We live just miles from the Idaho border and Coeur d Alene, in Washington state. We laugh when they make fun of “blue” Washington as they travel over here to get the legal pot, work for $17.00 an hour instead of $7.25, and find doctors who believe they should have free will over their body. LOL
I wrote back in 2022 that if Trump is reelected, democracy will not fail all at once, but in red-state pockets, one step at at a time. Like, say, this place in Idaho.

That would be ok, but cutting off funds to us would allow us to not send our money places like #West Virginia (and others) which we do now to prop them up financially.
