Conservative family who relocated from California to Idaho to escape liberal politics reveal why they've now moved back - www.dailymail....
"A conservative family who moved from California to Idaho have returned due to difficulties 'fitting in.'
Melvin Galang and Coree Ray made the return trip to the blue state in April, taking to TikTok to announce the U-turn. Both cited 'judgmental attitudes' and gossip as reasons for fleeing.
They first moved to Idaho in 2021, leaving the LA suburb they called home and taking along their two twin daughters for the ride, as well as Coree's four kids from other relationships."

Love this story. Non white conservatives learn right wing racism first hand.
🤣👌
Just goes to show that "The grass ain't so green on the other side."
@@michaelmartinez3674 Plot twist… the grass is white too!
Truly deplorable 😂😂😂
Problem is. It's not because of race at all. Rather they moved into one of the largest Mormon cities outside of Utah. Had they moved to around Boise there would have been no story.
It's easy to be conservative in a blue state, you don't have to suffer the consequences of the conservatism.
Yeah I have seen this first hand from people who call themselves conservative and live in a blue stat. It is a real shocker for those conservatives who are not white.
Better to not be Con….ive in general.
@@420girl4life well said
BREAKING NEWS: Conservatives realize what conservatism looks like when you are on the receiving end of it and reject it.
Interracial couples who identify as Conservative will always baffle me. It's the party that wants to ban interracial marriage.
I think they’re lost, because they think the way conservatives think but because of their colour or sexual orientation etc will be rejected by the majority of conservatives.
Kind of like the Verband nationaldeutscher Juden, a Jewish organization that supported the Naz regime, and thought BroomLip McMethHead's antisemitism was only for "stirring up the masses". Take a wild guess how that worked out for them, kids!
I still can't understand how Log Cabin Republicans is a thing.
Intolerance is bad, period.
@@wvu05forget them, there are actually transgender conservatives, despite the fact that the right has basically declared holy war against them
Reminds me of Obama's reelection when a bunch of conservatives got onto Twitter and said if he got reelected they'd move to Australia. Multiple Aussies reminded them that we have universal healthcare, restrictive gun laws, nationally legalised gay marriage, and abortion is considered a private matter between a woman and her physician. Turns out they wouldn't have liked it here. 😂
In Florida in 20q2, I had students complain about Obama winning who were "joking" about moving to Canada. I informed them that Canada was more socially liberal than the US, and if they wanted someplace more conservative to try Russia. They weren't impressed.
Not only that, it was policy that Australia required either a job or $1M in the bank to immigrate in. Not sure what the current policy is, but the intent was to keep people from moving in and going on the dole - like in U.S. red states.
not sure where you got the legalised gay marriage thing from, like most things Aus was wayyyyy behind USA on that one, same as drug laws and the like, we are always 10-15 years behind USA on most social policies. So yeah gay marriage only became legal in 2017 and abortion only became legal where i live QLD in 2018, both well after Obama's time.
@@Iggsy81 my statement wasn’t a timeline comparison nor do I see how you could interpret it that way. It was pointing out the obvious fact that if Trump fans “fleeing” from a Democratic US President think they’d find their haven in Australia with their well publicised wishlist of highly restrictive abortion policies, lax gun laws, anti gay policies, and healthcare which isn’t “communist” (their generic description of universal healthcare), they’d be in for a shock.
@@Iggsy81 my comment wasn’t a timeline competition. Just pointing out that if you’re a deep MAGA conservative trying to “flee” your perception of an excessively liberal society or government, Australia (and almost any other modern western nation) is probably not the place you want to flee to.
I live in CA. Have seen a bunch of conservatives complain about CA and move out of state, only to return in a year or two. One guy had an EV. Super common in CA. In the state he moved to, he got a LOT of flack for driving an EV, including political related insults. He moved back to CA. He said the people in the other state were not accepting of outsiders. The same complaint this guy had made, essentially saying the liberals in CA are too accepting of others. (Safe harbor cities, pronoun normalization, etc) Gee, it’s so terrible to be accepting of others different than you… 🙄
Idaho, the only state where a stray dog has access to birth control but a tax paying human doesn’t.
