Imagine hating your state so bad that becoming part of Idaho is your backup plan.
I don't actually hate my state, just the leftist/communist/socialist policies being crammed down our throats by chairman brown. No representation means its time to break away.
@@himmelpiratreanimeirt1813 Then don’t drive on those roads and bridges. Don’t let your kids go to school. Don’t you dare collect your social security checks.
As long as Portland exists, no one living outside of Multnomah County has a say in any elections.
A single city deciding the fate of the rest of the State is why we need to curb the power metropolitan areas have.
Every state needs to start the same kind of county-level electoral college that Nebraska and Maine have by creating electoral districts based on population, that way Portland doesn't decide elections.
@@afluffypinecone3577 Nah knuckle dragging republicans already have enough special rights.
@@himmelpiratreanimeirt1813 I'm willing to bet that most of the things you've been trained to hate are not even remotely close to "leftist/communist/socialist". Also what's with right wingers always talking about things being crammed down their throats. Is that like a kink or something?

@@got2kittys True. But if you can't do time... don't do crime.

Just move.
Well said. I agree, I can't stand people that complain constantly. They should get out.
We don't need them would be fine with me too may idiots at my swimming hole anyway lol
shhhhh let them leave. we dont want them here anyways
They could just redraw the lines themselves. If they get local law enforcement on board who can stop them? It's a state issue and the federal government really has no say in it.

Breaking news: upstate New York to join Idaho! “We just don’t share the same values as the Big Apple.”
As someone born and raised in the Big Apple in the Bronx, a lot here would join that movement. The liberals here have become to crazy. Used to love and would die for NYC but after living in places like FL seeing what freedom is really like!

Yeah, their complaint comes down to them having lost the popular vote in the state that they are in so now they have a scheme to redefine what the state is rather than just move to the other place (so they can keep the land). It will only work temporarily. These people are trying to outrun entropy while still contributing to it. In fact, I'd go one step further and identify this attempt to buy time at the expense of others as the fundamental basis of capitalism. Every one of these schemes a temporary win for a later failure. How many people on Earth now, 8 billion? Wow. And they are trying to hide from democracy. Not happening.
Racists just wantabe racists. They want their Whites Only State.

Sounds like to me they don’t fell represented and want to. I don’t see nothing wrong with it. It’s a better argument than dc being a state don’t see y’all liberal crying about that
Aren't these the same people that tell others to move if they don't like something?
Their hypocrisy is astounding, isn't it?
But don’t forget about public employees and farmers who can’t leave.
Not happening .
Lol
Most of them say to leave the COUNTRY….not the state.
In a broader sense most of them for years would say "If you dont like it here then LEAVE!" to every group in the country........ I would say the same to them

@@kwpp7 Um, if there has been any socialist takeover, I'd say it happened at least 100 years ago. You don't realize this but you were born into it.

@@wj3186 shut up you uneducated moron
It’s not really for politics it’s just the fact that Oregon focuses on Portland too much and Eastern Oregon gets ignored

Good luck with that, we have been trying to do something similar in northern CA since 1942.

I see this as an alternative to secession.
This is the same crowd that complained about the Dems when Hilary lost and told them to "Get over it".
*They’re the world’s biggest whiners.* 🙄
And your the same crowd that rioted for months and claimed for the last 4 years the 2016 election was hacked even when the FBI sayed it did not happend.

Sure you can start by explaining how 3/4s of the state voted for one candidate and the other one won the state
@@samhershey4644 Do you mean that 3/4 of the land itself voted? Or are you seriously telling me that 3/4 of the 4.25 million 'people' living in Oregon (which is equal to approximately 3.18 million people) voted for a particular candidate but they lost to the remaining 1.06 million people in the state - assuming that every citizen of any age could vote, of course, just for simplicity's sake? They call that Apartheid, dude and you need to take that up with the United Nations! But, I jest! I prefer your ridiculous notion that land has a vote instead! Actually, it's not so ridiculous... it's history in many countries of the civilized world - including America! And your real point is that land owners should get to vote based purely on the 'amount' of land they each own. Based on that logic, any of those 850,000 voters in those 7 counties who want to join Idaho and therefore support your move but who, sadly, rent their home or perhaps work on a farm but don't own the property are therefore not entitled to a vote at all! Good luck convincing them to give up their vote. I think they may just decide to practice their 2nd amendment rights on you. But, hey, go for it... I'll be praying for you! Simply put, people vote - land doesn't!
We need this in California!

