Seth CotlarOver the past few years I’ve met far more students at my Oregon university who hail from Idaho. At some point, almost every one has mentioned how weird and scary things are getting there. https://religionnews.com/2023/02/22/how-big-christian-nationalism-has-come-courting-in-north-idaho/
Obviously many people in Idaho are quite happy to live in a place with an ascendant white Christian nationalist right, but that development is driving many young folks to consider moving elsewhere to escape it.
