I Live In Oregon

So there's a separatist group in my state petitioning to expand Oregon's borders to include Idaho and a piece of Northern California (because why not?) to create a "Greater Idaho" state. The group behind the petition are a group of conservatives claiming they are fed up living in a Democratic-majority state so instead of moving to another state, they wish to create a "super-conservative mega-state". 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ Regardless of which side you're on politically, you have to admit that this is unbelievably stupid. As an Oregonian myself, this is straight-up embarrassing! Some states are majority Democrat, some states are majority Republican. That's just how it is! If you hate living in a state that's run by the party you're opposed to so much, you can always just move to another state. Or you can create a petition to move your state's borders to a neighboring state that's who your political alignment is the majority, out of complete disregard for those who would be effected and don't want the change, all so you can be happy! Excuse me, so you can maintain your rural values. For those conservatives who always make fun of liberals for being "snowflakes" all the time: what do you call this? 🙄
