Park County seat, pop 10,000 was well attended, It warmed up a bit but still windy, as usual. The rally was held alongside to the RR tracks bu only one freight train disrupted us during the event.
Of particular interest was on of the speakers, former two - term governor Marc Racicot (former R). He was famously kicked out of the Reprobate party back in 2020 for speaking up against magatness. His message is still 'fuck those guys' and he did some Q&A as well. I used to protest against this guy back in the late 90s for his inability to see the detriment to wildlife that was/is perpetuated by the ranching industry. He was the last person I expected to see there, even after his conversion. To his gredit, his is still speaking out, in public fora, about the dangers of not understanding our role as citizens.
It was a good sized crowd, 250 - 300 with several journalists available, including one of the speakers, Todd Wilkenson, who is well known for his attention to wildlife/public lands issues over a few decades.
A lot of attention was paid to the large population of public servants and veterans in our area, we have an outsized number of both here.
There were a few assholes who felt the need to 'roll coal' in our direction while driving by but the wind defeated all their efforts, they made at least five passes in 90 minutes, a few yelled some bullshit about -45 and how we were to blame for something or some other bullshit. They looked and sounded really angry. We responded by laughing at them, no fingers or yelling back.
Then it was over but it was a good rally, at least it was sunny and above +45F.
There was also another rally in Gardiner, the north entrance to jellystone park, could have been larger than up in the city.
