Sadly, by the time voters wake up and get around to noticing what the radicals are up to, it’s too late. I’m hoping that voters will notice what the radicals just did on close-to-home, pocketbook issues this past session and vote them out in 2026.

A girl can dream, can’t she?

Greg, keep the spotlight on the bad actors in Idaho’s GOP. We are making progress; voters are more and more becoming receptive to our fact-filled messages.

These tactics are not unique to Idaho. Money, power and special interests all have become more aggressive and visible. All branches at the federal level have been infiltrated and the focus is now on state and local governments. While I suspect these tactics exist in both parties, the short term impacts and blatent rogue agendas are more prevelant in the Republican party.

I appreciate the objective and specific examples provided here. Unfortunately, aside from raising awareness at grass roots levels and in channels such as this, reaching and educating voters en mass is a matter of organized campaigns and that requires money.

The evangelical and militia groups have raised money through crowd funding and courting wealthy cohorts who are sympathetic to or can leverage momentum and support from followers of these movements.

I used to believe that the two party system would keep extreme ideologies and polices in check. That is clearly not the case. I now see that without significant mainstream engagement and involvement, the extremist agendas will prevail and as someone who courts these ideoligies has repeatedly stated, "if we don't fight like hell, we won't have a country".

This is how it has been Planned, Authoritarianism, Then FASCISM, on to Totalitarianism, Currently there is an OLIGARCHY in CONTROL of the Oval Office and 12 of the 15 Cabinet Positions.

Our Democratic Republic is in PERIL, SEVERE People Crushing ACTIONS are HAPPENING NOW, June 2nd 2025. Idaho is just a Small Puppet State of the LARGER OPPRESSIVE REGIME.
