What is it about Idaho in particular that appeals so much to neo-Nazis and other far-right extremists that they all keep moving out there?

    IDK but unfun fact: Anytime anyone wants to talk shit about Chicago, you can point to Boise as one of the dozens of American cities with a higher violent crime rate.

      The right will just blame the Democratic mayor, and completely ignore the role of their state’s GOP governor and legislature.

      I actually hate Chicago suburbs because of the regressive property tax in Illinois. All schools are funded by local property taxes. That means that people in lower wage areas have to pay a much higher percentage of their income in taxes overall. It also means that rich suburbs get well funded schools while avoiding their own fair share. Illinois also has a regressive flat income tax, also benefiting rich people.
