Idaho Conservatives Are Fighting Each Other. Here's Why.
The Conservative Civil War Nobody Wants to Talk About
Is Idaho's conservative movement becoming its own worst enemy?
In this episode of Crossroads Idaho, Dylan Stocker sits down with Greg Pruett, President of the Idaho Second Amendment Alliance, to discuss the growing divide among Idaho conservatives.
The conversation begins with the recent Twin Falls tragedy and the importance of Idaho's Second Amendment protections, but quickly expands into a much larger discussion about the future of Idaho politics.
Topics include:
• The growing divide inside Idaho's conservative movement
• Representative Heather Scott's public criticism of the Idaho Second Amendment Alliance
• Constitutional Carry and the role the Idaho Second Amendment Alliance played in passing it
• Senate Bill 1298 (The Shield Act) and why Greg Pruett believes Idahoans who lawfully defend themselves deserve stronger legal protections
• The influence of social media on conservative politics
• Grassroots organizations versus political power
• Whether Idaho conservatives are losing sight of the principles that originally united them
Regardless of where you stand politically, this conversation asks an important question:
Can Idaho conservatives unite around shared principles, or will internal division ultimately weaken the movement?
