What possible justification does Salem have for keeping their non-coastal counties as captive colonies when they clearly want to leave?
And that’s notwithstanding Texas is actually constitutionally allowed per its annexation agreement to split itself into 5 separate smaller states, if it so wishes! The reason it hasn’t though is because at least 3 of the 5 would be solidly Blue by the approved divisions made at the time. One a tossup. One solidly red.
So, similar too the Greater Idaho plan. Or the Jefferson/California plan. Or Calexit. Or…
Admittedly, I am a Cascadian partisan (flying Old Doug and being vocal), not a part of Greater Idaho, but the parent's viewpoint is valid.
They're already f-ed by every Oregonian referendum that touches their benighted soil.
If Greater Idaho showed any sympathy, it would purchase their property as public domain (to be auctioned off) and it would help with moving expenses. Not that I expect that.
