What I'm wondering about is, are they "Conservative" as in they believe government is bad and taxes are bad and they are shocked, shocked I say to discover that there's racism happening in this establishment, or are they full on fascist "Conservative" and racist as fuck themselves and they just didn't realize they were one of the minorities they were supposed to hate?
Based only on some recent posts and comments I've seen about hispanic conservatives in general, I would guess it was because they are religious and feel they need to align with Republicans because of that. Now they have learned that Republican-style Christianity doesn't really resemble Jesus-style Christianity.
But also - isn't Idaho literally the whitest state? Or is that Iowa?
Maybe not by population, but Idaho has a huge problem with white supremacists. The Aryan Nation was founded there, and there's a reason all the bigots in eastern Oregon want to secede and join Idaho.
I feel dumb as dirt that it took you telling us that, since I was recently wondering why.