When California tried this the most recent attempt claimed that north and south California should be split over Southern California’s free usage of water from Northern California. It would have split the state into two democratic states so its not quite the same as gerrymandering out just the republicans to maximize electoral advantage, which is what this man is proposing in Oregon.
The only decision left to the common man is to stay or leave……..period.
Or stand up and fight these idiots.
@@TruePatriot-mr6rg stand and fight is looking like where things will go. People have had enough of the Left bullshit.
@@TruePatriot-mr6rg the reality is you cannot fight them at all. They control the government. They control the media. They control all of finance. They even control the military. If you so much as try to stand up to them they will destroy you so fast you won’t even know what happened. No one will help you because they will all be terrified. Even your “republican” party will destroy you too. Just look how fast they turned of the Washington DC demonstrators. It’s 100% true. You have only one choice left: stay and conform……or leave
@@truthisoutthere6721 pretty sure that's what people told our forefathers too.
@@TruePatriot-mr6rg different times. The analogy doesn’t work today. For example…..the feds have probably already downloaded your comments, run you through 100 databases and flagged you for investigation so fast they were done before you even posted your comment. You have only one decision left: stay and assimilate…..or leave
The real problem is the large cities controlling the entire states and ignoring or even abusing the rural communities. Adopting a state wide electoral college system is the real solution. To become governor you have to win the most counties. The state's vote for president would be determined the same way.
Your suggestion is way too outrages. Unless you vote red. That essentially means no democrat will ever be in power any more and the elected republican will most likely always have the least amount of votes. Again the popular vote is ignored.
But to elaborate on your comment in TX where the large cities get divided up into districts so any democrat has no say. In TX I imagine there are many people like the eastern Oregon folks that feel like they are not represented. The two party system is way outdated for a 350M people democracy. Either way you swing. It simply does no longer work. Especially when one side does not want to work with the other side. Pretty pathetic if you'd ask me.
@@photographyisnotacrime7300 Either that or its going to eventually result in physical war like it did once before. The deranged big city politicians and special interests groups don't get to run the country, it's that simple.

TELL IDAHO THEY LUCKY OREGON COUNTRY DONT WANT THEIR STUPID CRATERS BACK.
Oregon Country
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oregon was a distinctly American term for the region. The British used the term Columbia District instead.[2] The Oregon Country consisted of the land north of 42°N latitude, south of 54°40′N latitude, and west of the Rocky Mountains-with the eastern border generally running on or close to the Continental Divide-westwards to the Pacific Ocean. The area now forms part of the present day Canadian province of British Columbia, all of the U.S. states of Oregon, Washington, and Idaho, as well as parts of Montana and Wyoming. The British presence in the region was generally administered by the Hudson's Bay Company, whose Columbia Department comprised most of the Oregon Country and extended considerably north into New Caledonia and beyond 54°40′N, with operations reaching tributaries of the Yukon River.[3]
I was born and raised in the Salem area. I SUPPORT the separation!
White man :"We've had this land for multi generations, moving is not an option. "
Native Americans be like :"wait, that was an option? "
He says rural people have traditional values of family, faith and freedom. What does he feel Urban values are? Does he know anyone in urban areas. I have lived in both and find values of the average person the same. Both have their rebels and misfits.
Let's be honest. Urban people just look for freebies because middle class is hollowed out and it's mostly poor and elites.
@@carolsmith6253 then you must’ve never lived in a rural community, especially in farming they take government handouts just as much as any urban family…handouts are not supposed to be representative of being poor, they’re just what they are, to help stimulate the economy whether local or federal.
Traditional values are more meth, mayonnaise and mountain dew where I live in Southern Oregon.
@@naswiipp 😂😂idk but that was kinda funny…
Exactly, exactly! What do you think we value in the Willamette Valley? The same things, we just don't like Trump. (PS my cousin lives in Halfway, Oregon which is about as far away as you can get and still be in Oregon and they had meth and every other drug up in their community so don't tell me it's just the Willamette Valley or Southern Oregon that has a drug problem, it's all over Oregon)
So acording to this guy, I have no morals cause I'm not rural. I value family and freedom.
You probably have morals but did
You vote for people that want to get rid of birthing person day or sperm donor day.
No he is saying the people making all the decisions for the state only have Portland values in mind.
Good for them, they are being ignored by the population centers and lead totally different lives
“Moving is not the option”
Native Americans: “HA!”

