Most of the state is full of Trump-humper freaks. Worse than my neighborhood in rural Montana even, and that's pretty impressive.

The whole state is shot through with white supremacists.

Boise has a semi-active gay community. They are gay white supremacists.

Was there in 1996 and happened upon a white power type of rally when I went for a wedding. The wedding wasn’t until 5 pm so we had this whole day to drive around, what we thought was a fair was a klan like rally. Being a light skinned back woman with a white husband I was immediately uncomfortable and we spent the rest of the day in our hotel room being productive. I mentioned it later to a wedding attendee they told how that part of Idaho is a sundown part of Idaho.

And yes they communicate via Social Media and Pod Casts. The Militia's and Prepper's seem to be aligned along I -15 from Canada to Nevada.

A place where anti-masker, pro-Trump,2A, racists, fundies, and homophobes can call their own. Can we offer an incentive to infect 1 State?

There's a WHOLE LOT of absolutely nothing in some parts of Wyoming and Colorado that are doing essentially nothing right now. I think we should put them there. Leave the wild places for those who appreciate them.

Idaho grows lots of taters...bet they could make a good living processing taters at immigrant wages, here, though.

they could stay behind the monkey. Turns out when the monkey does enough adderall, he can do backflips pretty damn fast.

I'm pretty sure the drown-the-government-in-the-bathtub types didn't think the citizens would turn on them, but here we are. Somebody advocating for a larger library budget doesn't seem quite so threatening anymore, huh boys?
