Tuesday’s midterm elections were a bit of a bloodbath for the Republican Party.
If you’re a conservative, chances are you are looking for any silver lining to cope with the fact that Democrats took the GOP behind the woodshed last night.
I’m here to tell you it wasn’t all bad, though, as states like Tennessee and Florida are still looking pretty red, so there’s no need to get too down in the dumps.
AMERICA SAW THE BLUE WAVE COMING — BUT DRASTICALLY UNDERESTIMATED THE EXTENT OF THE DEM TSUNAMI
One state that certainly has voters with their priorities straight is Idaho, and I’m not just saying that because their state GOP incumbents completed a clean sweep at the polls.
It seems the voters all throughout The Gem State were focused on the real issues that have been at the top of everyone’s mind.
Not healthcare or grocery prices, but rather which firearm would become the official state gun of Idaho.
No, I’m not kidding.
Six different firearms were presented on the ballot, presenting quite a grab bag of options, from a Colt .45 to an M1 Garand.
And the winner is…
And what a winner we have!
The Winchester Model 1873, aka “The Gun that Won the West,” is now the official state gun of Idaho.
Man, what a crushing blow for the “Peacemaker,” I was sure he was going to pull away late.
In all seriousness, that’s a pretty cool thing to say.
Some states have an official marine mammal or dessert, but Idaho has a state gun.
CONSERVATIVES STUNNED BY ‘CATASTROPHIC’ MIDTERM BLUE TSUNAMI, BLAME TRUMP’S IRAN WAR, HIGH GAS PRICES
It’s actually not uncommon, either, as 11 U.S. states now have an official firearm.
Most of the states on the list are pretty predictable, including Texas and West Virginia. I was surprised to see Pennsylvania included, though, while my beloved Sunshine State is nowhere to be found.
Regardless, whenever your conservative buddies get a little down in the dumps this week, just remind them that Idaho now has a state gun.
That’ll go a long way in “owning the libs!”
