I’m pretty sure Trump doesn’t know much more about Montana than a random Lemmy user. Not that I think Montana is some bastion of freedom, but drawing conclusions about a state’s culture based on which outside politicians hold rallies there is pretty silly.
My anecdote supports this. My former neighbor is a die hard trump conspiracy theorist. Thought Biden died when he announced he was dropping out of the race without making an appearance type. Grew up in rural Ohio. I mean he’s the demographic.
But the nicest dude I’ve ever met. We lived on the fringe of the hood, and he was always out helping everyone he saw. Old black lady lived on the other side of me: shoved all her snow and never even told her it was him. Constantly stopping while walking his dogs to help people: carry groceries, clean your garage, move a couch. He truly didn’t care who you were, what you looked like, or what your situation was, he was going to help.
He got married in glacier national park and never came back lol
I know plenty of people who do nice things but still carry hate in their hearts for certain demographics. As the saying goes, no one is the villain in their own story. It’s great you have a nice neighbor, but if he votes for someone who wants to remove explicit or precedential rights from others, he’s not as nice as he seems.
He said he couldn’t arrest her so it was really just a display to show the kids what the system is like. It sounds like he singled her out because of the sleeping rather that asking for a volunteer. I can see that being embarrassing to a teenager to be called out, but is it really traumatic?
I mean, if I really had to. It’s hard for people that have never experienced trauma or anxiety or the like to empathize with it. They just can’t comprehend it. It doesn’t mean they have to be fucking ass holes about it

Conservatives have always been good at framing the narrative. It helps them convince people to believe things that are simply not true. This is not a new strategy. It has been working for them for 60 years.
They really are. My mom is “pro-life” and religious, but when I interviewed her about exactly what she believed, she said birth is hard and would never want to force anyone to do it. I’m like… You’re pro choice then.
Death Tax, entitlements, handouts, illegal immigrants, family values, conservatives are really good at drawing arbitrary lines around their own group and then using doublespeak to make everyone else seem unreasonable. Tomes have been written on the subject.

Just do individual bathrooms you can close. Everyone prefers them anyway, why wouldn’t you want to have an entire space you can lock down and do your business and move at your own pace?
If we had enough incentive to be a judge for a year, i think that there would be a lot of competent volunteers. I try to be an optimist, but it hardly works out.
