Enough Of The Out-Of-State Influencers In Montana

Montana Sure Has A Lot Of Influencers

Since the pandemic, it seems like you can't swing a cat without hitting some out-of-state-influencer telling their out-of-state followers how they're making a go of it in Montana.

Remember this fool, Shallon Lester?  You can get caught up on the article here.

I was reading my own website and ran across an article referring to a woman who moved from Portland, Oregon to Montana. @steradyrein on TikTok

A couple of things here:

Oregon is like Montana only it doesn't have real mountains, and instead of Idaho and the Dakotas, one of the borders of Oregon is the Pacific Ocean. Moving to Montana is NOT a big step out of the Oregon life. Even if you live in Portland.

I watched 3 of her videos. One, she's feeding her horses and wearing proper Montana winter ranch clothing and doing proper Montana winter ranch things. In another she's wearing a brand new cowboy hat and talking about her phone service. And in the other she's highlighting herself, her new hat and her cowboy dresses.

I will tell you she has nearly 2 million followers.

These Shenanigans MUST STOP

When you have people like Lester or this Oregon woman putting out these "city people in the country" videos it just makes more fools like them want to populate our state, pay too much for land and housing, and in 5-10 years leave the state ruined like people like them do EVERY CHANCE THEY GET.

Winter this year wasn't even bad enough to scare them away.
