It is what we call a fly-over state. No one cares about it except that is where a lot of our potatoes come from. I'm willing to bet that is the only thing about Idaho that most Americans even know.
That said, fuck Qatar and whatever MAGA grift this bullshit is.
I'm remembering a George Carlin bit: "On the New Hampshire license plate, it says "Give me liberty, or give me death." On the Idaho license plate, it says "Famous potatoes." Reality is somewhere between those extremes, probably closer to "famous Potatoes.""
I met someone from Idaho, and they had no idea that they were known for potatoes at all. They were quite perplexed, and upset that the only thing that the other 49 states knew about Idaho was potatoes.
Now it's known for potatoes, and nazis. Considerably worse.
other than pronouncing it as I-THE-HO.
Although it's an absolutely gorgeous state though. Top 5 if not top 3. (I've been to all lower 48)
