Idaho just leans so far right that it darn near falls down, whereas California does just the opposite. I do feel like conservatives in Idaho feel that in order to counter anything the left does, Idahoans need to do just the opposite, but 10 times over. Drive down any main road and you’ll see campaign signs where candidates refer to themselves as “true Republicans.” They have to put that because if you’re not a completely right leaning Republican then you’re a liberal. It’s all very bizarre…almost childish to a pathetic point…and I’m a conservative :/

I graduated from the U of I back in 1982 and have not been back since. Even though I live in the Colorado high country, Idaho has always remained in my heart. It’s interesting to read about how far out in orbit the politics are there.
