This will NEVER happen as long as the current political climate lasts and would loose steam if this climate dissolved into something more acceptable.

Why join with Idaho at all? Just become the 51st state. We’ll get two more right leaning Senators (we hope), right? Adapt the values, laws and regulations of the state you are emulating, use ID as an example, if that’s what you want. Besides, if the extremely improbable act of separation did happen, what guarantee did you have that Idaho would let you join them? It requires acts of the state legislatures and the US congress to allow both the separation, and the combination. It will not happen. Look at the state of Liberty movement in WA state, Jefferson in CA, Northern Colorado in CO, Arrowhead in MN, UP in MI, Forgottentonia in IL, etc, etc. Not one of these state separatist movements have ever succeeded. There has been a balance to the leaning of states during the joining of the last several, ie HI and AK. No way do the left leaning legislatures of OR, WA and CA let these dominated subjects have their own pair of US Senators to shift the balance in DC to the right. IT WILL NOT EVER HAPPEN!

Congress has to approve any State border realignment. Wyden and Merkley have both said they will NOT support the Greater Idaho movement. They aren’t going to vote themselves out of a job.

Salem will never let go of the tax base. If eastern Oregon wants to cut loose, they must immediately begin withholding their tax money.

..Arizona has the same problems…used to be a great state with conservative ideals and morals…in the last few decades we have been over run by many people moving from California that have brought their form of Socialism and ‘WOKE’ policies plus encouraging a ‘open border’ scheme to ‘enhance our culture’…now the schools are ruined by non English speaking students and under qualified Spanish peaking teachers…crime has gone through the roof in once quiet neighborhoods…we are caught between New Mexico (left leaning) and California (left leaning) and the future for Arizona looks tenuous to say the least…our WOKE Governor is very disappointing and she waffles by saying one thing and then does just the opposite that encourages more open border police policies to the determent of white conservative citizens…the state Capital is very much a Hispanic employer and only a few ‘token’ white people work there…don’t believe me, go down and walk the Capital grounds and visit any of the offices…looks like ‘green card city’ at the least…Arizona is soon to be California on steroids if it continues the path of Progressive-Socialism which continues its current core values…sad commentary for a once Great State…
