▶ In this video, I talk about the crazy proposal and movement to turn Idaho into a super state by adding to it the eastern part of Oregon and potentially northern California. Understanding the origins of this movement in the rural vs urban differences; how many of the counties in Oregon are actually supporting this; but how it is ultimately doomed to failing for the same reason it exists: they are outnumbered in the state when it comes to voters - in addition to the fact that Federal institutions would never allow it to happen due to the precedent it would set.
