In 2023, 65% of voters who moved to Idaho from out of state were registered Republicans. One agent estimates that over 90% of his clients in recent years have been conservatives moving from California.

    I’m sure he’s going to do a great job selling the homes of the people he hates so much. He’ll get them top dollar for sure.

      A right wing realtor in a red state is offering free home-selling services to liberals as a hateful “get out of my state” gesture, knowing that nobody is actually going to take advantage of this offer (because you want your realtor not to actively hate you).

        I don’t see it as hateful. The country was set up so that people have freedom of movement and can live amongst like minded people in other states.

        If anything, the best thing people can do for each other is set up nonprofits that help people with moving costs when they are unhappy with the majority political mindset in their area.

      Idaho is where all the white supremacists and legacy Ku Klux Klan members escaped to due to low cost of living and very few people with melanin in their skin living there.

      This article is saying that a private business ran by a right wing extremist is offering progressive thinkers and leftists a free service

        Ok so many people (relatively) in Idaho are not just “red” but outright fascist/nazis/extremist?

          That is correct, yes.

          Idaho is not a state you want to live in unless you are white, hard right conservative, Christian, cis-, and straight. You probably don’t want to have too much education either.

    The firm, Idaho Wild, got a range of responses — “everything from people in full support and throwing in additional offers … all the way to people lecturing me about being, whatever, hateful and un-Christian,” Mark Fitzpatrick, the company’s owner, told The Idaho Statesman by phone.

    I thought he was doing this mainly for free advertising and grifting but he’s actually a moron who believes this shit.

    Well now, if we can’t just abolish the electrical college can we at least quarantine as many Republicans in Idaho as possible? Steal some Texans, or Floridians, exchange them for those liberal Idaho patriots yearning for bluer pastures.

    Oh no, they’re leaving Idaho and not paying listing fees? You sure showed them!

    I wonder if any Idaho republicans are smart enough to understand that means they’re paying for something liberals are getting for free?
