This is an interesting story... because it is one model of conservative america splitting from the liberal enclaves in purportedly blue states...

When will Umatilla and Wallowa get on board?

[ducttape45]

Do it! As long as Idaho gets rid of its RINO governor things can only get better for them.

This is just another reason why liberal dominated metropolises like Portland, Chicago, St. Louis, Houston, Dallas and other such cities ought to be walled in and left to their own devices with no voting rights. If that was to happen, the country could get back on the right track.

If this happens, there will be a domino effect.

Instead of joining Idaho, Greater Idaho should explore statehood using the same argument used by the Left for DC and PR statehood.

(I don’t know what that argument is, but whatever it is, the Left’s own argument should be used against them.)

I think they will need approval of their existing State Legislature and then approval of the US Congress. That makes secession rather difficult, doesn’t it?

[Rappini]

I just pray that they don’t screw up Idaho now.

Doing it legally is problematic, to be sure. But I have a dream of an invincible Potato Army sweeping across the Palouse, conquering all in its path. I’m working on it now. Not making much progress on close order drill, but we have the intel part down pat. Eyes...everywhere...

I wonder how contiguity factors in with some of the non-neighboring counties ?

We have states with non contiguous land areas. Northern Michigan. The eastern Chesapeake portion of Virginia that looks like it should be Maryland. A city in Northern Morocco belongs to Spain .

[lurk]

It highlights the chasm between the city and the farm/woodland. There are many across the country. Chicago v farmland. St Louis/KC v the Ozarks. NYC v the upstate.

We really need to find a way to keep the metro areas from being the 800 lb gorilla squishing freedom from the rural land.

America could really be split into hundreds. The COVID and libtard refugees are what worry me about this migration.

[UnwashedPeasant]

There is also the proposed State of Jefferson.

[Godzilla]

Forget joining Idaho, split off and form their own state
2 republican senators
at least one republican representative.

For Longmire fans:

Absaroka was an area in the United States, comprising parts of the states of Montana, South Dakota, and Wyoming, that contemplated secession and statehood in 1939.
