So, New York got a full-blown socialist for a governor, and now a transgender communist in Idaho wants to try the same thing here.
Maxine Durand openly identifies as a socialist. He claims both Democrats and Republicans are failing, but what he’s really saying is that Idaho needs to be remade in the image of California and Washington.
The Idaho Second Amendment Alliance has warned for years that leftists have their sights set on our state. Their goal is simple: drag Idaho down the same path as every other progressive stronghold.
And now, one of the Democratic Socialists of America’s candidates wants to lead Idaho?
Durand’s own website doesn’t even bother to spell out a clear position on the Second Amendment. The only mention is a vague blurb about “universal hunter’s education, gun safety, and permitting.”
Here’s what it says:
An expansion to current gun safety and hunter’s education courses to include first aid and CPR certification, mental health first aid training, de-escalation, and emergency management training, so that Idaho gun owners are trained on not only how to utilize their rights under the Second Amendment, but also understand the responsibility of gun ownership and have the additional training and resources to help others in times of emergency. Funding would be allocated to make this program free of charge to any Idaho resident who wants to utilize it.
We kid you not, this is presented as a serious Second Amendment policy.
What is it with everything being “universal,” “free,” and “paid for by taxpayers”? That’s the socialist playbook: promise handouts, demand more government control, and erode individual freedom.
The problem with socialism and communism is that both eventually require total government control. And to get that control, the government must be the only one with guns. That’s why socialists and communists always push to ban private firearm ownership.
The truth is simple: every “free” program they dangle in front of voters comes at the barrel of a gun. The Second Amendment stands in their way, and that’s why they want it gone.
Idaho has always been a state where freedom comes first. If we allow socialist candidates to gain power here, we risk losing the very rights that make Idaho different. The fight for the Second Amendment isn’t just about guns; it’s about whether the people or the government holds the power. And as long as the Idaho Second Amendment Alliance has a voice, we’ll make sure that power stays where it belongs: with the people.
I really don’t think this is going to fly in fly-over country.
People may come here & think our Democrats are sane. No, they’re not. And we have lots of leftist groups pouring in money & they have made inroads. Unfortunately.
And Middle Eastern money is flowing in and we do nothing. They know the more they create chaos in America the easy or it will be to conquer us. They’re doing it now. They are creating chaos. That’s how authoritative regime take over and it’s happening before our eyes and idiots on both sides, blame the Jews
He/she/it stands a good chance then.
Ok, so why is it so difficult and costly for normal people to run during elections and instead we keep having these crazies/puppet/Mengele types normalized so easily
There is more to thiis story of Mamdanis and transgenders disgusting dictatorship epidemic
Yep. Kirk assassination was there and onky there to appoint the woke right antisemites, just like after MLk assassination for the left
The telltale sign was the obvious projection of the antisemites who assassinated Kirk to blame the jews and Mossad for it etc
They are taking over states with small populations
Easy pickings.
It’s only a matter of time,,,sigh.
Red state-deep. Why bother to post?
I have friends in Idaho...fighting the demcommies....
No need to as of now.
There’s something you need to know. 2 senators and your governor are long on tooth. They’re all in their 70’s. Get rid of all three before our enemies convert the young folk and Pied Piper the newcomers from Calif. We need to be proactive as those senate seats are good(or bad) for 6 years.
In the 90s the late author Jim Rohn said he had been informed a lot of Californians were fed up with the degeneration and over regulation of California and were moving to his state Idaho.
“No, just keep out of our state. We don’t need your lousy ideas brought to Idaho.”
Much too late now.
Could reefer madness explain the rising sea of leftist insanity? Undocumented pharmacists tinkering with the reward circuitry of mushy brains have summoned the demon rats of hell.
Someone thinks Mamdani is Governor-elect of NY?
Makes a more convincing woman than Tina Kotek.
It’s Idaho.
This isn’t going anywhere.
