After 11 Oregon counties approved a preliminary vote to secede from the Democrat-led state, local leaders around the movement are explaining how the urban-rural divide has left them with no other choice. People in eastern Oregon have felt like their state-level governance has not heard them, has not paid attention to our concerns, and has not been working for eastern Oregon," Greater Idaho Movement spokesperson Matt McCaw said on "Fox & Friends First" Monday.
McCaw, along with Oregon business owner Sandie Gilson, supports the idea of having select counties elect to move their state borderlines so state-level governance would come from Idaho.

Between what Idaho is going to gain from Washington and Oregon, all of a sudden, idaho is a pretty big state :).

The Republic of Texas approaches.
Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, S Dakota, N Dakota, Montana, Alberta (Canada), Saskatchewan (Canada), Manitoba (Canada), and a few states along the sides. Let's go EAST. Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida.
We have every shipping port in The Gulf of Mexico and half the Atlantic and more oil than the Saudis ever dreamed of.
California and New York can print their own money. If they want to trade they can use Panama. We WILL protect our borders ,north, south, east, and west.
If you're coming to visit Texas bring your US passport with the pre-approved visitor's visa.
Eastern WA probably fits in too.

Actually, I love the "Republic of Texas" idea, including the formerly free Canadian provinces listed (now captives of "Central Trudeaustan").

Convince the Democrats that breaking up Oregon would be bad for America's standing in the world, increase inflation, advance slime sexuality and soft-on-crime legislation, do that and the dissident counties will be allowed join Idaho in a heartbeat.

Hey, 11 Oregon counties, make your own state! Idaho has enough of its own problems.

My cousin lives in Boise and none of these pot selling enterprises exist in Idaho and he said it never will. The pockets of socialism that exist in Idaho are smaller than the conservative pockets that exist in many Blue states.

How do we assure these people won't ruin the red states? Virginia used to be red as an apple, now they are blue and woke and liberal. Ever read about Bunker Hill? That battle was to protect the colonists' weaponry.
Now look at all the people of Massachusets. They make the people of Cuba look down right reactionary!.

I am in Maryland and feel the same way.
Maryland democrats run our State and they have no compunction to screw over anyone who doesn't agree with them.

This is the sort of sentiment that arises when the Left organizes vote cheating, in all its many forms. When you know your vote cannot change the corruption of your government, no matter how many there are who agree with you, you look for alternatives.

Cure for liberalism - kick socialist cities out of the US

Salem hasn't listened to the concerns of Eastern Oregon for at least 40 years. The reason why we are democrat led in a mostly red state is because of the vote by mail scam installed back in 1986. It will serve democrats right if the state cleaves into smaller parts which join with other states.

I’d love to see southeastern WA counties join Idaho, too — if Idaho will have us.
