When 2 cities make all the decisions for a state (Illinois) and those 2 cities have a political ideology that is the polar opposite of the rest of the state. Why would the remaining counties want to stay in that state?
Maybe if they thought a little bit about it they would want to stay so that each state does not do the same thing and destroy democracy with the balance of the electoral college being completely one sided all because you don't like your neighbor🤔
For the same reason that a couple with differences seeking a divorce is not the ideal solution. More unity and less division is much more ideal and is something we need more of in this country.
Democrat playbook. 1) add welfare incentives 2) invite homeless shelters and then homeless 3) reduce law and order 4) control big cities and states forever
If the government would simply abide the Constitution, set Term Limits, end Special Interest Groups, and limit the size of the government. We might then be put back on the right track.
Upstate and Western NY from NYC and LI, I left the state for Nevada because downstate controls everything and is way too bureacratic and controlling. Even the Upstate Democratic party isn't as toxic as NYCs. Two separate world under one oppressive thumb.
You & several other's are going to have a harder time understanding the brazen incompetent firearm handling asinine backwards logic of NYPD should you chose to take them in
Forgive me if this is a stupid or insensitive question, but why don't separatists in counties such as those in Oregon or Marylan/Virginia just move to the states they prefer? I realize you might not want to leave the land your family has lived on for generations, but wouldn't it be infinitely easier to sell your land and move as opposed to getting both states and congress to agree to a split/merger?
Western Maryland, specifically Garrett, Allaganey, and Washington counties, have been wanting to break away and become part of West Virginia or Pennsylvania because of all the Gerrymandering of Maryland's 6th Congressional District and our absentee Congressman who's been hiding in Potomac, Maryland.
What good person living a righteous life with a moral code. Would not want to seperate from our federal government. The u.s. has become so corrupt calling evil good and good evil. Must seperate
If a majority of voters in those Oregon counties want to separate from Oregon then people in the other who oppose this because of their own selfish reasons should just back off
And it’s also because they don’t like Oregon going to Biden. And Oregon has the 2nd longest Democratic stretch for governorship after neighboring Washington State.
As long as Idaho can pick up the tab for all that land in Oregon why not? Those conservative Oregonian women and their daughters could then enjoy the loss of freedom, autonomy and growing lack of proper medical care that women are currently enjoying in Idaho. Now if Oregon does this, we here in New York should have the right to say that we no longer want our tax dollars to fund the new greater Idaho. You can pull yourselves up by your bootstraps and be self sufficient. Seems fair to me.
. . . . and so the conflict over “Representation “ continues. Even during the Constitutional Convention the point was made. Anti-Federalists vs. Federalists pointedly argued over the right to vote. I believe that it was Patrick Henry who argued for only property owners having the right to vote. I wonder if this “Debate” will terminate the Nation?
Go Buckhead City ! I have heard of them wanting to become self governing for a while now due to crime going up and soft on crime policies among other things and I would fully support them leaving Atlanta and their woke politics !!
Absolutely! We should also break off every rural area in america to become their own states, swing the balance of the electoral college completely, and install a permanent supreme leader just to own the libs
Do you remember when there was 180 straight days of unrest in front of the Federal Courthouse in Boise Idaho? Yeah that never happened, that happened in Portland Oregon. Nuf said.
I support the Greater Idaho Movement, DC Statehood Movement & Puerto Rico statehood Movement. I also support partitioning larger states like California, Florida and Texas into smaller (more governable) states. Thanks 👍🇺🇲☺️
I would rather give Puerto Rico it's independence. They were granted self rule by Spain and later that year, Spain signed a Peace Treaty giving the United States Guam and Puerto Rico.
@@richardross119 Other countries have made special districts for their Capital city in which the physical property line is considered an administrative area and no one lives on the grounds. I think that would be best.
Upstate New York (including western NY where I live) and Long Island want to separate from New York City, which always controls state and federal level elections. Much of upstate NY and Long Island is mostly red/conservative/republican while the highly populated New York City (which as I already stated always has final say in all state and federal level elections) is mainly blue/liberal/democrat. Their votes seal the fate of every other NY state resident. We wanna split the state into 3 autonomous regions, each with its own Governor and legislative body. Sadly, there are those who say "Oh, New York state couldn't survive without New York City." To that, I say... Lets agree to disagree as I feel we'd be just fine without NYC.
@@alaric49 what do you see on your drugs ? or propaganda coercive mind control? Texas wanted 10k to deliver to NYC Is that right? I'm an American not a. Northeastern liberal democrat
The rural part of Oregon that splits off will lose a significant portion of funding that comes from the more populated part of the state. It will see the state services it has deteriorate. Remember, Idaho as a whole is a rural state that is not as well funded as Oregon. Former Oregon residents won't be happy after they join Idaho. They might also want to note that Idaho has a 6% state sales tax, Oregon doesn't have a state sales tax. My suggestion would be to work with the democrats in Salem rather than fight with them.
I think if they want to live in Idaho..move there!! That said, the tax thing, OR has income tax..it too sucks, in fact with sales tax at least you have choices!
Eastern Washington and Eastern Oregon should go together and form a new state. Both of them face the same problem with the western portions of their states being controlled by absolute lunatics in Seattle and Portland.
