Official Proof Democrats hate America thread

On 2/15, the Idaho House passed the Greater Idaho bill and it’s headed to the Senate. This bill says that Idaho is ready to talk with Oregon about the potential to move the state line.

11 counties of eastern Oregon have already voted in favor of the idea.

It is not a waste of time because there are strong reasons for Oregon to cede these counties. And polling of Portland-area voters is promising. A top-rated pollster, The Trafalgar Group, found Idaho voters favor the idea overwhelmingly.

Benefits to Idahoans of moving the state line:

1. Idaho would have the satisfaction of freeing more than 380,000 rural Oregonians from progressive blue-state law.

2. MAINTAINS RURAL VALUES IN THE IDAHO LEGISLATURE: Like the majority of Idaho residents, the people of these rural Oregon counties value faith, family, and self-reliance. In the last eight years, eastern Oregon has voted against hard drugs, and against marijuana legalization. These counties voted 75% Republican in the 2022 US House races – Idaho voted 67% Republican.

3. HELPS STATE BUDGET: The residents of eastern Oregon currently have the same average income as those in Idaho. The benefit to Idaho’s budget of adding southern and eastern Oregon would be $170 million annually, according to a Claremont Institute study.

4. ROOM TO GROW: Currently, many people are moving to Idaho to gain political refuge from blue states. Adding a large part of Oregon to Idaho will take pressure off Idaho’s housing market by giving new people more locations to choose from. It will reduce the growth in traffic and reduce the loss of Idaho farmland to suburban housing.

5. PUSHES OREGON LAW FARTHER AWAY from Idaho’s population centers. It will reduce the ease of access and convenience of dangerous drugs to those who might be tempted by them.

The Greater Idaho bill is in the Senate State Affairs Committee. It doesn’t yet have enough votes to pass.

Best of luck to all concerned. Gives hope to the rest of the orphaned areas in all states, mine included...

While I fully understand wanting to get away from insane leftie bs, has this been thought thru real good.
As in this. I went to Medford, Or in the late 90\s and came into Or driving thru Boise. It is pretty desolate in east Or. Maybe that has changed, but there would be a lot of infrastructure that needs building.
Jobs? one might say. If things don't change in this country it won't be doable because of nutjob environment laws and the insane tree huggers that want it that way.

The people who live in that area now are doing just fine - despite being under the boot of the leftists in control of their state in Eugene and Portland. Moves like this would give them more influence because they would be aligned with a state that shares more of their interests.
