Patriots, here's a wake-up call that should terrify every conservative in America: Even in blood-red Idaho, where Republicans dominate every level of government, progressive bureaucrats are still pulling the strings behind the scenes.
The latest example? When Governor Brad Little finally showed some backbone and withdrew the reappointment of 72-year-old Estella Zamora from the Idaho Human Rights Commission, leftist activists went absolutely ballistic. Why? Because they know their real power doesn't come from winning elections - it comes from embedding their operatives deep within the administrative state.
Think about this for a moment, folks. Idaho votes conservative like clockwork. Republicans hold the governor's mansion, both legislative chambers, and every single statewide office. Yet somehow, progressives who couldn't win a dogcatcher race still have their grubby hands on the levers of power.
The Deep State Playbook in Action
This is the same playbook the swamp creatures used against President Trump during his first term, and it's exactly why he's now taking a wrecking ball to the federal bureaucracy in his second term. These unelected bureaucrats think they know better than We the People.
While Idaho conservatives celebrate their electoral victories, the real governance happens in commission meetings, regulatory hearings, and administrative offices where leftist holdovers continue advancing their agenda. They're like ticks - once they burrow in, they're almost impossible to remove.
Governor Little's decision to boot Zamora is a start, but it's just one small victory in a much larger war. The administrative state has metastasized into every level of government, from your local school board to federal agencies.
Time for Conservative Governors to Follow Trump's Lead
President Trump is showing Republican governors nationwide how it's done with his DOGE initiative and systematic dismantling of the federal deep state. Every conservative governor should be taking notes and cleaning house in their own backyard.
The question isn't whether Idaho votes red - it's whether Idaho's government actually serves the people who elected it. And right now, that answer is deeply troubling.
How many more Estella Zamoras are lurking in your state's bureaucracy, Patriots?
