it's good that the military must serve civilian authority, but this particular civilian authority is especially dumb

Idaho doesn't have any cities with minorities. It's "getting away from liberal control" which really means getting away from Black and Latino people having a voice.

Speleothing posted:Idaho doesn't have any cities with minorities. neither does Oregon really, the largest non-white demographic is latino, and they're not particularly concentrated in cities, a driving force behind the state's political divides, or less prevalent in Idaho Idaho is something like 5pp more white, and that's mostly due to Oregon having more asians/pacific islanders while media narratives and racial resentments shouldn't be underestimated (see: coverage of Portland that has convinced people it's a post-apocalyptic wasteland), in this case the culture warring is absolutely about other white people

Idaho Population 1.780 Million Oregon Population 4.21 Million At most, I can't see Idaho gaining more than a million people. But Maybe there are some good resources in the east part of Oregon. The state of Idaho becomes the new rome. Conquering all the little cities east and south of them. Then only stopping when met with the forces of Denver. mazzi Chart Czar has issued a correction as of 19:03 on Mar 11, 2022 |

In Oregon it’s mostly just the normal thing you find with the rural interests largely being ignored by the liberals in the cities and all of those counties just being ceded to GOP culture warriors. A lot of these little places are very dependent on agriculture/timber and the state government has been trying to find ways to specifically target those for more tax revenue. Since they have completely ceded the narrative this is spun as job killing tax hikes. In reality, these taxes were in fact cut before (also by Democrats) and it decimated the local government budgets when it happened. It’s a continuation of normal things that Democrats in power do, with various policies getting enacted due to regulatory capture or direct lobbying by large industry groups that totally fucks regular people and communities they don’t care about. I work a lot in Southern Oregon and you can’t really overstate how much they despise the political institutions in the state. A lot of it has roots all the way back to the spotted owl days when the timber industry was upended and no one with power seriously did anything to help any of these little communities that died during the upheaval.

The “will of the majority” is largely ignored in the government beyond the city/county level, regardless of how you slice it. No one cares about rural or urban general public interests in the US government aside from the perceived culture war objectives that earn votes. https://scholar.princeton.edu/sites/default/files/mgilens/files/gilens_and_page_2014_-testing_theories_of_american_politics.doc.pdf The entire reason there is a balk thread is because both sides will claim, “framing ignoring the will of the majority this way is pretty smart, makes you seem less undemocratic.” and be correct depending on where you draw the political boundary. All the while the material interests of both urban and rural populations are ignored in favor of the interests of moneyed elites stripping the copper out of the walls in the background while the facade of this “democracy” continues to fall apart under the increasingly violent and polarized back and forth culture war. Right now the fire is banked at the national level but let’s see if the US can survive another bout of tug of war if we get a round of DeSantis, Trump, or whichever flavor of insanity the Rs put forward in 2024.

Those little towns get to eat poo poo and die. This is like confusing suburban upper middle class F-350 drivers with actual rural poor people. Those big red blobs on a map that each get 2 senators and at least 1 rep each are not the same as the people that actually got to live (and die) there.

It's not the craziest idea, people tend to migrate left and right to stay in their climate comfort zones. English dialects follow that same patter. It's why there is more variation going North to South.

I use the term "security forces" when possible because it routes around middle class americans' trained-since-birth taboo of never criticizing the police. I've found its a great way to get past copaganda thought killing.
