Too late. The californicators have taken over and Somalis are everywhere affordable. I have watched dumoy old houses go up 5 fold during the pndemic up north from californicators working remotely, There is not much of an industrial base in Idaho for automation work. Maybe the sugar beet processing plants but those are on the plains.
Never to late. I have been a proponent to the Greater Idaho movement, I just wish they included Eastern Washington not just Oregon. Idaho can become a powerhouse in the electoral college. From the Cascades East would take away electoral votes from the I-5 corridor. Half of both Washington and Oregons electoral vote would be red shifted to Idaho.
Why do you think people are moving from California to red states and implimenting their beliefs? It is textbook “Rules for radicals”.
Throw a frog into boiling water and it will jump out. Put a frog into warm water and slowly bring it to a boil, and it will stay and cook. Look at Alaska and Texas for an example. They were both solid red states, now they are purple.
This migration is a slow genociced of our freedoms. It reminds me of the Bhagwam Rajneesh, and Sheela in Antelope Oregon (I lived through that). Washington is a dead lost cause, but If I can give one more conservative vote in the last free state, its better than an cancelled vote where I am at.