Hey, Idaho has “a different standard of Medicare” 🙄
People in this country have somehow forgotten that “liberal” and “democratic” are not political labels, but good general qualities that any sane person wants. I dunno.
No, you are absolutely correct. But to really understand why being anti-democratic and un-Constitutional is so dangerous to this nation, consider this.
There is no economy in the United States without democracy, because there is no dollar without democracy and here’s why- On the day that the United States is no longer a democracy, that is also the same day that all of the U.S. treasury bonds go to zero, because they must. The democratic government that issued, sold and guaranteed those bonds would no longer exist. Does anyone really believe that Trump would guarantee those bonds? The whole world knows this and that’s why every inch we get closer to not being a democracy inflation will get worse and worse. No one wants to be caught holding our treasury bonds when the United States ceases to be a democracy, and the central banks that bought all of the U.S. debt that was dumped during the 30 months after 1/6, do not count as currency held by foreign nations, because central banks are not nations. The dollar is a fiat currency and being such it requires three fundamental conditions be met for the dollar to even be a viable currency on the world stage. The dollar must be sought after by other nations, it must be held as a store of value by other nations and it must be used by other nations. Currently none of those conditions are being met and when those conditions are not met the dollar loses value and we see that as inflation.
@@WA_S_S_AW Trump would destroy this country and in its place erect erect an elitist corporate plantation without any checks and balances . His ilk have contempt for humanity .
Conservatives: Screw blue states, we're moving to a Red state!
Also Conservatives: Wow! Red states suck! 😮😮😮😮
Why are Red Voters so miserable? Because they live in Red States. Why are Red States so miserable? Because they're full of Red Voters.
And they still can't seem to figure out this puzzle.
Conservatives in California: we hate it here because of the high taxes let’s head to a state with lower taxes.
Goes to red state realize infrastructure, job opportunities and government services are all terrible and the people are awful
Yup; A coworker of mine moved from Cali to Texas "because taxes", but then about 2 years later his wife was diagnosed with cancer... Moved right back to Cali for accessibility and affordability.
Funny huh
The people are not awful. The family from California looks awful. I’m not surprised they didn’t fit in. Go back to California where everyone wants to be famous. Yawn.
Just remember, here in the Midwest, we don’t want you moving out here no matter what your political affiliation is, we’ve had the same circle of friends that we grew up with, we’re not interested in meeting new people, and the second we know you’re from California, we really don’t want to know you.
@@jamesvonborcke I have a good friend that moved to Texas about a year ago and bought a nice house 🏠 not gonna lie buuuuuutttt. Reality came knocking when he found out how much personal property Tax is going to hit them. Plus their house recently got flooded badly. He just told me a couple of days ago they are thinking about selling it and moving back mainly because of family support and network. Sometimes the grass isn't always greener on the otherside.
I spent several decades in Idaho, grew up in the panhandle. F Idaho. It's a nightmare.
I drove past the Aryan Nations compound on my way to work for years!
Liberals allow others to live and let live, conservatives want to tell you how to live like them.
Not even really *like* them. You get to stick to the rules, they're all adulterers or rapists or running scams to rip people off. Trying to subvert and cheat in elections while accusing liberals of election fraud, while inciting violent overthrow of legitimate governments, buddying up with Proud Boys, and probably trafficking kids and sexually abusing them, then squealing about persecution when caught and convicted. And that's just the politicians.
absolutely 👍🏼💪🏽the MAGA crowd just want to boss everyone; just like Munich in the 1930s . It’s my way or highway, totally intolerant and close minded
Betting conservative means something different in Idaho, than California.
A lot of people are finding out that "conservative" is often a euphenism for "intolerant". They don't care how pious you are or how often you go to church. You will never be one of them.
