one other thought on this piece. idk if it would turn the tide, but opponents to these radicals have *got* to hammer on the fact they're all transplants from California. growing up, "damn Californians" was practically the Idaho state motto.

If what it describes isn't happening in your own red state yet, it unfortunately probably will. These kooks are on a mission, have made serious inroads to our state and local government and appear unwilling to stop at nothing to get what they want.

Always voting Democratic in the general, I registered as a Republican several years ago in order to gain a voice in very red Idaho. The repub party closed the once open primaries to registered repubs 10-15 years ago making that decision necessary. Later on today I will hold my nose, cast my ballot and walk back home shaking my head while knowing that voting for Little over McGeachin, Simpson over Smyth, etc. is the best I can do to help steer Idaho away from the abyss. Sometime tonight, this state will know the path it decided to take.
