And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

I won't have to move to Idaho. Idaho will move to me.
The people running Calif won't let you go. It's not just the money they take from you, it's the pride they feel forcing you to live they way they want you to live.
It would send a very strong message to the progs and to the political class in general. I don't think that they will pull it off, but my hopes and prayers are with them.
Idaho has become a target for californication, though.
We just used to have that Congress-critter A...hole Simpson, but now we have some of the trash eeking into local gov'ts all over Idaho. It ain't the same as it used to be........Gawd almighty!
Boise's already turning blue to say nothing of non-idaho Sun Valley and college town Moscow (fitting name). Idaho's going to turn like Nevada and Colorado. Malhuer County maybe; the rest of you form your own state.
Riiiiiiiiight. I'll give you a dollar for every actual native Californian who moves there from here in the next 10 years, and you give me a nickel for everyone who moves in who isn't one (that'll include the folks who tagged up here briefly between NYFC, Chicongo, etc., and the toothless banjo-playing kinfolk from 48 other states), and your check will buy me a new Ferrari. No small number of the new Leftards voting there will be your very own kids, whom your tax dollars have paid to indoctrinate in Marxism, and any number of illegal aliens, whom your own representatives didn't see fit to prevent from settling thereabouts when given the opportunity over the last 50 years.
Own all of that, please, before you try and palm it off on mythical invasions of "Californians". And the few actual legit Californians you get, likely as not, are politically redder than sunburnt pigs down to the marrow of their bones, because ain't nobody moving from 70 degree days 300+ days a year to 2-10' feet of snow, for any other reason than escaping liberal lunacy, rather than voting it into place.
But if you can figure out a way to entice liberal idiots there instead of here, to fade the heat off of us, go ahead on with that plan. After 50 years of predation on a once-prosperous state, it's past time some of the rest of y'all had your fair share to deal with.
Maybe you could sell the newcomers grizzly bear repellant that smells like bacon...?
As if. You only need three separate state legislatures and governors to sign off on it, followed by the House, Senate, and an actual president to sign off on it.
And while we're dreaming, it would be simpler to just give Portland to WA state, and declare L.A. County and San Francisco County provinces of Mexico, wall them both off, and then watch the ensuing comedy.
Born and raised in southern Oregon, I've been hearing about a "State of Jefferson" campaign my whole life. Like Aesop says, it's going nowhere. I have become convinced that the real solution is that old quote from Conan: "The best in life is to crush your enemies, see them driven before you......"
Since the legislatures of any states involved AND Congress all have to vote yes for this in order for it to occur you'd be better off playing SuperLotto....you are FAR more likely to win than for this pipe dream to come true.
wish they'd include Clackamas
ReplyDeleteAll ya have to do is move over to Madras.... I am from Canby, I understand.
DeleteI'll keep my fingers crossed for you!
ReplyDeleteThe people want it, but the politicians will never allow it.
ReplyDeleteIn the end of the people want it bad enough it will happen 😉
DeleteIdaho doesn't want'em. Idaho already infested with high home prices and Ocean cockroaches.
ReplyDeleteMostly.....Amen!
DeleteOcean roaches. Perfect.

Weld County, WY, not that will ever happen.

IOW, about the time Hell freezes over.
But, like the lottery, it's fun to dream.

DeleteThe State of Jefferson was a pre-WW2 idea, there has been dissatisfaction in that part of the world for some time.