Yes. Much more libertarian and live and let live. The white is right bullshit is not the norm.
If you ain’t white you ain’t right…thats what it means in Idaho.
@@kaym7704 Sounds like rural PA, according to the census, This area is 97.5% white. You don’t get that humber by accident, especially this close to the Mason-Dixon Line.
Yeah a biracial couple that does TikTok dances with their kids doesn’t sound Idaho level conservative.
They moved in an effort to give their kids a better life... almost like the parents at the southern border.
Huh.
Guess they didn't perform much in the way of homework - huh?
No, they said they moved to go to a conservative state. "Better life" can mean anything. They determined, though, that the better life was back in California.
There is nothing on this beautiful green and blue planet that could even tempt me to live in a red state!
As a fairly liberal person who lives in Idaho from California I hate it. This place is dictated and governed by religious zealots and there is a major power struggle in the cities which are being pushed to more liberal ideals. Racism is rampant and the raging hypocrisy is astounding
I've lived all over the US and now live in a Red state. This is the only place where I've seen people yell at the librarian about books they don't like, and someone yell at a restaurant manager about the content on the (muted) TV. Not to mention that the sidewalks are never cleaned, there are potholes everywhere, abandoned buildings falling down, what I call "front yard junkyards", packs of wild dogs everywhere. I'm working on getting the hell out of here, as I've discovered that living in a Red state really does suck ass.
My parents retired to northern Arkansas. I knew what it is like, but my wife was shocked.
Idaho native here. 9 out of 10 times Idaho is on the news, it's because of something embarrassingly stupid we did. 🤦
North Carolina native here. I feel your pain.
Pretty bad in South Carolina too. I feel ya.
Native Idahoan too. But I got the hell out of there as soon as I could.
Like almost elect Ammo Bundy as governor for that state ?
@sawtooth808 lol Ammo Bundy I like that. Yeah Ammon ran, got 17% of votes too... smh.
Much, much easier to be a conservative in a liberal place, than a liberal in a conservative place.
Much safer too.
Idaho born and I love my state. We fought years to rid ourselves of the Nazi Aryan nation and the national bad rep they caused. We were doing pretty good until the rise of the ultra right Christian extremists who want to put the country back a couple hundred years and figure moving here means they can take over to create their own litt!e American Taliban sub nation.. Currently we are experiencing yet another population boom of immigrants from other states. Just like the 70's and 90's people move here and expect the same lifestyle and public services they had available where they came from. Which has always made me wonder why they moved to begin with if they weren't looking to change.
Considering what the legislature has been doing to women's rights and the health care disaster they've caused I'm not sure any woman should even visit Idaho until some sort of sanity returns.
What did they expect moving to a state that has a large white supremacy population.
Not really my friend. The white supremacy folks would love that you think that though. The propaganda is working on someone.
Life long Idahoan here, I've said it for as long as I can remember.
Idaho would be great if it wasn't for all the Idahoans.
Oh, I'm sure some of the non-Christians there are at least okay. All eight of them.
*I know, only 51% identify as strongly religious, but the attitude's pretty much the same.
I'm sure the nez perce would agree
I can't believe an ideology based on hatred and selfishness turned out to not be welcoming...
When you try to find "your people" and realize those people are a-holes.
As a British person in Bulgaria, I actively avoid British people who live here.
People like this don't realize they aren't really "conservative"..
By California standards, maybe they are “conservative”
Things are different in red states. Way different!
"Conservative" means totally different things depending on where you are. I grew up in a very Republican district in the North and their conservative philosophy was government off your back. Later on I lived in Alabama, which is very Republican, and their conservative philosophy is to use the heavy hand of government to impose Christianity.
Conservative has no meaning anymore !
I knew a lady once who kept insisting she was CONSERVATIVE even though she was one of the first female paramedics, lived in California and supported gay marriage and abortion rights. Like isn’t that just plain old democrat?
