DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT
CRITICAL SUPPORT TO AMERIKKKAN BALKANIZATION
Do it. Let’s start balkanizing
Hell yeah
Let’s see how well they do on their own without deep dish and overly complicated hot dogs
Hey at least we have good public transit
True
I gotta get back out there soon, I miss riding the bus
Come meet the corgi!
Conservatives in Oregon or Washington want to do the same with Idaho, is this the new trend?
For each conservative bulkanation we’ll get 2 more senators.Wow, I would love to give Democrats even more cover to do nothing ever. “We were gonna make queers immortal, but there are 170 Republicans in the Senate and we tried our hardest.”
The 170 Republican senators have called a constitutional convention and will pass a range of draconian amendments to the constitution, giving Trump the legislative powers of Henry VIII and making him the immortal Leader - donate $50 to Act Blue to save democracy!
(Henry VIII codified the ability to make legislation by royal proclamation, bypassing parliament and setting the British state up for the execution of Charles I and civil war a hundred years later)
Lol, it’s nothing new. I remember my skinhead coworker talking about it 8 years ago.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_Idaho_movement
As of July 2024, thirteen counties in Oregon had approved ballot measures in favor of Greater Idaho: Baker, Crook, Grant, Harney, Jefferson, Klamath, Lake, Malheur, Morrow, Sherman, Union, Wallowa, and Wheeler.
If this ever happened, the new state would be even more of a tax haven or credit card zone of interest than Delaware or South Dakota.
It would become a Próspera (libertarian special economic zone in Honduras that their government now trying to remove) within the United States and immediately be set upon by crypto miners and libertarians.
The existing residents would violently revolt against the fact that their rural communities now have real estate speculation, raw sewage in the rivers, and black bears in the streets eating garbage.
Good lord you know the kind of environmental fuck ups that will happen there
Mfw you expected it to be fakenews but it actually happened
New
flag is a 503 
of burgers, stars, and various 
and explosions.Not happening, deep state likes it at an even 50
we’ll just combine the dakotas or carolinas to keep it at 50
Delmarva baby.
Arkankansasas
Lmao
BAL-KA-NIZE! BAL-KA-NIZE!
Now with even more libertarian trash eating black bears!
To clarify, libertarian black bears who eat trash.
honestly my issue with this is there would no longer be 50 states. they need to either coordinate a bunch of different splits so there are 100, or merge two together. there are a lot of states that dont matter at all and dont have any meaningful differences and are right next to each other, and i think they should be merged together if we’re gonna add one.
Add this and Puerto Rico, merge Mass & RI, merge New Hampshire & Vermont
According to the article, other counties tried this already in 2020 and 2022 so I doubt anything comes of this. Pretty funny though
It was 7/over 100, and the AG specifically said they cant do it. so it won’t happen until they make it happen
plz
This stuff is hitting the news ahead of schedule it seems. It seems like a joke until you realize that they are getting ready for parallel structure “reconstituted” state governments once the immigrant purges start. Democrats had a chance to do this for the black belt and Aztlan but of course vilified those movements into the grave.
no more half measures walter
