They tend to vote Republican in national elections only because they believe Republicans will weaken protections for federal lands and open them up to for profit uses.
Suburbanites and city dwellers don't understand the impact of vast swaths of land locked up in national parks, monuments, forests etc. Not to mention federal control of water and natural resources. I agree with having land set aside for wildlife and I agree with the nations resources being used to help the majority instead of the few, but I also recognize it impacts the locals.