@@benevolencia4203 The culture war stuff shifts things around in weird ways. Some people see trans people yelling ironically about “coming for your kids!” or hear about the “crime waves taking over blue cities” on FauxNews and lean the other way even though they retain their normal opinions on the common stuff like abortion , gay rights and Medicare. It’s just a weird hysteria thing but if you were to sort of skim that hyperemotional media brainwashing off and really look at opinions on major platform stuff , plenty of Conservatives and staunch Republican voters aren’t at all far from average Democrat voters and are instead voting that way because they are emotionally involved regarding certain things they think “the other side” is doing. Similar to how you see the youngsters refusing to vote for “Genocide Joe” when they know it will probably ensure Trump’s election. It’s a “principled vote” sort of phenomenon
If your Hispanic or black and conservative, congratulations, you played yourself.
29% of Hispanics with voting rights voted for Trump in 2016. 39% for Republicans in 2022. Make it make sense
Idaho is racist AF!! I SERVED WITH SOME IN THE MILITARY!!
When they’re one kind of “unaccepting,” they tend to be that way in other ways as well.
I’m staying well clear of Idaho.
Wait. Are you telling me that conservatives are in real life what they act like online? Shocking.
A long time ago I moved from New Mexico to Idaho... I guarantee you this family was treated badly because of racism and their interracial relationship.
On behalf of the California delegation, Idaho can keep them.
In other words, you had to behave like every other conservative.
Imagine, living in a liberal and inclusive area fits better for a conservative family to live freely to choose how they live.
So you moved from somewhere that was liberal enough to feel safe, and you hated that, to somewhere so conservative that you don't feel safe? And you hated it more? FAAFO
Looking Hispanic in Idaho was not a well thought out move.
I'd imagine anybody non WASP is looked down upon.
@@keathp2744 My good man, looking “WASP” is not enough in these towns. This is whole nother animal; you will instantly be found lacking even at your best attempt. The locals will have made you out as soon as you walk in the door. Now they won’t beat you up or harass you but you will never fit in. I’m sure some other former Idahoans will agree.
Unless you need a job picking spuds……
My spouse is from Idaho and we visit every year (unfortunately). Those are angry, angry people. You can feel it in the air. And….we no longer drive because we would get so much hate with our California license plates. So we fly now, but I always have to prepare myself mentally for going there. I don’t know why it’s such a shock that a far right state would be somewhere that people don’t have manners and gossip about others. Duh!
Lived in Idaho for 23 years. You are spot on!
Sir, Why are they that angry? what's bothering them?
I cannot imagine anything more self-loathing than being a POC and a conservative.
Well stated!
There is, Its being LGBTQ and conservative yet they exist.
The United States of America 2024: Consider the color of your skin BEFORE you move.
“…and whether you measure up fully in all the *other* ways as well.”
I know so many people who moved to Texas for similar reasons but then regretted it. Many couldn’t come back to California because the house they sold now would cost them $300,000 more. I came here from Kansas in my late 20’s and couldn’t buy a house until my late 40’s but it’s nice here. Kansas is my roots but I couldn’t live there again. One thing many people get wrong though about leaving California is the thought that they can make the same amount of money in their new state. Not unless you are retiring. It’ll probably pay 1/3 the amount you made and the job pool won’t be even close to what you had. For those who say you can now work remotely, companies are now adjusting pay based on location.
Who would move to Texas?

It's hilarious that they think conservatives aren't judgemental.
😮 What a shocker!? A conservative state not friendly or polite?
But call themselves Christian’s. Lol
The problem is wherever an unhappy disgruntled person goes...they take themselves with them. Maybe it's not the people or the place that's the problem... maybe it's them
There's no evidence that they were unhappy, they just said they wanted to move to a conservative state. Also, if you don't think culture varies by state, you haven't traveled enough. I moved back to Wisconsin a couple years ago. I'd forgotten, after 20 years in Illinois, how being an alcoholic with multiple DUIs is not frowned upon here. Within a few months of being back I'd had at least a half-dozen people casually mention their DUIs to me like it was also normal to me, which it is not.
