Patriots, here's a wake-up call that should send chills down every conservative's spine: 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 withdrew the reappointment of 72-year-old Estella Zamora from the Idaho Human Rights Commission last week, leftist activists lost their minds. Why? Because one of their embedded operatives just got the boot from a position she never should have held in the first place.
But here's the real question every American needs to ask: If conservatives can't clean house in IDAHO - a state that votes Republican by massive margins - what hope do we have anywhere else?
The Administrative State Runs on Autopilot
This isn't just about one liberal bureaucrat losing her cushy government gig. This is about a systemic problem plaguing red states across America. While We the People vote for conservative leadership, the permanent administrative class - filled with Obama-era holdovers and progressive true believers - continues implementing the Left's agenda through regulations, enforcement actions, and bureaucratic stonewalling.
These unelected officials don't care who wins elections. They know that governors and legislators come and go, but they remain embedded in the system, slowly but surely transforming our communities from within.
"Progressives who never win at the ballot box keep their hands on levers of power," perfectly captures the frustration of Idaho conservatives who thought their votes actually mattered.
President Trump is cleaning house at the federal level with his DOGE initiative and mass firing of woke bureaucrats, but the battle for America's soul is happening in every state capital, every county courthouse, and every local agency.
Time for Red State Governors to Act
Governor Little's decision to remove Zamora is a start, but it's barely scratching the surface. Every Republican governor needs to conduct a top-to-bottom audit of their administrative state and root out the leftist operatives who are sabotaging conservative governance.
The progressive meltdown over losing one bureaucratic position proves how valuable these embedded positions are to their movement. If they're fighting this hard to keep their people in place, shouldn't that tell us everything we need to know?
It's time for red state America to wake up: Winning elections is just the beginning. The real fight is taking back control of the administrative state that actually runs our government.
