Ammon Bundy has filed to run for governor of Idaho next year
Well, it’s hard to fundraise off running for dog catcher.

And Democracy really depends on voters rejecting unqualified crazies. But the current GQP would enjoy having a governor forced to serve from his camper van at a local national park.
This is the outcome of thinking like Reagan’s “I’m from the government & I’m here to help” shibboleth . If you don’t think government can work, why put competent people into it?

I watched this doofus testify during his Malheur trial. He’s completely crazy. Recently he provoked the ire of people in his local community because he refused to wear a mask during a high school football game with the result that they stopped the game and sent everybody home. It will be interesting to see how many people vote for him because the vote will give us a really accurate readout of just how many lunatics live in Idaho.

So this thing where Ammon is not currently registered to vote thing needs to be looked at. Things like how long has he lived in ID, has he been registered to vote before in another state, and most definitely needs to be pointed out that Ammon didn’t vote for Trump-twice.
Oh and hit him with the bread and butter issues that are important to the voters in ID for their state gov’t. Don’t let him get off of state issues.

And some people like it when trouble slaps them around, and then begs for more.

State park, keep that shit out the National Parks. You remember what he did the last couple of times he was on federal land.

Though he’s currently saying he plans to run for the republican slot, we can hope he goes third party.

Idaho’s the state that 5 Oregon counties just voted to join.
I wonder how many votes he’s got coming to him from there.

I assume, if elected, he would occupy something based on his gubernatorial powers. He & his executive staff will spend their time target shooting beer bottles they emptied, complaining about the overflowed toilet, and snacking on all those bags of dicks. If there are some sacred Native American remains to desecrate, that’s just icing.

Some states (GA, for instance) have far less restrictive requirements to run for office than they do to register to vote.

I had hoped that Ammon would get a visit from Mr Covid…
Considering Bundy made a joke of mask.
But then it’s Idaho and he may get elected.