@@RepentImmediately if they think California is more conservative I think it's their perception more so than their location
I mean, yeah, but. They're not white. And it's Idaho. 🤷
I've lived in Idaho for 35 years and still get told to go back to California.
Idahoans have a strong disdain for anyone from California.
Almost as bad as those fools that moved to Russia.😂😂😂
They forgot, in Idaho, they are the wrong color.
Haha, they forgot that conservative is a euphemism for narrowminded.
LOL, they though Idaho was Conservative but fact is Idaho is Far Reich.
What’s the difference ?
Well now, they never said that they were racially harassed. 🤔
Maybe they weren't, "christian" enough.
They're so conservative, they prefer to live in a liberal state as they themselves prefer to enjoy the benefits of living around liberal ideology, whilst promoting conservative views.
Like becoming vegan, but wanting to eat a steak.
*eating a steak.......
This is what kills me ab non white conservatives.... they genuinely believe theyll be the people who change how conservatives feel ab people of color. NOPE! Just tap dancing for someone else and then being shown youre less than to them. JUST LIKE WE FN TOLD THOSE DIPSH*TS! We told them theyd be the first people on the other side of the wall, but they insist theyre different! I hope this family unalives itself.
Thats what I'm hoping happens to Texas. Move enough Californians there, and turn it blue.
Lol y'all all moved to Austin, then all moved out in tears a week later, and changed nothing.
Learned a lesson about what “conservative” really means to “conservatives”
My sister just moved back to California from Texas for similar reasons. Doesn’t matter how conservative you are, the minute they found out her family came from California, they were ostracized. Sold their house and moved in with me. No judgements even though we aren’t politically aligned.
I'm a white male. I live in Seattle now. When I was 20 my rock band was based in Coeur d'Alene. We toured all over Idaho, Montana, Canada, and the Midwest. Even though I grew up in Port Orchard in Kitsap County which was a Republican stronghold in Western WA with very few black people around, the overt white tr*sh racism (in Idaho in particular) was offensive to me. I thought way too many people there were childishly racist there. That was 40 years ago, and it appears, things haven't changed much.
do you expect conservatives to change much? By DEFINITION, they don't.
@@SeeJayPlayGamesactually they did change, for the worst in the trumpestphere.
So they moved because they're judgmental and are unhappy because the people around them in their new home are judgmental too?
When are black and brown conservatives going to realize they’ll never have a seat at the table. You can be religious and still have liberal ideologies on issues.
...that is the damn truth.
But then what's the point, my mother grew up very religious, so it meant alot to her, she also grew up with alot of trauma that led her to accept liberal attitudes and free thinking, as she's gotten older and more experienced she's realized that to avoid falling back into the attitudes that she was raised with that she had to keep adjusting her religious beliefs every few years until finally it dawned on her that she was just making stuff up to keep the religion alive in her mind and that her experiences with the people in her life were more valuable than constantly rewriting a set of rules to live by
Half-black, learned that lesson in my 20s. You'll NEVER be accepted by the ride-or-die-repubs, they will talk down to you and take advantage, stalk every step you take, and tread on you when you try to stand up for yourself. They're very big on the whole "fall in line, I'm better than you."
Tim Scott is trying really hard....😅
I love how pretty much everything they hated about the opposing side in California is an actually reality in Idaho. They wanted a bunch of people who shared their "values" and they didn't like it. Jokes on them.
A few years back we lived in a 98% white (republican) city(sonona) in northern California. I'm Hispanic and my wife is white. We had the same experience. The people were kind of low life kind of people, racist and not very nice. Alot of items at the local Walmart were under lock and key. I would find half eaten chicken from the deli in the isles, half eaten pasties in the restroom stalls. we thought maybe it was because it was somewhat a poor town. We were wrong. We live in a 98% Hispanic town for 3 years now, still a poor town. The local Walmart here is super clean, nothing is under lock and key. You can tell the people here take pride in themselves. No one begging at the intersection. The people here are very, very nice. White is NOT always right 😁
Very often not !
