The Stink of Racism is All Over My State
I live in a red, conservative state. You don’t have to drive very far to see Confederate flags hanging from people’s homes or vehicles. Not just from trailers. Nice homes. Expensive trucks.
You’ll also see Trump and Let’s Go Brandon flags. Don’t Tread on Me Flags. Police Lives Matter flags. Fuck Joe Biden Flags. So many flags.
Idaho is one of the fastest-growing states in the nation. We have the beauty of the outdoors all around us. We have four seasons of mostly wonderful weather. And we have a BIG problem with racism, sexism, bigotry, and homophobia.
You see, Idaho is controlled by religion. We have a large population of Mormon citizens. Many of the members of this religious organization are politicians, business owners, and wealthy or well-off people. Think of Gilead from The Handmaid’s Tale, but not quite that fucked up. Yet.
We also have a large percentage of our population that are conservative Christians. Most of which are in name only. Many of them are the biggest racist, bigoted, hateful hypocrites you could imagine. Some would love to see a Gilead-type world here in Idaho. There are some sick bastards that walk among us.
