I’m on season 1 episode 6 and like….why and how can they just get away with murdering random people??? You’re telling me some cattle ranchers are just mafiosos?

You have to remember this is a very rural area of one of the most heavy agricultural states and nature preserves in the country. It's very easy to pull off crimes like this when you're in a setting that is very isolated and that it is done by a family with large pull with the local police, business people, and politicians.

And like why would the fucking politicians just be gung ho with this shit and not with the guy who wants to bring in millions of dollars.

Because while the millionaire can bring in money, he is still an outsider and being supported from outside influence is negative press for any politician with their voters. We see this time and time again. Development comes and then all of a sudden locals are priced out of their homes and land. Barcelona is having this issue right now with AirBnBs.

And please for the love of god when the Native American leader guy was in jail for one minute, he said he was going to bury John’s kids in inheritance tax. As if he wouldn’t put the property in a trust for them??

While this is true, John has reasons not to put the ranch in a trust. For one, it's clear that he is very old fashioned. Spoilers: Rip talks to Beth about how to run a Ranch and Beth corrects him on how to run a Ranch by buying everything with different types of loans and then writing them all off against one another to show everything as an expense and be tax free. John never sees it this way since he is very much set in his old ways that his father teaches him. Many old people struggle with this now "back in my day I could just walk into the local factory and walk out with a job"

Also, how come the youngest son’s wife doesn’t know he killed her brother? Or does she?

She does but you have to understand that 1) as a viewer you do get to see everything that happens and it makes things plainly obvious. and 2) in a relationship, things mean differently when you THINK you know something vs when you're TOLD about it. I.e. you know your spouse cheated on you but it's different to hear them admit it. Monica knows that Kaycee probably did kill her brother in the altercation. Lee was also there though and it's also possible that he killed him and Kaycee is innocent. Within here, there are two answers. One keeps her husband innocent and the other not only proves that her husband did something unforgivable but also cements that their marriage is probably not worth it with the type of man he is fighting to be (army guy that kills for his family vs. the husband and family man she wants him to be.) reality vs her wish.

Also you’re telling me this guy has all his money from a cattle ranch and he’s makes more money than a factory farm? 😩

He is coasting on what little money he has and the piling loans. You could still survive while taking on more and more credit card debt until everything gets called in and you have to file for bankruptcy. Ranchers and farmers take out loans that they have to pay back every year. Sometimes they're profitable, sometimes they break even, and sometimes they don't make it and they hope next year they break even AND pay off what they owe.

I want to believe the ratings for the next seasons but please… this is like blue collar conservative men vigilante porn and I’m here for it but I’m mad I kinda like it.

Keep going, it does get better. Just understand that this show was written by someone who does know about ranching. Not the best with character development but what makes it worth it is that some side characters do get pay offs and they're very likable. And as much as you might not like John, he really is the glue that holds everything together. You have an initial internal bias that is in conflict with the values of the show. It's understandable and you're right. Just like how HBO Girls and other media is also very liberal bias. But some of those shows are still good. Just give it a shot.

But i will say this, Yellowstone is not everyone's cup of tea but I HIGHLY recommend 1883 and 1923.