All those excuses are just a way to avoid saying that the locals were racist
Ah yes, the pick me's when they find out that the leopards will absolutely eat their faces...
👀 *I see what you did there!*
😁😅🤣😂😅
Idaho is like gated community for white nationalists
Californians are not monoliths! They could have easily moved to a more conservative area of California….theres plenty! 😅
I’m from Hanford CA originally, Red as HELL! In fact most of the Central Valley is. LA is expensive but it beats being around a bunch of nasty MAGA types.
@@Lunasenttry the counties that are gold country. It’s pretty conservative here.
@@montaredpanda8095Gross
They would've even moved to one of the more rural parts of Oregon. Still pretty conservative, but not as awful to live in as Idaho.
@montaredpanda8095 far northern part of California, around Mt. Shasta or Redding, is pretty similsr.
They should have done research first. Couer d’Alene is not a hospitable place, and it’s well known for its supremacist ties. It’s too bad, too, because it’s a beautiful place. My mom was a native Idahoan and a conservative. She didn’t like it there.
As a Canadian, I'd apologize if someone steps on my foot. Diversity is the corner stone of growth and compassion.

So I end up watching hockey in Moose Jaw one day.
Was seated next to a farmer, I disclosed my American citizenship, a little later he started talking about going to gatherings with Trump-loving North Dakota farmers, I initially sympathized. Then I remembered “wait, Western Canada, more conservative” and for some reason tried to sympathize with their “economic plight.” The response… a death stare, basically Canadian violence, a reminder that Canadian conservatism is probably to the left of most of America (with a few glaring recent exceptions).
The grass is always greener on the other side until you take a bite and realize it tastes like sh*t.
Just like the fools that moved to Russia!
"We're loyal members of the Leopards Eating People's Faces party, so why are the leopards here trying to eat *OUR* faces?!?"

I would love to see black conservatives like Byron Donalds, Tim Scott, and Candace Owens. Along with black trump voters who swear that American is not a racist country, move to Whitedaho for 3 years like this family than talk about racism.
Basically that dude’s Mexican but thought he was white. Then realized…oh shit
It’s hilarious to me people think they’re conservative just because they don’t like liberal media.
Almost everyone is progressive, they’re just lost in political jargon.
not only lost but the Overton has slid so far to the right that they dont even know where theyre standing any longer.... so much so that ya have families like this not understanding theyre engaged in white supremacy with mixed race children...
having a good community is not really part of conservative ideology
I have a niece who moved from San Diego to northern Idaho a few years ago. She and her husband white, and they both made high wages. They moved to Idaho because they are far right MAGA cultists. My niece's father, my brother has lived in Idaho since the '70s. In the mid '90s my brother started to change politically. He turned into a person I don't know anymore. My brother, who was once a hippie, is now a foam at the mouth racist MAGA cultist. About a year and a half ago I was in Northern Idaho for the first time in 34 years. I could actually feel the distrust and disdain for outsiders. I don't remember Idaho being that bad in in the '80s. I have lived in rural Louisiana for the last 30 years. I hear about the deep south and its racism all the time, but I can tell you from experience that the south doesn't even begin to compare to Idaho.
Another probkem is Doctors leaving because they cant give complete Female care
There are people in the comments here who find purple hair more offensive than xenophobia and bigotry. That explains a lot…
Everyone is the hero of their own story... that included every racist pos to ever live.
