(48,955 posts)His traditional repub parents laughed that he was the most conservative of their kids. (All millenials, the others vary from moderate left to further left.)
He went to med school in Boise (entering class of the new DO med school).
At Christmas I asked him how he was doing (in his last year of rotations in Idaho during an extended period of medical emergency where no hospitals could take patients from other facilities due to over full ERs). In the discussion, he referred to Boise as a blue bubble - in a tone of appreciation for being buffered from the worst of the aggressive covid denying protesters (dec 2021).
He has gotten more moderate as he went through med school during covid - even in a red state. Your description of the school board results matches what he described a year ago. That leaves me (in another red state) with at least a little bit of hopefulness for the future.
