And they will continue their red state ways

My daughter & son-in-law were over there for a year and couldn't take it anymore. Both left good paying jobs to come back to Montana. They said even the air was like breathing toxic fumes. There are no trees and nothing green. It is a disaster area and they dump toxic waste in black plastic bags everywhere. We have so shit in our beds that nothing can fix it.
