Lots of Californians moving to Idaho. Will Idaho turn Dem in the near future?

Maybe conservatives in like OC can afford it but Idaho is now only a bargain relative to the crazy prices in the major metros like LA and SF.

“It’s where the market has taken us,” McFerrin said, because in just the past year the median home price in the Boise area had risen from $360,000 to $523,000. “It seems crazy, but this is basically our new average.”

Holy shit. In Boise? In fucking Boise, Idaho?

How are the oligarchs itching for aristocracy and feudalism going to get their very own serfs if they don't buy up all of the land first?

And their rationale is bullshit and they know it. Its the same dumbass argument that led us to this place nationally, by the media acting like instead of ignoring lying full of shit assholes we should give them a spot to spout their shit and that just refuting it will work. At some point you'd think people would wise up but nope. In the meantime anti-science by every means (be it aliens, bigfoot, flat-earth, "germs aren't real", etc) makes a comeback because ignorance is allowed to propagate. This behavior is right up there with Twitter/Facebook doing nothing about similar and they're similarly to blame for the results.
