It's just a breeding ground for pro-America Liberals. Seattle is not as bad as many other cities in the U.S. with large populations. I am not well traveled but have traveled some, and Seattle is crappy, but there are worse cities, that's for sure. And in some of those other cities you aren't even allowed to own or carry a sidearm.
Personally, I think you are being over dramatic about how bad Seattle really is. It is definitely no utopia like some progressives want people to believe it is, but far from being anything like the belly of the beast. You should travel to a few obvious places if you are looking for that, D.C., Chicago, N.Y., Compton...there you will find what you are so eager to label as the "belly of the beast."
Better days in America are ahead, just as soon as Americans realize that having different views is American. I have heard many people talk about the "silent majority" and all of that BS, it doesn't exist. If the silent majority does exist, they tend to stand up and vote for liberals. Think about this last election where millions of new voters went to the booth, those millions were Liberals, and some Independents. Independents are far from being a majority.
Like I said, I think it is great you are in Montana. One less Debbie-downer to deal with in a city that already needs some TLC.
