Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
If Trump wins Oregon headed for a breakup?
Several right-wing groups are gathering signatures from residents of 15 Eastern Oregon counties that have had enough of this coastal insanity. They want either to become part of Idaho or form a new state with rural counties of Northern California. Well before Portland became the fashionable place for woke young retirees, Oregon was a reliably red state. Richard Nixon carried it in 1960, 1968 and 1972. Gerald Ford held it in 1976, and Ronald Reagan won by large margins in 1980 and 1984. In 1992 third-party candidate Ross Perot won 24% of the vote, almost certainly stealing Oregon for Democrat Bill Clinton. https://hotair.com/headlines/archives/2020/10/trump-reelected-oregon-headed-crack/

#2 The problem is Multnomah County, specifically the East side of Portland. Most of the rest of Oregon is Conservative or moderate not just Eastern Oregon. I would be for creating a separate State for most of Multnomah County in a heart beat.
