Oregon Counties VOTE TO SECEDE From Woke State, 47% Of Americans Say Civil War is COMING
In more good news for sane Oregon, in other words
not Porland, the UK Daily Mail ran a story yesterday headlined, “
THIRTEEN conservative counties in Oregon approve ballot measures for SECESSION vote that would see them join non-woke Idaho - as they issue list of demands.”
Thirteen Oregon counties — out of 36 counties total, so more than
one third of the state — have taken the initial step in a long process to formally secede from Oregon and join Idaho. The latest one, Crook County, approved starting the secession process on Tuesday.
The movement’s organizers want to put Oregon on a drastic diet by expanding the border of Idaho
two hundred miles into Oregon, making it into something like a rump state:
It’s not clear how realistic this might be anytime soon, since both state governments and the federal government must first agree, but the citizens obviously are
fired up and have momentum on their side.
It reminds me, a little, of the wild story of how West Virginia was formed. When Virginia seceded into the Confederacy, citizens in the western side of the state were outraged. They met and angrily declared Virginia’s state government
null and void. They resolved to form a new state. Despite much media wailing about how unconstitutional it all was, Lincoln recognized the new state of West Virginia anyway, and in 1863 it was admitted as our 35th state. After the Civil War, Virginia sued to reclaim its lost territory, but the Supreme Court sided with the plucky new West Virginians.
In other words,
you never know how these things will shake out. And after all, it is 2024. Buh bye, Portlandia.
