With the presidential elections in the United States, American society is increasingly divided to the point that some citizens only want to live with people who think like them. In Idaho, 150 families seeking a Republican environment have settled. They all share the same conservative values.
In the ultra-conservative state of Idaho, Mark Fitzpatrick is a real estate agent. He helped Republicans across the country secede. Over the past three years, he has helped 150 conservative families flee their Democratic states. His clients can no longer stand living with other Americans whom they consider far too left-wing. Phil is one of them, he explains: “I didn’t leave California, California left me. The State itself, its management, its policy, its spending, taxes, everything is going down the drain. We couldn’t take it anymore.”
On site, some try to attract them like YouTuber Trent Grandstaff. In an original way, he promotes Idaho and its conservative values. Not everyone is welcome here. The end of living together is being emulated throughout the country. Over the past three years, Idaho has become one of the places in the United States that is attracting the most new residents.