@@ms.reonalove9408 well said
We are a conquered people. That’s what happens. We lose our land and they move in, been like that since the dawn of time.
Look at the size of the Navajo nation. It is bigger than west Virginia, and these were their ancestoral lands. Look at the Hopi, Souix reservations, Crow, the black foot and the dozens and dozens of costal tribes in Washington state and Oregon that are still on their territorial land. You know the native Americans didn't have borders and treaties right? They were not all organized and settled like a bunch of States. This means there were HUGE GAPS in some places and Tons of overlap and concurrent claims in others. And for the over 400 HUNDREDS YEARS that we have all existed together they warred with each other and took each other's territory too.
Haha
JUST MOVE! THEY’LL HAVE TO REPLACE EVERY SINGLE MAP OF THE COUNTRY!!!!
They belong in Russia or Argentina anyway.
You mean like When Alaska and Hawaii joined the U.S, the U.S.S.R disbanded, Britian got out of the U.K, Tawain became a country or Isreal was formed. Just a few examples the point maps change.
Who the heck cares bro. Do you live in those parts of Oregon or Idaho? If it doesn’t affect you then who cares
This is also the case with New York, Virginia, and some other states in the rest of the country. The fact is the urban areas have more population than rural areas so the urban areas control the outcomes of elections. The only way to fix this is to have politicians that can work with both sides instead of fulfilling their own personal agendas.
That would be called CENTRISM. But, that doesn’t make shocking media headlines.
As someone who lives in rural Oregon county I’m all for it!! Portland is a disgrace!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸

They should be asking that question, but they are brainwashed by FOX FACTLESS TEA PARTY NEWS, and have a chicken little the sky is falling mentality, due to FACTLESS information. The RepubliCons (republicans disappeared long ago) would rather lie to their constituents then confess what they are really up to.

This is literally a non-issue 1.3 million people in Oregon voted for Biden; 900,000 voted for trump.
not really. Oregon is pretty left leaning, with that many republicans/ people on the right you cant expect them to not be thrilled over whats happening in portland etc and how their gov is reacting to it.
I'll try not to give political views in this. I haven't looked up the votes for Oregon but the numbers you mentioned seem accurate enough. The issue with the way it is now according to some people is that they are under represented. Portland is so big population wise compared to the rest of the state, that their political opinion dictates the opinion of the state. Similar to my state of Washington but at least Washington has a few biggish cities but the similar problem remains. If you vote Republican and you are in the east side of Oregon or Washington your vote is counteracted by the ginormaus Seattle or Portland. Which is also why the electoral college falls short in representing all voters.
@@madeleinewalker838 That's democracy baby! Majority rules. It's just that people are so toxic these days they see everyone who is not explicitly on their side as a bitter enemy.
Also, every time a President won the Electoral College but lost the popular vote a Republican ended up becoming president (Hayes, Harrison, Bush, Trump -- John Quincy Adams didn't win popular vote but didn't win electoral college either, was selected by house). Electoral College is actually a tool to protect the conservative minority.
I control more land so my vote should count more.
Votes are representative of people, not geography.
So if much of Oregon wants to be part of Idaho, you would support it.
@@daleorr6112 I honestly don't care since it won't really affect me if they do. That said, you missed the sarcasm. The argument that rural votes should count more is archaic. It traces back to land ownership and even slavery being the basis for it. Just because you control more land doesn't mean your vote should carry more weight.

