Idaho is a fucking backwards social dump. The poor think they are rich because the land is a beautiful place and you get a lot of state and federal land that's available to anyone who wants to use it

but living 20 miles from the boarder most of my life had shown me how much of a social shit hole it is

Like driving there with Washington plates will single you out. Like parking and people in the parking lots will be rude to you for the audacity for wanting to visit their spaces and yet a huge population of theirs works in Washington State. So at rush hour, in the morning you see lots of Idaho plates going west and then in the evening they go east.

its not like we havn't know for ages that its a backwards place, but its nice to see the rest of the world coming to understand it

Idaho doesn't want kids being any smarter than the adults in change. Which is anything after 3rd grade.

I wish they were wrong that it was a big political or ideological divide, but here we are.
