Hundreds of Idahoans voiced their incendiary views towards mandatory mask mandates and the hospitalization of American society in a āBurn the Maskā rally on Saturday at the State Capitol, with children and adults alike participating in the burning of face masks in an empty oil drum.
Idahoans touted their stateās tradition of rural freedom and self-determination, tiring of the nanny authoritarian culture that has rapidly grown in coastal elitists states. Many of the demonstrators identified themselves as political refugees to Idaho, having left California, Oregon and other states with a āno toleranceā policy towards traditional American liberties.
