The most important issue plaguing American parents (outside the failing economy) is whether or not their children are being indoctrinated into progressive ideologies that distort the natural laws of sex and gender. While on its face it seems like a good idea to leave the deep blue states outwardly promoting these harmful ideals, red states are not a safe haven against the insanity.
A small town in Montana, a state known for its wide open spaces and Cowboy lifestyle, is reportedly hosting its first-ever Pride parade that will allegedly include a drag show for kids, according to a popular anon account on Twitter called Lomez. He remarked that this is proof “Woke isn’t dying. Woke isn’t going anywhere.”
“[A] friend told me his small red town in a red state 500 miles from the nearest international airport just announced it’s having it’s first ever Pride parade, including a drag show for kids sponsored by the town council,” Lomez tweeted. “This also came with a ‘Proclamation’ issued by the city declaring the town a safe space and condemning bigotry blah blah blah, suggesting that any objections, let alone active resistance to a city-sponsored Pride week and kid’s drag show is somehow verboten.” (ROOKE: California Is About To Bring A Dad’s Worst Nightmare To Life)
“This raises complex strategic/tactical questions. Despite outnumbering the hicklibs, ordinary people who don’t want their cities hosting kids drag shows are not organized, don’t know how to organize, and wouldn’t know what effective resistance would look like if they were,” Lomez continued. “What you’re most likely to see is a disorganized counter-protest, some Facebook mom’s group going off half-cocked, mixed in with a few feds, which will only strengthen the resolve of the Pride advocates, give fodder to local media, and look foolish to outside observers.”
Sadly, his assessment is correct. Red states like Montana have long forgotten how to fight back against the left’s ever-encroaching wokeness. While there might be a counter-protest, the likelihood of the event being shut down before it happens is low. Still, why was it even allowed in the first place?
Former President Donald Trump won Montana by almost 100,000 votes in the 2020 presidential election. In Park County, where Livingston is located, Trump received 6,025 of the 11,566 votes cast, winning that county by 52%.

In an area that is predominately voting for a Republican presidential candidate, there is likely not a huge population of people who identify as a member of the LGBT community. And even less likely are there to be enough numbers who agree that children should be attending these highly sexualized drag shows. Still, that didn’t stop the left from targeting this town for its events.
Montana has already made the news in 2024 after two parents, Krista (stepmom) and Todd Kolstad (biological father), accused the state’s child protective services (CPS) of “kidnapping” their 14-year-old girl confused by gender ideology. The Kolstad’s alleged CPS trafficked her across state lines to a specialized residential care facility to receive treatment for her severe mental health issues. To make matters worse, the state allegedly even threatened to send her out of the country to Canada to live with her mother, who has been accused of being abusive to the girl.
“We were told that letting [their daughter] transition and live as a boy was in her ‘therapeutic best interest,’ and because we aren’t willing to follow that recommendation, the court gave CFS [Child and Family Services] custody of Jennifer for six months. CFS is now going to place [her] in the care of her birth mother [Christine] in Canada, who has never really been a part of her life. The judge said to us, ‘You need to expect that reunification with your family may not be what you are expecting,'” Mrs. Kolstad said, Reduxx reported.
Americans expect this level of insanity to hit areas of the country Democrats control. Still, even red states aren’t protected from the onslaught of progressivism hellbent on capturing their children and forcing adherence to radical left-wing ideology. Taking your children out of states like California, Maine or New York is not enough. Moving does nothing to protect these children from bearded men in flamboyant makeup and obscene dresses exposing themselves.

It’s not a wild right-wing thought that children shouldn’t be sexualized, given porn in school libraries or told there are infinite genders. Americans need to wake up and realize that unless there is a total stop to this ideology from being allowed in public, there is no safe place for their children to grow up.
The left will find and use children in perverse ways that endanger their innocence, and politicians will do nothing to prevent it. It’s up to parents to create safety for their families. It starts at the school board and ends in their state capitols.
You can run but you can’t hide. We would love to move out of New York (upstate) but finding North Carolina, Arizona Georgia, Tennessee, Virginia, and even Texas just as bad. Even the Midwest is facing a crop of anti-private property rights, LGBTQLMNOP madness. Looking into moving to Mississippi or Alabama but how long can they hold out since the left never stops marching?
Moving to a red state helps but by far, the best thing I have found that helps is homeschool your children and get them well-grounded in truth. Equip them with common sense, skills, and instill in them wisdom that they need to discern good from evil.
My wife and I have no children yet, but many in our church do and they’ve all banded together to homeschool their children in the same homeschool program, and they work together to help with that with the whole group. I’ve never seen a more courteous, well-mannered, and quite sharp group of kids. Gives me a little hope for the future yet.
Not long forgotten. Many still know what SSS and free helicopter rides are.
One of my friends, a very much MAGA Trump supporter and conservative happens to also be a trans complete with operation.
She thinks this woke crap, "pride" parades and drag queen stuff being put in the faces of kids is insane just as much as we do.
She just wants to live her life and be left alone.
I think the ones throwing this in the faces of people who don't want it at some point are going to face a backlash beyond what they can imagine.
If we don't do it, the Muslims sure will, as they gain strength of numbers in the USA.
They will throw homosexuals and trans people off buildings first, before they start beheading us.
Instead of focusing on themselves, the focus should be on bullies in society and in school who make life miserable for anyone they consider "different" or for that matter anyone they choose to attack.
I just hope the backlash doesn't affect those who are "different" who do not choose to do the 'woke" thing and do not go after kids or other "in your face" activities.
I live and minister in NW Arkansas - one of the rapidly-growing areas where Californians and others from Woke-West Amerika are fleeing to... And between their driving up property values/costs beyond the grasp of many locals, despite their claims of trying to flee the wokeness, are bringing it with them.
It is truly frustrating - they come griping about taxes and cost-of-living out West. they come griping about the heavy-handed environmental regulation. They come bemoaning the strict property restrictions. They come despising the indoctrination of children in schools...
And then set out to bring all of that here - they complain about certain “infrastructure” or government-provided services that we don’t have (and really haven’t seen a need for it) - so they begin to demand it and try to organize enough who feel the same way - well... Those extra things cost money. So what is next? A tax increase. Oh - and that little rural school that still has a “Christmas concern” by the choir or band? Can’t call it that any more, you know... separation of Church and State... (but demand celebrations of “Earth Day” and Gay Pride/LGBTQ+ day...)
Then they are driving the hyper-development of thousands of acres of woods and pasture... but then want to restrict other people’s property as “greenways”...
They drive like drunkards everywhere, as if they own every square inch of the road, they are not bound by traffic laws, and they really don’t care if they are rude jerks in public places...
Hopefully you have some good political leaders who will explain to the looser West Coasters, if they want a New California, it would be better for everyone if they move back.
Well actually you can. It is a costly move but relocating to Florida is the answer.
And before you go there Surrender Monkeys, NO FLORIDA is NOT turning blue because of people bringing leftist voting habits here.
Currently the number of registered Republicans out numbers the number of registered rodents by 850,000 and Fl GOP promises to get it to ONE MILLION by the end of the summer.
This article is scare tactic bull shiite as to the other states as well. Communist lying propaganda.
As long as we're willing to fund it with our consumer dollars rather than find alternatives or do without, we and our kids are only going to get more of it.
