What's the difference? life goes on either way!
Rural Oregon counties vote to discuss seceding from state to join ‘Greater Idaho’
A group called Move Oregon’s Border is leading an initiative to have Oregon’s rural counties secede from the rest of the state and join Idaho.video.foxnews.com
The problem with that idea....is that they lack the authority to do it.
You need the consent of other States to become a State. You don't just 'declare it' an start electing your Senators.
They want to become part of Idaho, not a new state
At the very least, they'd need the consent of both States. And most likely, the consent of the several states.
I don't see any of that happening.
Worked for the colonies.
Not so much for South Carolina though.
South Carolina is still under British rule?
Its still part of the US, despite writing its own articles of secession.
That dispute was settled already.
4 years later.
I doubt that the oregon counties would have much better luck without the consent of the States.
Let’s wait and see...
It seems unlikely that Oregon is going to secede its own territory to Idaho. Or that Idaho would even want them.
This will almost certainly amount to nothing.
You do know eastern oregon is sick of that trash in Portland rightno No

There is probably much more in common with the people in a potential merger of more rural areas then with the city areas.
Its not common at all. Show me any State in the last century that has given up territory to another state....because the citizens in that region told them to.
And don't hold your breath while you try, as you're gonna pass the heck out.
Its just another variant on the silly secession fantasy that many conservatives are fancying.......as the slowly grow more hostile to democracy and democratic institutions.
No they are getting sick and tired of the left , they want no part of them.
And....it doesn't matter if they are 'sick and tired of them'. These secession fantasies still don't amount to much.
It's the outrage that counts, like a good lefty you can't handle the fact people hate the left
They don't want to
Defund cops
Abolish prisons
Make all drugs legal
They are sick of anarchy

Not really. Oregon is still super blue. And those Oregon counties are still part of Oregon.
Alas, feelings don't amount to much in the face of votes.
Why don't you want those counties to leave and join idaho, what's the reason other than it will hurt your feelings
Why would I want those counties to leave and join Idaho?
If they don't like Oregon....they can move.
That's what they want, move the counties to idaho, they can't stand portland and liberalism
And the majority of people of Oregon don't want it. Why would I ignore what the majority of people of Oregon want?
So mob rule, do what they tell us to do , how to act and behave?
Majority rule.
If you don't like Oregon....move somewhere else. If you want to change Oregon......convince the majority of people to do what you want.
Imagine if vote value was based on property ownership as originally proposed.
You obviously believe in mob rule.
No mob rule always described democracy,
And by 'mob rule', you mean actually counting the votes of the people?
'Mob rule' is just the new conservative buzzword you've been fed as the GOP grows increasingly hostile to our democratic institutions and democracy as a concept.
Its part of their slide into authoritarianism. I wouldn't recomment it.
No mob rule always described democracy, hence that's why we are not a democracy
Mob rule is what conservatives call the will of the people as they grow increasingly hostile to democracy and democratic institutions.
And of course, can you factually establish that EVERYONE in those counties, every single person, wants to become part of Idaho?
What would happen to them in your scenario. And feel free to use the word 'mob rule' if you'd like when describing what you want the majority of the people in those counties to do to the minority who wanted to remain in Oregon.
