[Fox9 via Lucianne] "Minnesota becomes more politically polarized every year and the metro politicians have shown us that rural Minnesotans are no longer represented by St Paul. It's time to leave," read a webpage on Munson's campaign website.

The idea echoes a similar push among rural Oregon counties to join Idaho.

Republican South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem appeared to be in support of Munson's idea, by retweeting his plan.

"In South Dakota, we roll out the red carpet for people who love personal responsibility and Freedom," tweeted Noem.
sigh, who am I kidding? St Paul will never let go.

#1 With the mumbling of civil war in the air, its just not about states separating but also counties from states. Could be some major realignments in the offing.

#2 Borders don't always have to move. Those rural minnesotans could vote with their feet.

#5 Eventually we could create a series of blue archipelagos: greater Seattle, Portland, Eugene and Olympia could become one political entity with 2 senators, and the rest of WA and OR could join Idaho. WA and OR would lose 4-5 House seats while keeping their senators; Idaho would gain those House seats.

Ditto for non-coastal California down to Bakersfield: those counties would join Nevada.

Rural Minnesota would join North Dakota.
