I love how "patriotic" right wing types go around constantly dreaming about the breakup of the country and the various states. I shave no idea why they find this stuff so appealing.

If the secession movement actually believes they can seize control the main water supply for 30 million downstream people who depend on the Colorado River daily, it's very good that their attempt is going on the ballot. All of those downstream folks, the city dwellers, farmers, and industrialists, all need to know who to go after.

This movement will never go anywhere. Do not mistake an upwind fart for headway, even if it is something in the air.
Pretty much sums up this "movement".

Let's get this straight: the "3/4 of Oregon" that wants to "divorce" the rest of the state doesn't represent even 1/2 of the people in Oregon. That's like the "4/5 of New York" that wants to secede from New York City metro doesn't represent even 1/2 of the people in New York State.

It appeals to the ignorant, delusional, and paranoid.

Slaughter?

It's time to touch earth again, pnw. You don't want folks here to think you're crazy, do you?
Or maybe you do.

Either way, people aren't going to go about slaughtering each other for North Colorado. That thought is totally over the top wacko.

Hey, why is that puny state of Colorado getting all the attention?

Northern California / Southern Oregon has a similar movement going, which would have a much greater effect on the nation as a whole. Four more senators, structurally speaking. All of them liberal, demographically speaking.

Just saying.
