Viral Video Addresses Idahoans' Hostility Towards Newcomers

So, if you’ve been on TikTok recently, you may have seen a viral video about potato guns and Idahoans being very protective of their state. And, I mean, they’re not wrong.

Idaho has become overcrowded (especially here in Boise) with newcomers to the state. This has increased housing prices, making it difficult and even impossible for generational Idahoans to purchase a home in this state.

Those with higher incomes and traditionally more expensive housing have flooded Idaho’s comparatively low-priced housing market. Especially over the past five years. Because of this, the prices of houses have shot up exponentially. Making it difficult to purchase a home here if you’re local and not from a wealthier state.

This has angered a lot of Idahoans, making them bitter against newcomers. And, this viral TikTok shows exactly that.

And Idahoans can’t get enough of it.

But first, let’s take a look at another viral TikTok that’s been going around. And yes, you’re gonna laugh so hard.

Boise TikTok Viewed Over 1Million Times

You're downtown Boise with your friends on a weekend night--what do you have planed? You'll spend some time on 6th & Main, get some "prizes" from Rocci Johnson, and probably end up making a visit to downtown Boise's home of the iconic LED "pole" that is always the center of attention at Club Karma. Located on 8th & Idaho, Karma is known for its good vibes, fish bowls, energetic dance floor, and...the LED "pole". It didn't take long for this pole to make the rounds on the internet and now we can see why--with over 1 million views, one user really gained this famous pole some fame.

Gotta love the bars in downtown Boise on a Saturday night, lol.

Also, on a side note - remember this guy? He went viral for his cranberry TikTok video. And yeah, he’s from Idaho Falls, Idaho! This is what he’s up to now.

Update: Where is Idaho’s Viral Cranberry Juice Guy Now?