I live in SC. I’ve met many people who left CA or NY because they couldn’t take being red in a blue state. Their biggest complaint is that they’re tired of “one-party rule”!!! Bless their hearts!!!! They’ve moved to a state that’s been run by one party for decades!!!!
im confused at why this says they regret it lol
In short, they were on the receiving end of conservatives' bad attitudes/behaviors for the first time, and didn't like it. It always has to happen to them personally, or someone very close to them, before they can understand. Whether that means someone they love being killed in a mass shooting, or being treated like outsiders for the first time, it all comes down to a lack of empathy. They can't look at another person's situation and say 'How would that affect me, were I in their shoes?' It has to happen to them. When they say 'friendly' and 'not friendly,' they mean 'friendly TO US.'
It doesn't seem like this family actually learned their lesson tho. They are still proud conservatives, you can easily tell from how they worded the subtitles in their tiktok. Nothing's changed.
Idaho isn't just conservative, it's Mormon.

Califonia is the nicest place ive ever lived. People were scary nice. It took a while to get used to.
I am a 64 year old tree-hugging liberal living in small town Idaho. I feel like a little blue dot in a giant sea of red. Less than a mile from my home is a house that flies the confederate flag 🤮 When we moved here from a larger city, I had no idea. Certain areas of Idaho are very liberal, particularly Boise.
Don't be stinking up the place with your stupid liberal bs.

Like the Canadian conservative Christian family that moved to Russia, the white Christian motherland, to escape homosexuality without doing any research or learning to speak the language, got in trouble because of mom making a video criticizing the government, and then complaining about the cost of moving back to Canada.
Oh my, Russians do not accept Christianity tho. Only the Orthodox faith specifically, nothing else. You can very easily get a visit from the police if you are of different faith and let ANYONE know. Jehovahs Witnesses are notoriously victims of horrible violence in Russia, and they are Christians.

Don’t get me wrong, I know amazing people of color , amazing families of color. But I know an amazing “conservative” very white family of five that moved from California to Idaho and back again within one year! They said the conservatives there were prejudiced, paranoid and angry. They came back a lot less conservative.
There's a shocking number of actual Nazis in Idaho. Was previously the home of the Aryan nation and they are trying to make a comeback in the panhandle.
awesome...because being a Nazi is the very definition of American patriotism. SO SO gross...
They were probably treated like they treat black people. Not very many people like that.

Besides the white supremacists, Idaho has a large and growing Mormon population. They have a tendency to be very clannish and not very accepting of non-mormons.
White supremists - Mormons…. Same difference.
Thankfully the mormon population is "dwindling" but the "why can't we have white pride month" folks are still rubbing their two brain cells together in idaho.
Not to mention extremely racist, homophobic and sexist and all the other good stuff. And they have two POC daughters. Idk what they were thinking before they moved. Have they done no research at all? Irresponsible.
Hmmm maybe this is a wakeup call for not only the parents but the children. The conservatives are like this. It's literally integral to the politics
Bingo
Post Dobbs, who in their right mind would take two young daughters to a "conservative state"?
"Pregnant, barefoot and in the kitchen" certainly isn't the future I had in mind for mine.
#UnderHisEye - they think it's a roadmap, not a warning.
*Blessed be the fruit* 😔
Don’t be fooled:
From my experience: Red state republicans are extremely to the right of blue state republicans. Those relocating from blue to red states for political reasons may come to regret the move.
Ya for the most part blue state conservatives don't care that much about gay marriage, immigration, abortion, the church being the rule of law n other social issues. They think they do until they move to a red state n learn how serious those ppl take it. If u show any sign of individualism in a red state they will destroy u. It's uniform thinking.
WHA?? Ulta conservatives are not very tolerant of or kind to other people?? Say it ain't so!
My brother lives in Boise and he hates the whole state. He says he doesn't even honk at people for cutting him off on the freeway because he doesn't want his family murdered in a road rage incident.
People in Boise are actively seeking road rage incidents rather than by happenstance. That's the glaring difference.
