which part of Oregon is that though? The part that is on fire and suffering from massive insurrection, or the part that wants to secede from the state and become part of Montana? Either way, your optimism seems very out of place. Even if one city makes changes, that doesn't define it as a trend. The rest of the country is not following

edit the embarrassing

I assume you’re talking about Portland. Speaking as someone who lives in Portland, you’re grossly misinformed. It’s time to change your filter bubble.

If joining Montana is "success" you've set your sights too low

/s (no offence to Montanans, it's a beautiful state. I just couldn't resist)

They want to 'succeed' in Idaho in any case, not Montana, which does not share a border with Oregon.

I'm also curious about the 'massive insurrection'. Is that like the guy in the frog costume?

Could be that they want to be an exclave like their Kaliningrad friends.
