On February 6th Roman Balmakov of The Epoch Times ran a report on Conservative Counties in Oregon becoming fed-up with the handful of Left-Wing Counties (YET CONTAINING A POPULATION MAJORITY) calling the shots. The Report is a County secession movement to leave Oregon and join Idaho.
I found the report interesting growing up in Eastern Washington State which largely faces the same Leftist tyranny from the majority population living West of the Cascade Mountain Range (essentially the coast-side) with a minority of land area.
Indeed, Balmakov mentions many Conservative Counties have expressed the same griping about Leftist population centers but really go into those other States.
I suspect there is an unlikely prospect of success by Conservative Counties in any State dominated by the Leftist Majority Tyranny – at least no peaceful prospect.
Epoch TV Description:
After many years of being fed up with the policies coming out of Portland, over 30 percent of the counties in Oregon have voted to secede. Specifically, they voted to leave behind Oregon, and instead join the state of Idaho—in the process creating a new state that would be called Greater Idaho.
Out of the 36 total counties in Oregon, 11 of them have voted in favor of seceding because by and large, the people living there believe that their values are no longer being represented by the state legislature, which is dominated by extremely liberal politicians coming out of Portland.
