Critics question the feasibility of merging the two states, as it would require complex legal processes and could result in administrative challenges and disruptions. As the website explained, there are many difficult legal obstacles to overcome before this endeavor could be fulfilled.

Opponents of the Greater Idaho movement also highlight the potential social and cultural impacts. They argue that secession could further polarize communities and exacerbate divisions within the region. Some worry that leaving Oregon could isolate the counties from the rest of the state and diminish opportunities for collaboration, shared resources, and cultural exchange.

This is an interesting conversation as it pertains to the autonomy of local communities. But it also reflects a deeper reality bubbling under the surface. While the movement itself is currently focused on a regional secession, it seems reasonable to suggest that it could set a precedent for broader divisions within the country.

This is the result of one-party rule driven by universal mail-in voting. Everywhere with universal mail-in balloting has one-party rule or is trending that way.

God willing, it does. This country is finished as a 50-state entity.

Democrats: We believe in self-determination! Let people everywhere decide their own future.
News item: Some conservative counties want to leave their liberal states.
Democrats: Hell, no! Those counties have no right to do that.

Just expel California and New York from the Union and take Hawaii back to territorial status.

Will fix 99% of the problems.

We need a national divorce, however, I have to think about the red areas of blue states (most of Maine, upstate New York and the Quiet Corner of Connecticut) because good Americans live there, too.

some people would see this as acceptable but I say let’s get it on like it’s 1861 and end liberalism for good.

I’ll say it again. We should not let people who hate America and its people keep one square inch of our beloved land. We should kick them all out like we did the Tories in 1783. They can go to Canada, Africa, Europe, Mexico, or wherever they want.

"But this regional debate raises another issue: the possibility that it could be a precursor to a national divorce."
