Yes, Californians and other liberals took over our capitol. Since I come from CA, I didn't interfere, I just watch... and it's not pretty. Sadly, Idahoans who were disgruntled about some things here jumped on the liberal bandwagon because they think the CA influence is "progress." As a result, Boise is like CA-lite. It's not good.
Yes, there are a lot of those as well, but it sure seems they are outnumbered by the liberals. I could be wrong, but the fact that the mayor is a WEF Dem and the governor a RINO indicates that may be the case.
I spoke with a constitutional lawyer once who was trying to get states like Texas and Florida, etc. to put state statues in place where you wouldn't be able to register to vote unless you were born in the state or had lived there for 30 years. He said it could be legally done.
The far lefties ruined Vermont a couple decades ago and they are hard at work trying in New Hampshire, as well. Thirty years ago, who would have thought that Virginia and North Carolina could be turned? When I was a kid, North Carolina had the two most right-wing senators, perhaps in the history of the senate, Jon East and Jesse Helms. Now, its a purple cesspool, on its way to going full blue.
We are in the same purple boat in Georgia also. I think it is mainly due to the importation of lefties and illegals. Also indoctrination in the schools, society in general seems to be taking a liberal turn for the worse. Not to mention the media/propaganda machine.
Vermont sucks. The view is good but the stupid Communists think that "Vermont Strong" means proud to get the Clot Shot". I got kicked out of two food cooperatives in one day for refusing to wear a muzzle.
And I witnessed some Communists flying the Communist flag in a public park in Dover Vermont. I yelled at them and told them they should be ashamed of themselves and took their picture.
Is there any remnant of the strong private property and gun rights streak that used to exist in Vermont, or has it been "New Yorked" and "Bostoned" out of existence? I recall a time when I think that Vermont was the only open carry state and you didn't need a license for concealed carry. Also, landowners would shoot trespassers and go to war with corporations who fucked up their land.
One needs to ask permission to take down trees. (Tree-hugger paradise). The weekend before the law enacted, the most familiar sound in VT was chainsaws at work.
But, the boots on the neck Commie way didn't really work, right? Eastern Europe and Russia remain far more traditional than Western Europe. The Gramscian long road was more successful than Soviet-style communism. Those under Soviet control gave lip service to the state in public, but maintained a separate private life that preserved their traditions. In the west, the long road nearly completely erased our traditions and we'll never get them back in any semblence of their previous form.
Same happening/happened in Idaho.
My brother lived in Boise and the native Boiseans were irate about all the Californians taking over the city/state.
Remember, when you flee California or Massachusetts or New York, you are a refugee, not a missionary.

The ones who moved into our neighborhood the past few years are from Orange County and moderate/conservative voters. Can't lump them all together.

What's your opinion re: Greater Idaho movement?
Don't know enough about it to have one.
Always a reasonable answer.
That's the opposite of what I saw in Florida. The Covid refugees in Miami - who fled from blue state tyranny - are about as right wing as you can get.

California is trying or has enacted a law that even if you flee the state, you still have to pay state taxes.
The evil of the people running my state is breath taking.
Desperation is more like it
Came here to add Idaho too!

There is only a couple of ways to stop this.
Re-education camps like the Commie scum or a night of the long knives like the National Socialist scum.
