It’s kinda funny, I imagine Idaho doesn’t want them; not least of all because it’s going to take them from looking like a melted rotated Oklahoma to looking like a middle finger emoji.
why wouldn’t they just become their own state? did they forget that that’s allowed?
Establishing a new state is very hard. Attempts to do so have been unsuccessful many times before:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_state_partition_proposals_in_the_United_StatesIt doesn’t help that this is not a large and popular movement. I have attended schools with more students than the resident populations of some of these counties. This is purely political theater by a relatively small group of people.
Honestly, I get it. I totally disagree with their opinions, but living in a state where you know the votes of you and your community are effectively meaningless due to a distant, overwhelming majority sucks.
That being said…this isn’t how states should work. Independent administration for urban and rural areas would amplify the existing division in our country, which has already become a glaring problem in recent years.
They’re free to fuck off to another state like Idaho
Welcome to blue people living in Texas
Yeah, that’s how I know ;)
The shit-bill war.
Disclaimer: I’m a Canadian browsing new familiar with the story from a previous post. I claim no right to commentary except word play. But we have our own similar messes. That said, that line extends north past WA as far as political leanings go. IMHO.
I live in OR, these people are stupid, they imagine the grass is greener on the other side, but small farmers and ranches are being strangled to death by GOP ideals in ID, they just don’t want to blame themselves.
They literally should just try Idaho for a year and see that what they actually do not want, is to be like Idaho.
