Conservative areas are looking to escape Democrat-controlled rule. And now the “Greater Idaho” campaign to redraw the border between the Gem State and Oregon has drawn harsh criticism from top Democrats in the Idaho state legislature.
Fox Digital on March 5 she hopes and expects the campaign will not actually translate to new borders between the neighboring states.
“We should not be self-segregating by ideology like this,” she said. “I think we’re on a path to civil war if we keep going down this path. We have got to learn to get along better and work together better. The answer cannot be to carve up the country and redraw lines that have been in place for a century or more, just so we can only be surrounded by people that perfectly agree with us.”
Proponents of the Greater Idaho movement argue that because the northwestern parts of Oregon hold a preponderance of political power in the state, conservative voters have little chance of advancing their political priorities, as Breitbart News noted in February: KGW noted that the February 15 resolution is only a step toward “serious conversations” about the possibility of Idaho absorbing parts of Oregon and that any agreement between the states to shift their borders would need congressional approval to move forward.
