I have been saying for years that Trump is going to cause the west coast to form their own state. Eastern oregons movement to join Idaho is a kick starter

I would love it if we were to join the NCR, but there are too many dumb states between here and there. Maybe Michigan, Wisconsin, and Illinois can all just join Canada. (assuming they'll have us)
