  1. That’s pretty much how I see it as well. The old Republican guard will be completely gone once Little is out of office — and the party that was once made up of great leaders like Phil Batt will be dead. The new guard is all MAGA cult or even worse. An Idaho Democrat is pretty much a Massachusetts Republican so I’m good casting my votr for their candidates. There is no room to votr for third party candidates in Idaho anymore due to the severity of consequences from the GOP lunatics gaining too much power. This terrifying dynamic started in 2016 and went on warp speed during the pandemic. As a result, I am registered as a Republican to votr in the primaries for the least extreme candidates and then will vote straight Democrat in the general. This is a sad state of affairs.
  2. Coeur d’Alene isn’t “local” for me. I can drive to Salt Lake faster than I can to the panhandle. Lol But yeah, that guy, Heather Scott, and the Idaho Freedom Foundation are all far right nut jobs. The chair of the Idaho Republican Party is Dorothy Moon and she’s also cut from this cloth, a true extremist radical who is pro-conspiracy and anti-vaccine … not just against Covid vaccines but all vaccines. She buys into the conspiracy that vaccines cause autism. I’m pretty sure she’s related to @Bob.
  3. One more point I’d like to make. The morons on the far right are so bent out of shape about things like transgender athletes yet they say events like what transpired in CDA are not a big deal. What do you all think happens more in our society today - a trans-athlete running track or an event like what happened in CDA? I’d venture to guess one is FAR more prevalent than the other. And one of these involves a victim and a perp while the other doesn’t.
  4. I’m not sure if this link will work but I wanted to share it because the post and comments demonstrates some of the dynamics that @halfmanhalfbronco, @bornontheblue, and I were trying to articulate: https://www.facebook.com/share/GZt8CePb3M6x2eAS/?mibextid=WC7FNe
  5. Yeah, it’s an ugly history and anyone who tries to deny it is either ignorant or has an agenda. This is one of the main reasons why I am so disgusted at those on the right who try to downplay the problem. As I mentioned in my earlier post, Stewart is a brave person for doing what he did, particularly after his predecessor was almost killed.
  6. Lo and behold— my old prof made the news: https://cdapress.com/news/2024/mar/27/stewart-racism-still-a-problem/
  7. Generally yes, I agree with it. And it makes me very sad.
  8. It will have an impact. The mayor, city council, and business community have a lot to lose from this shit but the ones who will ultimately feel it the most are the service-level employees who could lose their jobs. Sad consequences of ignorance and hate but maybe it will help act as a forcing function for people to turn out in mass to push back against the nut jobs.
  9. No. @utenation is a big personality but he’s usually open to talking issues through with people he doesn’t see eye to eye with. That is evident in this very thread, all you need to do is read through the back and fourth objectively to see it.
  10. You forgot to mention the hookers I was pimping.
  11. The Nez Perce are not a Nation anyone should ever try to fu*k with.
  12. I saw it that he did acknowledge there’s a problem up there. Which there certainly is a problem in North Idaho and anyone who denies it either doesn’t live in reality or has an agenda.
  13. To be fair to @soupslam1, that wasn’t what he was saying. There are very good people up there in spite of the problem. One of my favorite college professors, Tony Stewart, taught political science at NIC, he was a high up in the ACLU and faced those idiots down in public without fear. Tony was able to reconcile the good with the bad up there and he loved Coeur d’Alene. What needs to happen is more decent people in the area need to be more like Tony by making life far more miserable for the nut jobs in open society so they crawl back under their rocks in the far back woods.
  14. While the problem is more pronounced in the Idaho panhandle, it’s become an issue nationally. The Republican Party needs to stomp out and sever all ties with that garbage.
