Antifa Groups Grow in Idaho as Local Politicians Turn Blind Eye to Left-Wing Radicals
Yes, Antifa is here in Idaho.
While Idaho has long been known for it’s rural charm and vast mountainous beauty, an ugly underbelly of radical progressivism begins it’s slow crawl through the heart of Boise to the hills in Coeur d’Alene, aiming to forever transform the traditionally Republican state into a Californian dystopia.
For close to a month, a so-called “tent protest” in Boise has had dozens of college students, drug addicts and other progressive liberals camping out in the state’s capitol, demanding “solidarity” for the unhoused, while promoting hammer & sickle imagery, as well as the raised black fist of communism.
These groups, who generally remain quiet due to their traditionally christian and conservative surroundings, have begun showing their faces in public, donning the same language and malice as seen by Antifa groups throughout Portland and California.
One Antifa member who goes by the name “Redoubt Antifascists” on Twitter, is a prominent fixture in the Boise area and can be seen participating in protests throughout the state, as well as conducting online harassment campaigns against conservatives throughout the greater Idaho area.
This Antifa member once went by the Twitter handle “ProtestPancakes,”, as he would park his solar powered stove top outside of protests throughout the Portland area, before eventually moving to Boise, where he continues to recruit extremists.
We will not post his full name here in this article, for various reasons, but as you can see the Portland to Boise connection among Antifa members cannot be understated.
Another hard-left group in the Boise area calls themselves “Critical Mass” — conducting recruiting events throughout the area. The group uses satanic imagery, as well as the communist raised fist symbol in imagery and fliers.
Another group which calls themselves “Peaceful Roots of Change” has attempted to ignite Black Lives Matter protests throughout the area, only to be disavowed by the black community on multiple occasions.
Another Antifa group calling themselves “AntifaWhisperer” on Twitter, is openly organizing through the innocuous branding of “Boise Mutual Aid” in response to patriotic groups in the area, calling on their followers to protect their identities by wearing masks during confrontations.
Boise Mutual Aid purposefully brandishes unassuming imagery so as to maintain mass-appeal in a community typically known for standing against left-wing extremism. Nonetheless, the group asks attendees of protests to conceal their identities with masks to avoid identification, prosecution, or doxxing for participating in left-wing events generally known for ending violently.
We at the Idaho Tribune have names, as well as other personally identifying information on dozens of organizers and participants of these events. If these events are to turn violent, the information will be forwarded to police.
We will continue to follow these groups as they conduct their activities throughout Idaho and work with law enforcement when necessary.
