on Tuesday they got hammered in the Mountain West—a region loosely defined as “cowboy country,” i.e., Texas plus everything from Colorado and New Mexico to the borders of the Pacific coast states. It’s the continuation of a trend that’s been going on for more than a decade, but it’s particularly worrisome now. Republicans should be able to win in states largely populated by fiscally conservative, pro-gun rights individuals. But the results Tuesday were [I]no bueno[/I]. "Nevada and Colorado are starting to look more blue than purple. Arizona, which has more Electoral College votes than either, has been Republican since forever but now appears to be an honest-to-God swing state. New Mexico, which used to be a swing state, is now completely out of reach for the GOP except under the most unusual circumstances. Montana has been showing for some time that if you run the right Democrat, it can go blue. Even Utah and Texas appear to be changing, politically. It’s all very bad news for the GOP, but it’s unclear whether national figures sitting in offices in Washington, D.C., have noticed or care about it." [URL]https://www.thedailybeast.com/dont-look-now-but-the-mountain-west-is-turning-blue[/URL] Ted Turner, the biggest land owner in the US bought land in Montana along a famous trout stream in Monta years ago He subdivided it into areas where the rich can build. What happened is that the new owners caused the property taxes to go to the moon in that county. So, how did that effect the people that owned land around where Ted Turner bought land? In that area it might take up to 100 acres or more to keep a cow fed off grass per cow. In Ok with good grass it might take two to three acres. Ranches and homesteads that had been in existence for over a hundred years in Montana were forced to close because they couldn't afford the property tax because of the high end development by turner. This is how the left is taking over the West. [/QUOTE]
