I've really been incredulous about whether or not any state could secede from the United States, but may these riots are not only the testing ground but the actual ground on which their secession occurs. But are they prepared to give up Federal money? Doesn't matter, they can always appeal for financial aid through USAID.

If Oregon wishes autonomy, it can do without federal funding. https://t.co/qISP8SpE5y
