It’s 2026 and the Idaho Supreme Court has granted immunity and pardon power to the governor of Idaho. The governor has lost the popular vote, but he rallies his supporters to the state Capitol steps in Boise. His supporters attack police on the Capitol steps and invade the Capitol building by breaking windows and beating police with weapons.
The state legislators hide in the basement, afraid for their lives. Idaho courts convict the insurrectionists. The governor is re-elected and he pardons all of his supporters, including those convicted of violence and treason. The media celebrates with the headline, “Governor’s Train” roars through Idaho.
