I feel you. I’m Idaho born but have lived in CDA for 14 years and watched the community go from trying to distance itself from far right racism to barely dog whistling and trying to shut down the local collage.
I grew up here. People seem proud of being dumb. It was always a select few of proud ignorant people but now more people are embracing it. It’s very sad and disheartening.
Idaho born and raised, too. I left for good over ten years ago. Not coincidentally my social life and career have improved significantly in that time. They don’t deserve the good people that remain. They do deserve the enduring shitty national reputation they have thoroughly earned.
No surprise there.
I live in Idaho and a lot of my neighbors are so fucking dumb it seems like some sort of inside joke I’m not a part of.
