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.
The key word is COUNTIES. Cities are lost-game over. Would Oregon give up the 2-3 electoral votes to the GOP?-no way. It’s doable. Why? It’s because this isAmerica. We get things done. Just find a way where the city lefties won’t find a way to game the system like they always do.
Idaho/Oregon-plant the seed and watch the brushfire.
Everything you typed is nothing but noise from the Left.
All over this country, areas/towns/neighborhoods, fed up with their local government, incorporate all the time.
Of course the left wants to complicate this. It’s the only thing they know how to do.
These counties are now part of Idaho. Here is the state line. County and city governments in the new Idaho counties will meet in the Capitol to work out changing some names on the paperwork.
Cops, deputies and fire fighters that used to work in Oregon are now sworn in Idaho.
And another example of why Conservatives always lose. Stupidity. Stop arguing semantics, commissioning useless studies and waiting for permission from the Liberals and just F%^# do it already.
There's nothing in the Constitution that specifically says parts of one state can't break off and join an existing state. So since Idaho state legislators already agreed, pick 2 or 3 of counties that want to leave for starters, and just say as of Jan 1st 2024 we are part of Idaho and make Joe Biden stop you. Then the others join by 2025.
