Liberal claims of voter apathy are wearisome

The My Turn submitted to the Bee by Diana Dawson, founder of North Idaho Voter Services is a self-serving exercise complaining about conservative voters. When Diana characterizes conservative voters as a "super minority" who come to power through apathy and low voter turnout, misinformation and disinformation, she's talking about you, she's denigrating you, the conservative in Idaho.

It never ceases to amaze me that liberals always characterize their opposite number, conservatives, as people who can only be elected through "the fatigue and apathy of the majority." Again, Diana Dawson has no problem denigrating you, the voter. Hypocrisy in action. Diana glosses over the fact that indeed, when someone is elected in Idaho, it is through the majority vote. North Idaho conservatives want the people they vote for. 

Who the Bonner County Republican Central Committee censures is none of her business, and Mark Sauter was censured by the committee for failing his constituents and voting with the left-wing liberals in Boise. This is not an attack on voting rights as Diana Dawson maintains, it is holding accountable politicians who claim to be Republicans to get elected, then show their woke left underbellies once they get to Boise.

Diana Dawson's self-serving tirade is just another liberal letter bemoaning the fact that conservatives are duly elected in Idaho, by majority vote. It's obvious she despises conservatives, which is her right, but she shouldn't mischaracterize the facts to promote her agenda. Diana Dawson's explanation for how Idaho votes is dishonest in the extreme.
