Efforts for red Oregon to join Idaho picks up steam

 They have had enough of corrupt DemocRat governing - A renewed push for several conservative-leaning Oregon counties to join Idaho is gaining traction, with Republican lawmakers filing a bill to study the feasibility of shifting the state border. The “Greater Idaho” movement has been working toward this goal for years, arguing that rural Oregon voters are politically and culturally disconnected from the liberal policies of Portland and Salem. - The Greater Idaho proposal is part of a broader national trend of rural communities seeking separation from liberal urban centers. Staten Island, New York, has renewed its long-standing effort to secede from New York City, with Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) arguing that the borough’s conservative voters have been marginalized by the state’s Democratic leadership. - https://mxmnews.com/article/724da4fc-2094-4f1e-b9ae-bd101041415a

It can't possibly happen, as that region has about 4% of the state's voters and it would take an amendment to both states' constitutions. We'd be happy to dump those MAGA morons, as keeping them propped up costs millions in taxpayer money. But we'll keep subsidizing those MAGAs no matter what.

 Running your mouth does not change what is happening.

Won't happen. 4% of a state's citizens don't get to determine what path the state takes.
