The most maddening part about the problem of legislators ignoring their constituents is that Idahoans keep voting for these guys time-after-time. For one thing, they ignore the primaries, when they could vote the radicals out. They blindly vote along party lines, ignoring red flags about what their candidates truly stand for. Now, they’re about to lose the last ounce of power they have as voters - the ballot initiative process.
Moderate Republicans and Democrats have been ringing the warning bell about these problems for years - to no avail.
It’s really hard to muster up any sympathy for people who are either willingly ignorant, or too lazy to fight for their voices, their rights, their votes, or their issues. If you’re not part of the solution - you’re part of the problem.
Then it’s time to vote ‘em out. But we need the moderate repubs to show up for the primaries. I have literally heard them complain about the crap going down in Boise. When I tell them to show up for the primary, they ask, “What’s a primary?” WTF!

Because they never listen to us.
