I am a proud Democrat and remember when Democrats ran this state. I remember Cecil Andrus and Frank Church as national heros. Its also one of the first places that was unionized as mine workers and lumberjacks looked for protection from greedy bosses with no regard for workers. One of the first Unions in Idaho was the IWW - so we go back a ways.
The problems started when the Prop 1 boneheads showed up and started californicating Idaho. Its gone downhill since then. But you know what? There are plenty of other Democrats fighting an uphill battle to protect and expand peoples rights.
Please dont write this state off. We can use all the help we can get.

A crisis for a hoax?? Begs the question, are those idiots seeing the light yet? I suspect not.

I just know several "friends" who moved from CA there... So I might be over simplifying

At what point do you start to "get it?" Much of the country has devolved into QAnon/ Cult 45.

Easily duped and brainwashed by a "truth-teller." Forty years of AM radio did same thing here. n/t

No more then 30%. That's a lot but nowhere near a majority...unless you listen to the MSM

yeah, it's really true. "Liberal media" was one of the most blatant lies ever.

Mixed messages for sure on the last one! Can't believe John Birchers still exist. And Revenge Tour?

I guess all hate groups have coalesced around the Orange Hater Rat Fuck Supreme. Here we go.

In the middle of all this urgency the Governor has done nothing to accelerate vaccination

I'd give the unvaxxed full service...in a Hospice tent set up in the parking lot.
