Idaho city's new mayor says Christian conservatives are "mindless, cult-member, group-thinking morons"

Well, here's another tolerant lefty in elected office.

This ranting and raving lib is now the mayor of Couer d'Alene.

[Warning: Language]

New mayor of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, Dan Gookin: “"Christian conservatives are mindless, cult-member morons. They are white, racist supremacists. They can **** themselves and go to hell.” pic.twitter.com/eyvFgsE8uU— I Meme Therefore I Am 🇺🇸 (@ImMeme0) November 5, 2025

Here's the local CDA Press:

Longtime Coeur d'Alene City Councilman Dan Gookin ran for mayor on a campaign of providing stronger leadership at City Hall. He'll have the next four years to deliver on that pledge ...

Gookin found a following in his role as a man of the people, opposing tax hikes, vowing to protect neighborhoods and supporting small businesses.

A Christian-hating, anti-conservative, foul-mouthed hater is going to be a "man of the people"?

Poor Idaho. Next thing you know, the crazy libs will ban potatoes due to climate change.

The farmers will probably bend over and take it.

This is horrible. We live ten miles north of CdA.

Enjoyed a wonderful, week-long vacation in Sand Point in 2010. Even seriously viewed a home that was for sale there at the time. Hard to believe that the people there would vote for something like this! Is he an "import?"

Regards,

Somebody yesterday said he is from San Diego, but he’s been in CdA a long time. Not sure where he is from.

My mom was born in Sandpoint in 1927! They lived there for six months until moving south to Potlatch, ID. It was a sleepy lumber town back then. I was there two days ago shopping for a replacement fireplace. Still a very nice town. There’s snow on the surrounding mountains!

The name Dan Gookin sounds familiar from my time in San Diego. If it is the same person, he wrote technical articles for a local computer publication ByteBuyer and ComputerEdge. That is my only recollection. I would be surprised to find out that it is the same person. It's not a real common name.

I have confirmed before posting that it is the same Dan Gookin I know from the ComputerEdge days in San Diego. He also authored some XXX for Dummies books.

Dan Gookin

If one has no talent skills ideas understanding of how things work being a tolerant lefty is the only tool you have to work with.

"...and go to hell.”

Only Christians can do this?

Coeur d’Alene is a very conservative “red” area. To have this Dan Gookin unleashed tells me the Dems are working to turn this area blue.

If you're correct (that CDA is solidly Red), then the citizens of CDA will rally and recall this guy. If they do not, then, you're wrong. We shall see.
