Instead of fixing Oregon, the Greater Idaho movement seeks to leave it. White supremacists are on board.
Rural Oregon is locally known for it’s deep racist roots.
Oregon was literally founded as a whites-only ethnostate and remained as such until 1926. It’s amazing how few people know that.

Fuck those people. They only want out to pursue tyrannical bullshit, which theyre rightfully held back from via Oregon laws.
Tolerance is wonderful, repressive tolerance is not.
What baffles me is that no one who supports this stupid ass idea realizes that having part of your new state be separated from the rest of it by a FUCKING MOUNTAIN RANGE that IS REGULARLY CLOSED DUE TO SNOW IN THE WINTER would be an administrative nightmare.
Edit for grammatical clarity.
Is this a reference to something that makes no sense in reality?
Watch how quick all this falls apart when the people of Idaho figure out just how much it will cost them to support all of Eastern Oregon.
yeah my understanding is that the entire area is basically wholly supported by western oregon and is a massive net drain on the state budget.
All rural areas are massively funded by the cities. The tax revenue in the rural areas doesn’t even come close to covering the basic infrastructure of roads and utilities.
Their community’s economies are also highly dependent on government handouts.
