cascadia tries to do independence -> idaho nazis start attacking them with the tacit approval of the federal government -> canada intervenes militarily and libs finally understand the ukraine conflict.
Look, the Idaho ultranationalists are a marginal group that does not represent the whole of the Greater Idahoan Reich, the CanadianZZ are attacking an innocent northwest democracy
Oregon has enough home grown Nazis in all the rural areas that they don’t need the support of the Idaho klans. If taken seriously, part of the whole problem of the Cascadia movement is that some people want it to be a “bioregional” movement focused on environmentalism, stewardship of the land, and similarities of climate/natural habitats. Other people also want this, but add more explicit politics to the mix, and argue endlessly on whether certain sections of each state count because they want to understandably cut out all the fascists who are generally against responsible use of land and want it all for “muh cattle”.

yeah, as i understand PNW politics the nazis are mostly east of the rockies and some of them occasionally make noise about wanting to redraw state borders so they can be in idaho and i take that slightly more seriously than texan separatism.

I was with you until the libs understanding things part
I was with them until the “Canada intervenes militarily” part.
there’s a few places the analogy breaks down, although ~7 years of civil war on your doorstep might change something.
if somebody wants to properly game the scenario out, one complication is that Albertans would want to join Greater Idaho.
