Boise needs no protection from anything.
The Boiseans who wanted to move to Portland have done so without interrupting Boise's independence, and Portlanders moved there expecting Boise to still be independent Boise.

Idahoans are a stubborn, independent people. It's very hard to try to force them into anything they don't want. If they are forced, they won't accept it.

Boise's spirit has always been just as it is now; the city has made mistakes, but it always finds its own way to resolve them to the resident's satisfaction.
As the state's Capital city, Boise has always been very adept at keeping Idaho's tendency to regionalize and fall into competing factions together.

The city has never held itself apart from the rest of the state.
It may be a bit more cosmopolitan now, but it's still all Idahoan, and Idahoans do not follow any other state's path. We never have, and we never will.

Sure, the rest of the nation influences us, but we always choose how those influences affect us.

If our trail is a hard one, so be it. It's ours, and we will travel on it. Only those who are willing to go our way along with us ever stay here for very long.

Up until the other night, I did also. I won't go in to detail as this isn't a political forum, however don't believe everything you read/hear from MSM.

If you have a good feeling about her then you also believe Trump lost the election? That is one of her biggest campaign topics.

Analysis: Just another week in the McGeachin chaos campaign
Kevin Richert 10/21/2021

A chaos candidate who is looking to unseat Gov. Brad Little by appealing to the hardcore faction of the Idaho GOP with a steady diet of red meat.

A dark money think-tank analyst working for Idaho Lt. Gov. Janice McGeachin’s office and campaign urges violence against law enforcement on social media.

“Parrish Miller is a well-known Idaho extremist,” said Mike Satz, executive director of the Idaho 97 Project—its name a riposte to the “Three Percenter” anti-government militias with whom McGeachin has repeatedly cavorted. “He utilizes very dangerous, very violent, very aggressive language very often online.”

The name is Lt. Gov. McGeachin, not Queen Janice

Now, through a bizarre set of circumstances brought on by herself, McGeachin has turned Idaho — and herself — into a national laughingstock. She has gained national attention from the Washington Post and CNN (among other outlets) for being that crazy lieutenant governor who decided to go rogue when Gov. Brad Little was out of the state.

It doesn't matter how stubborn and independent Idahoans are. This is a democracy and when enough incomers move in, they can out-vote the Idahoans and they don't care whether the original people accept it or not.


You don't want to believe that? Ask the old families from Oregon and Colorado.

Yeah but at the same time I've seen instances in other areas of the country when folks move in that don't fit in they are made quite uncomfortable and eventually leave once again. Don't count that out either. I still don't see things shifting like Oregon and Washington did here in Idaho. There may well be a few isolated areas (re: Boise) where that might apply, but don't count on a ton of change throughout the rest of the State. Stubborn does account for somethings.

This is already happening. The most populated area of the state, the Boise Metro Area (Boise has been a blue city for some time now) is shifting and the other democratic areas of the state are becoming more blue. The conservatives moving in are usually different compared to native or long time Idaho conservatives.

There will always be a divide between the rural and urban areas of any state and Idaho is no exception. The Boise area is one of the fastest growing in the nation, so it will be interesting to see how this area looks politically in 10 years.

Having seen what Idaho has to offer, I'd certainly feel bad if it went like Porkland...

That would be a cryin' shame.

(I like Idaho, a lot.)

Yes, it DOES matter.

A left leaning publication, an article that deals in social media and an opinion. Okay, am I to be impressed? Sorry, but I don't read leftist media as an informative source, nor am I on Facebook and opinions? Well everyone has one.
