that agree with our lifestyle, e.g. pro-gun rights, pro-trapping, pro-hunting, pro-family, pro-religion, pro-law enforcement, anti-abortion, plus politicians that will support our ideas, etc. Which ones do you think? I will also include the states that you think that will remain red and not eventually turn into blue states in the near future.

SD isnt too bad. Our hot governor has won me over during covid.

Nebraska ain't perfect but it mostly fits your criteria.

The problem is that every state has it's " population centers" . I am sure that there are parts of states (even new york) that are decent . If i had to pick a few , I would guess N,S Dakota, wyoming, nebraska , montana. I am sure the3re are a few others. Your state doesn't even look too bad to me -- have to consider the perspective (I am not on the east side of my state).

Seen her today on TV. She can come to deer camp anytime.

I like it here. Not perfect but I can do what I like to do.

Overall, Iowa is pretty good.
One thing that I think helps here is the population is spread fairly evenly across the state, so that there is no huge imbalance of power.

Nebraska is definitely hard to beat. Glad we’re considered fly over country. Know a lot of good honest folks. In regards to a place where politicians listen to you I think you’ll be hard pressed to find a place where that happens consistently.

other than Finster,PA aint bad if ya get as far from the cities as ya can.

Truth is, most of NY and most of my NJ are very nice and like you describe. The problem is that the population centers have more votes and elect all of the people who make all the rules and those rules are not compatible with those of us who live outside the cities.

I think the problem is any where that is nice , the wrong people are fleeing their dung holes to go live there.

WY , have a customer there , she tells me you can't afford a place near Jackson , and the people are getting unbearable to live with.

MT my wife's coworker is from there has family still out there , Hollywood drove up the price of land beyond where normal people can afford.

the ND might be safe a while longer

I have an aunt talking about leaving TX dislikes rude , foreigners that have taken over around Plano.

if you have a place you are from and you like it , might be time to fight because the country is running out of places to hide from it's problems.

sure not all of every state is tainted , but more places ever day have a stink descending on them.

Pa is OK if you can stay away from Philly, Pitts, and Erie.

I'll add another vote for Nebraska. The best state in the union by far.

Kentucky is very similar to Trapdog's description of Iowa. The population is fairly dispersed so it's not being taken over by big city liberals, not yet anyway.

The problem with the truly conservative states like Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana is the very low populations. It doesn't take very many escapees from Cali to turn the whole state left. Take Wy for example where the total voting age population is just under 500K as compared with just the city of LA with a population of over 12 million.

I have lived in MI, NE, and TX and have found out just one thing in all of them;
People live there.
Que up the Clint Eastwood theme music;

The good, the bad, and the _____.

Love your neighbor as yourself, starts with us anyway.
Not them.

She hunts and her family has its own hunting lodge.

The thing about out West is it’s often tough to find acreage it’s either a small lot or a square mile being offered, we have out of state people buying up the bigger plots but they are hunters more from the South that don’t want much change. The worse here is the commercial farming doing the slash and burn of habitat.

Nice

The West part of Va. ain't nothing like the east 1/2 of the state, and not all of the east half. Most people in the
East part don't know we exist. They think Va. stops at in the middle. Only thing that's get attention this far west
is Bristol because on the NASCAR race. We kinda like it that way. 11 countys up east mostly, is the the only blue
county s in the state. And they turn the whole state blue.


Donnie

I would say Alaska,Wyoming,North Dakota,South Dakota,or Montana