Holy shit. At my old workplace, a bunch of conservatives got together, and within a month they had all turned on each other. It's almost as if their heightened sense of paranoia that made them distrust outsiders with different backgrounds also worked against their own members. It was...kind of funny, I won't lie
A microcosm of what always eventually happens in fascist regimes. Once the initial "undesirables" of the out-group have been "dealt with" and pacified/excluded/eliminated leaving just the in-group, their vitriol and hateful rhetoric inevitably turns inwards. It's like a law of the universe or something. And it's because every "conservative" lacks one basic trait: empathy.
@AK-cr5pe you're right. Their sense of community is built on expelling "outsiders", so when there's nothing left to expel, they start expelling each other
Parents need to stop using their children for likes on social media.
Right and get a real job instead of using their family as props
I mean they moved their two daughters to a state that treats women like complete trash. Do you honestly think they care about their children and their well-being all that much?
Racism was clearly a factor. They just didn’t want to admit it. Diverse states are more kind in my opinion.
People who live in diverse cities tend to mind their own business. They have more important things to worry about than gossiping about other people.
Those ultra conservatives in Idaho aren’t gonna take too kindly to your mixed family.
Hopefully they realize how wrong they’ve been this whole time
You've put your finger right on why I cannot be a Republican. The GOP is where the KKK, Nazis, and other types of white supremacists hang their hat. Only a fraction of the GOP base is virulently racist, in all fairness. But the white supremacists believe the GOP is their party. These are folks who would throw my wife and children into the ovens for being untermenschen. They'd torture me to death for being a blood traitor. The folks who claim to love the military would cry that my service doesn't count for anything because my choice to marry outside the white race proves I hate my country. There is nothing that the lunatics of the Left believe that is anything like the worst of the Right.
In my experience, conservatives have a significantly lower capacity for empathy than liberals. That is a big part of what makes them conservative. Now, conservatives will generally deny this and claim that they are empathetic towards others all the time. The problem is that their empathy really only extends to people like them, so it's not really empathy at all. We see this all the time, where conservatives suddenly care about an issue when it affects them, when they may have been vocally on the other side prior to that. It's why they do things like give a pass to a Wall St banker with a cocaine habit while wanting the poor black kid with a crack habit locked up for life.
In this particular case, the conservatives that these people met likely thought of themselves as all the good things that these people felt they weren't. The problem was likely that they were all those things to people like them but this family were not like them, despite obviously having some similar political views, and so they didn't get that treatment. They got the outsider treatment instead.
Right. Like if their neighbor's house burn's down and there was no ins. they all will pitch in and donate but get mad about a kid taking his summertime free lunch home to his mom. All homeless people could just get off their lazy asses and work if they want to survive. Women should make sure to keep their leg's closed because we ain't giving no free handouts in Idaho. Drunk driver's are shown empathy here because "None of us were so innocent when we were young either". Male's here are giving weak sentences for D.V. because they "Have to make a living". Instead of feeding and housing their pets they get tattoos and dump the dog along a dirt road. The list goes on and on.
Some of my family moved from California to Idaho. Thankfully, the housing prices shot up before my father could follow. I don't think he'd like the reality of the cold/snow, being unable to walk to his favorite Thai or Mexican restaurants, the healthcare deserts, and my refusal to visit until after I go through menopause (I have multiple high-risk factors for ectopic pregnancy and terrible luck when it comes to health issues; it would be just like my drama-queen body to have that kind of emergency in a place which has destroyed gynecological healthcare).
It's the Mormons. I lived in Idaho for two years because I graduated from college in 2008 and there were no jobs in my state. Idaho has a perpetual pink collar worker shortage, so it is easy to find a teacher job there. The state was pretty if you like mountains and don't like deciduous trees, but the Mormons were kryptonite to my Midwest girl heart. They couldn't even fake being nice well. I started to do little things to purposely irritate them, since fitting in seemed impossible, like chaperoning school dances in sleeveless dresses.
Mormons are grifters from the get go, so they fit right in with MAGAts
