In Democrat controlled states, it\u2019s the major cities that are their centers of power. If you look at election maps for many states, including Kalifornistan, you will see big blobs of blue surrounded by a sea of red.<\/p>\n<p>The problem is that those blue blobs contain the majority of the population and the red or Republican counties end up not just underrepresented, but in many cases, unrepresented in the state legislatures. These are people who, for instance, believe in the right to keep and bear arms. (The Second Amendment) They also do not support the protection by the Democrats of illegal aliens and other criminals.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.pinimg.com\/736x\/ab\/f2\/59\/abf259afedd5b4d90a855efc0993e776.jpg?resize=186%2C186&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"186\" height=\"186\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Things started coming to a head a few years ago with the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/angry.net\/blog2\/?s=greater+idaho\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Greater Idaho<\/a>\u201d project. Eastern Oregon is pretty solidly moderate to conservative. They have nothing in common with the western cities. Because of this, several counties started looking at seceding from Oregon and joining Idaho. Now this idea is starting to spread, especially in Illinois. <a href=\"https:\/\/justthenews.com\/nation\/states\/center-square\/seven-more-counties-consider-separation-creating-new-state\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Here are the details from Just the News<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>Voters in seven Illinois counties have a chance to join 33 others that approved referendums to consider forming a new state apart from Cook County.

I started looking into things and unsurprisingly it\u2019s the counties in the southern part of the state.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>State Rep. Brad Halbrook, R-Shelbyville, said citizens are frustrated with what\u2019s happening in Springfield.<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u201c<b>They don&#8217;t see that anything\u2019s going to change for the positive, and when I speak about that, you know, it&#8217;s the SAFE-T Act, it&#8217;s the Protect Illinois Communities Act, the other social issues,\u201d Halbrook told The Center Square.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>One of the things that fat slob Govno has been doing is tearing up the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> Amendment, all the while making it far more dangerous for average citizens to live their lives. He\u2019s also taxing everything into oblivion.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>Halbrook said Gov. J.B. Pritzker has added over 60 new taxes in eight years.<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u201c<b>Billions of dollars have been transferred from citizens, from businesses into state budgets or into the state treasury,\u201d Halbrook said.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>And that has led to a number of businesses pulling up stakes and bailing out of Illinois. Regular people are also leaving since they can\u2019t afford to remain in the state. Now entire counties are looking to secede since they don\u2019t see a path forward that can correct the state\u2019s decline.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>Halbrook proposed a <a href=\"https:\/\/ilga.gov\/Legislation\/BillStatus?DocNum=16&amp;GAID=18&amp;DocTypeID=HJR&amp;LegId=162825&amp;SessionID=114\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">resolution<\/a> that goes farther than the ballot measures and urges Congress to declare 101 of Illinois\u2019 102 counties the 51st state in the U.S.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter \" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.pinimg.com\/736x\/0e\/79\/bb\/0e79bb4ad22c99d20b2d95a81e8a60a6.jpg?resize=415%2C404&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"415\" height=\"404\" \/><\/p>\n<p>That one county that is being excluded is Cook County. It\u2019s Cook County that is the major cause of the problems Illinois is currently facing. Why? Chicago. Chicago has long been controlled by the Democrat Party and since Richard J. Daley, who died in office, things have gone solidly into the dumpster The last two mayors, Lori Lightfoot and currently Brandon Johnson have demonstrated levels of incompetence rarely seen outside of a Third World banana republic. That county wields an inordinate amount of control over the rest of the state, to the detriment of pretty much everyone else.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>The Indiana legislature has advanced bills to consider bringing Illinois counties into the Hoosier state. Last year, an Iowa state lawmaker proposed a bill to bring several western Illinois counties into the Hawkeye state.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>This matches what is going on with the Greater Idaho project. The Idaho legislature has agreed with the counties immigrating to Idaho. Obviously, the Oregon communists are dead set against allowing anyone to flee the workers paradise they are constructing. The last I saw, they weren\u2019t even considering a vote.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>Gov. J.B.

I think that&#8217;s what&#8217;s important. Why do people want to do this? Why do they not want to stay here in the state of Illinois? What we&#8217;re seeing this spring and summer in real time, even the Chicago Bears are discussing moving to a neighboring state of Indiana. Why is that happening?\u201d Halbrook said.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The issue is that the Democrats don\u2019t care. They don\u2019t consider anything you might want to discuss to be relevant to their goals of absolute power. As to the Bears leaving Illinois? If there were some what for the State to seize the team and block them from leaving, they would do it in a heartbeat.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>When asked about trying to effect change in Cook County instead of pushing for separation from Illinois, Halbrook said the dynamic would change if legislation changes.<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u201c<b>But that&#8217;s not the priority of the super majority. We&#8217;re seeing their priorities, which lead to these higher costs, these many other things that we&#8217;ve discussed here,\u201d Halbrook said.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Illinois is a clear case of what happens to a state when the blue cities gain control. They will make sure they never give it up. While I applaud the counties for trying to leave, since they can\u2019t affect change any other way, in the end, it won\u2019t matter. The Democrats will not allow their slaves to escape and they are well on their way, with the assistance of corrupt members of the judicial branch to deny the citizens the ability to defend themselves against both criminals and the government.<\/p>\n<p>Now it\u2019s possible that the Congress might force the State to allow the counties to leave. There is precedent. West Virginia is made up of counties that didn\u2019t want to be part of the Confederacy so congress let them become a state in the Union. We may need to do something like this again.
