      Idaho was a sparsely populated state with Democrats and Republicans handing power back and forth all the way up until the 1980's when early patriot groups and militias began moving there en masse. Once they took power the standard of living declined dramatically. Something like one in three libraries ever constructed in Idaho has been shut down. The destruction of Idaho civil institutions is so pervasive that while almost every state has grown its amount of colleges in the past 30 years, Idaho hasn't .

      Look at Idaho's governors, besides a few periods of national conservative whiplash Idaho for awhile was the same sort of racist liberal stock that ran Oregon or Washington. The brainwormed turn into extreme libertarianism and christofascism destroyed much of the social fabric in Idaho in less than a generation.

      Liberalism wants us to believe progress is inexorable, but it ain't. Fuck Fukuyama.

        It's pretty wild that the State that produced Frank Church, an anti-CIA Democrat, has now just become a White Pride Refuge. Especially given the historic connections between that movement and the intelligence community.
