Californians are arriving in Montana in droves. But they're not welcome.

Sasha Vermel had been sewing face masks locked down in her Oakland home for months during the pandemic when her hands gave out. She realized she couldn’t even open a door anymore.
It was the last straw. She’d been out of work as a designer and seamstress since COVID-19 hit, she’d been home-schooling two kids for months and the 2020 wildfire season had been relentless. She went to her husband and asked if he wanted to fly to Missoula, Montana for the weekend and look at houses.
That was in September 2020. By Thanksgiving, they had moved there, joining the thousands of people who have relocated from California to Montana in the past two years.
While the move was abrupt, Vermel and her husband had thought about leaving the Bay Area for years. She said they would often do “real estate tourism” on Zillow and browse houses in other cities they might move to.
They considered Asheville, North Carolina, but there wasn’t much of a tech community there, something her husband was looking for.
They also thought about Austin, but quickly realized it wasn’t quite as affordable as it once was . . .

So they're liberals. Which explains why they aren't wanted in Montana. It is because of people like this that California became a hell hole in the first place.
