Eastern Oregon is a lot more like Idaho (ranching, agriculture, etc.) than the coast, so it's not really nonsense. The same is true of northern Idaho, which has a lot more in common with Washington state than southern Idaho, so I get that too, but as said, stuff like this has been going on all my life, and it doesn't happen. But it makes some sense.
That rational could be applied to every State in the Union to some degree: coastal California counties and the inland counties; southern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula, southern Florida and the Panhandle, northern Illinois and southern Illinois, etc.
Sure, but it's not stupid. It's not just conservative vs liberal, it's also economic, and other more practical things. Nothing wrong with advocating for something you think might work better for you.
