Thanks for your excellent explains and the picture.
AlpheccaStars"We will get to Idaho, or else."But this sentence wasn't clear for me. "or else" means we will go to Idaho! No other places is desired, or it means we will go to Idaho or somewhere else, it doesn't matter.

Not exactly.
In more dramatic and exaggerated terms:
We will get to Idaho or die doing it.
