I think you have a misunderstanding of why Ruby Ridge and Waco are associated with each other.
It’s not because of the religious wackos, though accurate, it’s because they were 2 instances of the federal government murdering a bunch of children and close in time to eachother.
You should read up more on Ruby Ridge, I don’t think it makes the point you think it does.
It’s isolated forest and mountains. There’s along history of self-described neo-nazis making compounds and trying to succeed from WA/OR/ID to be a white ethno-state.
Spokane is a purple dot in the wilderness but most of it’s police/representatives live in the county and vote deep red.
What does that mean? I associate Idaho with bad potatoes, but I think I lack the rest of the context.
idaho is the fore-front of white supremecist movements in america.
Idaho is deep in right wing militia wack job territory. Remember Ruby Ridge? Idaho.
Not right wing militias…straight up Nazis and Klan members.
"Right-wing militia whack job"s who for the most part are Christian Fascists as well. For example, https://antiauthoritarianplaybook.substack.com/p/the-christ-church-movement-in-moscow
No idea about Ruby Ridge (will Google this later) also, no idea about anything else about Idaho other than bad potatoes.
Ruby Ridge was similar to Waco. Idaho is white supremacist territory