Right on rural Oregon!!! Go for Idaho You will be 100% more represented there
If these counties can move to Idaho because they aren’t represented properly, then they support DC statehood. Because not only are their views not appropriately represented, they aren’t represented at all
Outstanding point. One that should be asked directly to these Republican voters.
DC is a small city, why isn't it incorporated into the state it is in? Which one is that? Maryland, it should be part of Maryland. Otherwise, why not break the states up into city states and have 1000's of states. Puerto Rico should be a state (It actually has a large population.)That makes sense and should have happened except congress is being a jerk about PR. who did vote to join.

@@mycatisawhore9336 No, I don't even watch CNN. And no, I know plenty about what this movement is about. It's about creating a white ethnostate and taking land and resources from Oregon.

Hey, I have a great idea, get rid of electoral college and then everyones vote counts. How does that sound? lol
It sounds like it would give more power to the urban centers. The point of the Electorals is to keep one or two states from getting all of the power.
This growing wave of Anti-Federalism in a country this large and geographically diverse is already causing problems. Abolishing the Electoral College would only worsen our situation. It’s hard to picture a future where abolishing the Electoral College doesn’t lead to massacres and maybe even outright politicide.
Just imagine how all of the gun-toting rural folk would feel if Donald Trump lost to Biden again in 2024 because the city folk voted for Biden and there was no Electoral College to act as a final decision. Every vote would be called into question. The rural folk would storm every city in the country and hold the cities hostage until they got their way.
Or worse, what if Biden died, Kamala took over, and then lost to Trump in 2024? Every vote would be called into question, there would be no Electoral College to make the final decision, and the city folk would be beyond pissed. The country folk, fearing that their votes would be tossed out, would form vigilante groups and protect the ballot areas. Widespread accusations of voter intimidation and election meddling would build up. The city folk would attack the vigilantes, fearing the vigilantes are aiding in rigging the election.
Getting rid of the Electoral College is a horrible idea. If you think the Electoral College is bad, the popular vote is simply worse. The Electoral College acts as a buffer. Getting rid of this buffer would end this country after only a few election cycles, assuming we get more than one.
@@josephhoward4697 Well, most of this country never wanted Trump as president in 2016, we ended up with that idiot who gave free rein to systematic stupidity, and now look what happened to this country. Most of us knew it was going to be a problem while the minority totally ignored it and still do to this day. We made the same point in 2020 but with greater numbers, but Trumpers still showed just how stupid they were by trying to dismantle our democracy based off of Trump's favorite tactic, to lie. So, we don't want those so easily deceived by lies making decisions for this country.

All Americans learned not to judge a book by its cover in kindergarten. “Low hanging fruit” is what actual joke writers would call your attempt at comedy.
Let's see now, What have I heard before from republicans in the decades past. "Love it, or, Leave it." Yeah, that's it.
My family has been in Oregon since the mid-1800s, Both Rural and Urban. I have lived and done well in both. But the better opportunities are found in urban environments, with the hope to make enough money to purchase a retirement in a rural setting. Without the Urban contributions to the rural communities both in State monies and Tourism, they would be in much worse conditions. If they just want more power in determining the States path, Vote in people who will work for the entire State and its total population. Tom McCall, Rep. was a Great Governor and a great example. Otherwise, take their own words and turn them into action. "Love it or Leave it." Oregon's borders will remain the same.
For a History lesson, Idaho, Washington, and even parts of Montana, was within the Oregon Territory. Oregon History is a huge part of the United States History. You won't find a perfect solution by changing the name of where you live. Even in Idaho the Oregon Trail runs through the entire State on it's way to the Willamette Valley and from there spread beyond to the shores of the Oregon Coast completely open to All people of the Nation and the World.
