Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Can you explain for a non-american what this means?
Thx now I got it <3
I don't see it as hateful. The country was set up so that people have freedom of movement and can live amongst like minded people in other states.
If anything, the best thing people can do for each other is set up nonprofits that help people with moving costs when they are unhappy with the majority political mindset in their area.
Cool, but what if they were also homophobic Nazis?
That'd be great if we didn't have things like the EC, I guess. What we really need is liberals to be distributed just enough in this country so as to neutralize the rural vote. :)
Idaho is where all the white supremacists and legacy Ku Klux Klan members escaped to due to low cost of living and very few people with melanin in their skin living there.
This article is saying that a private business ran by a right wing extremist is offering progressive thinkers and leftists a free service
Ok so many people (relatively) in Idaho are not just "red" but outright fascist/nazis/extremist?
That is correct, yes.
Idaho is not a state you want to live in unless you are white, hard right conservative, Christian, cis-, and straight. You probably don't want to have too much education either.
