This will all be on steroids if Biden wins. Several Idaho lawmakers appeared in a...video published Tuesday in which they question the existence of the coronavirus pandemic and state that they will ignore any state or local emergency orders that they claim violate their rights.

(182,826 posts)When a name was being selected for new territory, eccentric lobbyist George M. Willing suggested 'Idaho,' which he claimed was a Native American term meaning 'gem of the mountains'. It was later revealed Willing had made up the name himself, and the original Idaho territory was re-named Colorado because of it. Eventually the controversy was forgotten, and modern-day Idaho was given the made-up name when the Idaho Territory was formally created in 1863."

In August 2020, McGeachin headlined a rally organized by the right-wing, conspiracist John Birch Society at the rally in Twin Falls, in which speakers decried public health measures to combat the coronavirus.[18][24] At the rally, McGeachin criticized [Governor] Little and other state officials.[18][24]
. . .
McGeachin belongs to the far-right faction of the Republican Party,[20] and has appeared at a rally for the 3 Percenters, an anti-government militia movement group.[13] She opposes abortion and same-sex marriage, and supports gun rights.[25] She opposes Medicaid expansion and was a leading opponent of 2018 Proposition 2, a voter initiative to expand Medicaid coverage to about 62,000 Idahoans.[25][26] She opposes minimum wages, believing that government should play no role in determining wages.[25]
