Not sure about the hippie vibe in city centers these days. Like SF, Portland and Seattle have started becoming cities for working professionals. It's becoming just too expensive for regular kids fresh out of college to live in. Just as SF has practically obliterated their "hippie" residents to make way for wealth-seekers, Seattle and Portland are likely to follow suit.
They already do. Hippies can't afford to live here. These cities are best suited for young professionals these days. They are not the hippie cities of decades gone by. It is doubtful a majority would want to secede. Those who talk about ceding are actually talking about an idea people have been discussing for a long time and it isn't only the PNW that has discussed it. So saying it will take many years for the idea to become popular is a joke. It's been bantered around for decades and still hasn't caught on.
But it could never happen here. The majority of people living in the PNW would not want it. Many people here are on the liberal side but they are not radical. I also don't think there would be a place for the poor in a newly seceded society.
The constitution does not allow the US military to invade states anymore.
???? What amendment was that? There are US statutory codes that prohibit this. BTW, if a State does not recognize US statutory laws (IE. rebel), the US Military or other agencies can drop by to enforce the US law for them and if necessary, remove the beligerant parties who are not enforcing US law.
I don't have any interest in "Cascadia", but I'd be fine with it, if we dug a new river bed for the Columbia and moved it south of Portland and gave Portland to Washington state.
By the way, there is a "Cascadia State Park" in Oregon that is one of the finest places to stop and picnic and play in the river.
Scandinavian, really? Have you been there? I'm genuinely curious. I think it'd be cool to visit Norway, Denmark, Sweden, and or Finland sometime. I'm sure it's beautiful there, too!
Can you just imagine how wonderful my region would be if the people in 1860 believed that? You would be living in a state just like South Africa circa 1980, and I would be living in a nation similar to Canada. And of course I would hope that after the break up in 1860 we would have barred all immigration from the South.
