I’d choose Montana any day over Texas!  Hot, dry places are not for me, regardless of who is living there.
Montana seems great like Canadian weather but I'm concerned that the people are unfriendly there and hate outsiders.

.

The reason they say that is because they don't want liberals from California to turn Montana into a liberal state. With the population of California being as large as it is, and the population of Montana being as small as it is, it would take only a very small percentage of Californians moving to Montana to turn Montana into a liberal hell-hole. I'd be terrified if I were living in Montana.
I understand that but I've heard the major cities have already become liberal. I talked to someone who moved from Montana to South Dakota because of how liberal it was becoming, and she grew up there. And Montana is also very expensive for some reason compared to the other states.

That is true. ALL the major cities are focal points of liberalism, woke, and all that. Not just Austin, but all the big Texas cities are that way. Meanwhile, even the worst states like California and Illinois have rural/small towns EVERY BIT AS GOOD as those in "good states" like Texas.
So it's not about the state, it's about rural vs. big city.

That having been said, some states are SO dominated by their government (New York, California) that the whole state suffers from the liberal leadership. High taxes, state laws, etc. So it DOES make a difference what state you decide to live in.

I lived in Montana for 7.5 years. I am young so my experience doesn’t have the same level of merit as others, but:
- The conservative people were nice for the most part
- There’s a lot of land to build
- The cities have always been very liberal, Montana was always one of the most liberal states on abortion even before everyone started moving (abortion on demand, and abortion rights were “enshrined” in 2022 sadly). I know that the situation is undoubtedly getting significantly worse from all of the liberals and heathens moving there.
- The weather will be difficult for people who don’t like dry climates but for those who love snow, it snows from mid-October to February. It gets hot in the summer, into the 90s, but it is of course very dry.
- There are more than a few Trad chapel locations with part-time schedules. One who lives in the bitterroot valley south of Missoula (where I lived most of my time there) could, for instance, attend a Mass every week of the month by splitting time time between an SSPX and SSPV chapel.
- It’s a good state for those who want a quiet life with little to no friends. If you and your family don’t want to be bothered, Montana is the perfect state for you.
- It’s a beautiful state! One of the most beautiful in the nation in my opinion. There are many nature walks and hiking locations, and national parks like Glacier National Park or Yellowstone. It’s a good way to do healthy, non-secular activities and still have fun.
- 99% of people are white, I saw very few Hispanics, Asians, or blacks when I was living there.
