The military went for trump in huge numbers and so did Montana . This is the state that just had its representative body slam a reporter for the guardian .
The deep red yahoo stuff is your own terms ,If places like Montana and Idaho and Wyoming aren’t deep red then no states are . When was the last time Montana voted for a dem presidential candidate , Clinton ? Maybe one time in 36 years ?
And I think it was when Clinton flipped to the 3 Strikes Law and sunk us deeper into a military police force that appealed at that time to the red states.

You think that tells the tale? Ahh.., no.
It's more split than you'd like to think. It's a progressive state whether you believe it or not. It's no South Carolina or Arkansas.
And the military vote has been predominately republican, but their allegiance is to the the Constitution, not a registered party. Always has been. They flow where the $ and hoorah factor is, as misguided as it may seem. Bone spur Trump- great choice.
When Obama was in office, there were plenty that didn't agree with his politics and some of his supporters would claim that meant you were automatically racist. I'm pretty much an independent and of course some people are racist but, when you try to explain to some one in great detail why you strongly disagree with something he's attempting to do and then they apparently not having paid attention to a single word you just said, simply dismiss you as racist (when they've never met you), I came to realize was a person not capable of discussing politics with. You just wrote paragraphs and they reply with one sentence that's mostly name calling (stuff like Faux News, the Orangutan, Obummer, etc.). If they can't say something without doing that, you have to question their maturity level or their desire to truly discuss an issue.
I didn't see people mad like I'm seeing some people from the left mad now. I don't like Trump and didn't like Hillary. I know people that are life long friends, that now don't speak to each other because one voted for Trump.....that's nuts. I've heard other people tell me they know of situations like that too. What happened to common sense...why all the drama. If you have a life long friend, it's for a reason, you know one another and trust each other. Why are people all of a sudden incapable of respecting their opinions and reasoning and no longer talking to them. They know their not racists, they know they don't hate women, their not that religious, their intelligent and believe in science too but, their decision to vote for Trump (for reasons you now ignore) is such a mistake and insulting, that it's time to end a 20-40 year friendship. That really is crazy!
Wow, talk about coincidences! I was saying the same thing two days ago. I wonder if we will have a civil war right here at home before we have any confrontations internationally.
The civil war would be nasty. The Right may control the guns but the Left has probably more people and also has probably in the trillions in Leftist and RINO corporate and foundation cash. They could starve us out due to lack of jobs, etc.
I think a better plan would be to find the groups on both sides screwing us both and get us all to join together and fight those groups.
The reason Trump won some states like PA and WV is because he promised to take on big corporations screwing us over and also to stop the menace of the EPA. That won the blue collar vote and him saying he'd do stuff about H1Bs got him the white collar vote.
As for the black vote, Hillary got less of it than Obama did, in part because blacks are waking up to how illegal immigration is really hurting them and that the Democrats are dumping them for their new favorite group: Central Americans and Middle Easterners.
Also, thanks in part to those like Franklin Graham and Jerry Falwell Jr., Trump got enough of the Evangelical vote too, which McCain and Romney didn't get as much of.
I think getting the black vote and the blue and white collar vote is going to be crucial for the Republican Party to overcome the seemingly unchangeable advantage the Democrats have with the Latino vote, especially as their population is on the rise.
Another thing the Republicans need to flip is the youth vote. That is also been getting quite liberal.
Not that defeating the Democrats alone will stop trouble. The Establishment Republicans also like Big Government and corporate cronyism, so all putting them into power would do is make the country die death by a knife instead of death by a gun (Democrats) so that we'd just postpone our doom.
We have to do something about the two party dictatorship and the power in DC so that they can't redistribute our wealth to get some of us dependent on them and loyal to them and thus get us to fight each other.
